Abstract :
The detection of hazards in combinational switching networks can be accomplished by Boolean algebra if the independence of component states during transients is taken into account. In this note, several new techniques for carrying out such analysis are introduced. It is also shown that certain ambiguities in previous analysis procedures can lead to incorrect conclusions regarding the presence of dynamic hazards.
