Abstract
Leveraging existing Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) to enhance circuit reductions in a system model representing a state machine as a netlist. The netlist is evaluated to determine the regions with the greatest potential reductions. BDD sweeping is performed to identify redundancies in the netlist. BDD rewriting implements the circuit reductions by replacing gates of the original netlist with more efficient equivalent logic.
