Electronic devices are composed of numerous blocks of digital circuits, the combination of which performs some required task. The efficient implementation of logic functions in the form of logic gate circuits (such that no more logic gates are used than are necessary) is necessary to minimize production costs, and/or maximize a device's performance.
One strategy for adapting ODE solution methods to DAEs is called direct discretization and is the method of choice in circuit simulation. [5]: 204-205 Simulation-based methods for time-based network analysis solve a circuit that is posed as an initial value problem (IVP).
Electromagnetic field solvers (or sometimes just field solvers) are specialized programs that solve (a subset of) Maxwell's equations directly. They form a part of the field of electronic design automation, or EDA, and are commonly used in the design of integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. They are used when a solution from first ...
Mesh analysis (or the mesh current method) is a circuit analysis method for planar circuits. Planar circuits are circuits that can be drawn on a plane surface with no wires crossing each other. A more general technique, called loop analysis (with the corresponding network variables called loop currents ) can be applied to any circuit, planar or ...
In computer science and formal methods, a SAT solver is a computer program which aims to solve the Boolean satisfiability problem.On input a formula over Boolean variables, such as "(x or y) and (x or not y)", a SAT solver outputs whether the formula is satisfiable, meaning that there are possible values of x and y which make the formula true, or unsatisfiable, meaning that there are no such ...
In digital logic, a don't-care term [1] [2] (abbreviated DC, historically also known as redundancies, [2] irrelevancies, [2] optional entries, [3] [4] invalid combinations, [5] [4] [6] vacuous combinations, [7] [4] forbidden combinations, [8] [2] unused states or logical remainders [9]) for a function is an input-sequence (a series of bits) for which the function output does not matter.
Circuit minimization may be one form of logic optimization used to reduce the area of complex logic in integrated circuits. With the advent of logic synthesis , one of the biggest challenges faced by the electronic design automation (EDA) industry was to find the most simple circuit representation of the given design description.
More generally, the solution set to an arbitrary collection E of relations (E i) (i varying in some index set I) for a collection of unknowns (), supposed to take values in respective spaces (), is the set S of all solutions to the relations E, where a solution () is a family of values (()) such that substituting () by () in the collection E makes all relations "true".
