Minimizer Algorithms
Boolean Minimization uses a Karnaugh map approach, also known as a Veitch diagram, K-map, or KV-map.The Boolean Equation software follows the Quine-McCluskey algorithm to implement Karnaugh mapping.
In contrast, Logic Synthesis performs automated logic synthesis by searching for circuits that provide the transfer function specified by the input and output signal waveforms.
Because the search begins with the fewest possible gates or flip flops, the first circuit solution found will generally be the simplest possible solution.
The below table compares the minimization algorithms of the two tools:
