9.2.1 Specification of Each Output as a
Function of the Input Conditions
1. Specify the number of inputs, n. The n is also the number of literals in a Boolean
expression for an output.
2. Specify the number of outputs, m.
3. Specify the delays permitted at the outputs.
4. Specify the fan-ins permitted at the inputs.
5. Specify fan-outs permitted from the targets gates and building blocks.
6. Design a truth table for n inputs and m outputs. Each output corresponds to each pos-
sible combination of input conditions. Make a truth table consisting of 2
n
rows, n
columns on the left for the n inputs and m columns for the m outputs.
7. Write ...
