A digital approach to the efficient synthesis of threshold gates

G. C. E. Winn *

Department of Electronics, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK

The problem of logic circuit complexity encountered in employing a conventional Boolean implementation technique for the synthesis of threshold gates have resulted in proposals for an alternative technology for this purpose. In contrast to this, this paper presents a new technique for the efficient synthesis of threshold gates from Boolean logic gates. Results obtained using this technique for a range of different gate designs are shown to provide a highly efficient implementation without incurring the large propagation delays created by factorisation of the minimised sum-of-product or product-of-sum expressions. The technique thus provides an attractive solution for the implementation of threshold gates from conventional technologies.

Received October 1973.
