  • Abstract
    This letter provides an interesting analysis of the number of DON´T CARES required to reduce the complexity of combinational circuits. An equation relating the number of ones in the output of a combinational function and the number of DON´T CARES required to reduce circuit complexity by 10 percent is given.
