  • Abstract
    A new approach to the state assignment problem for the synthesis of sequential switching circuits is applied to solve completely the synthesis problem of gateless counters. The necessary and sufficient condition that assures that the counter may be synthesised without gates is found. A method is developed to determine a priori if a given state table corresponds to a circuit that may be synthesised without gates.
