  • Abstract
    TANT is a three-level AND-NOT network with true inputs composed solely of NAND gates. This correspondence describe a systematic method for minimizing a TANT circuit and the heuristic algorithms for different stages of the technique are provided along with it to improve the existing method. It has been also shown that, the existing method produces sub optimal result in some cases, where as the proposed one produces the optimal result. Algorithms in each step of the proposed method are extensively discussed in this paper.
