Abstract :
This paper presents a tutorial tool for switch logic. The tool has a set of features that allow a student to understand Boolean logic functions as well as its implementations with CMOS transistors viewed as switches. The user is able to specify Boolean functions and obtain minimal implementation by using either pass transistor logic or static CMOS complex gate implementation. Besides, the tool works with the concept of NPN and P equivalencies, developing the idea of which cells should be used to compose a cell library.
