FPGA LOGIC ELEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DISJUNCTIVE NORMAL FORM

Annotation

Logical element of programmable logic integrated circuits of FPGA (field-programmable gate array) type is called in foreign sources LUT (Look Up Table), i.e. it is essentially a truth table of a logic function. This implementation is based on the perfect disjunctive normal forms (PDNF) representation of the logic functions that require significant hardware costs, as opposed to the implementation in the disjunctive normal form (DNF), used with the 70-ies of XX century in the programmable logic array (PLA). At the same time, much of the logic functions implemented by a number k of conjunctions is much smaller than the total number of sets of n binary variables. However, for programming the PLA requires special programmers, whereas the configuration LUT is loaded into random access memory (RAM or SRAM). A DNF-LUT is proposed to implement a system of logical functions in DNF which significantly reduces the hardware cost of implementing the logic of programmable logic integrated circuits with no deterioration of the performance. Complexity of the proposed technical solutions and the results of functional simulation are analyzed.
