Logic Circuit Design by Neural NeTwork and PSO Algorithm

In this paper, a new logic circuit design technique by using neural network and particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is proposed. The neural network was used to substitute the logic unit and PSO algorithm was used to determine the possibility of connections among the logic units. By off-line gate-level samples, the simulation results clearly demonstrate the validity of this new technique. It could be taken as an alternative way for possible evolutionary hardware applications in the future.
