Abstract
In this work, the authors consider the problem of logic minimization for a special class of Boolean networks, targeting low power implementation, using static CMOS logic. The authors start by framing a new binary minterm-value (BmV) matrix/binary max term-value (BMV) matrix for a binary 2-tuple, [mi (Mi), mj (Mj)], where HD (mi (Mi), mj (Mj)) is O(n), where n represents the support of a Boolean function. The quality of the resulting circuits, evaluated on the basis of established cost metrics for a modest 0.35mu TSMC CMOS process, demonstrate average savings in power by 14.39% for the samples mentioned in this paper, besides reduction in gate and literal count by 36.59% and 11.35% respectively, over the best of existing methods

Two-level logic minimization: an overview

Olivier Coudert
- 01 Oct 1994 - 
TL;DR: This paper exposes the classical approach for two-level logic minimization, and presents the recent developments that overcome the limitations of the procedures proposed in the past, and reveals a minimizer that is 10 up to 50 times faster than the previously best known ones, and that is able to handle more complex functions.

Gate-level power estimation using tagged probabilistic simulation

TL;DR: A probabilistic simulation technique to estimate the power consumption of a CMOS circuit under a general delay model based on the notion of a tagged (probability) waveform, which models the set of all possible events at the output of each circuit node.
