Abstract

A method for generating a low-power circuit from a Shannon graph having a plurality of primary inputs, a plurality of nodes including parent and child nodes, a first end-terminal, and a second end-terminal, each of the plurality of nodes having output edges associated therewith, includes the steps of: substituting the plurality of nodes and associated output edges with a plurality of cells, one cell for each node and output edge associated therewith, each cell including a plurality of elements; coupling a cell substituted for a parent node to cells substituted for child nodes of the parent node; and bypassing particular elements of child nodes having only one parent node.
