Summary :

This paper considers methods to design multiple-output networks based on decision diagrams (DDs). TDM (time-division multiplexing) systems transmit several signals on a single line. These methods reduce: 1) hardware; 2) logic levels; and 3) pins. In the TDM realizations, we consider three types of DDs: shared binary decision digrams (SBDDs), shared multiple-valued decision diagrams (SMDDs), and shared multi-terminal multiple-valued decision diagrams (SMTMDDs). In the network, each non-terminal node of a DD is realized by a multiplexer (MUX). We propose heuristic algorithms to derive SMTMDDs from SBDDs. We compare the number of non-terminal nodes in SBDDs, SMDDs, and SMTMDDs. For nrm n, log n, and for many other benchmark functions, SMTMDD-based realizations are more economical than other ones, where nrm n is a (2n)-input (n1)-output function computing (X2+Y2)+0.5, log n is an n-input n-output function computing (2n1)log(x1)/nlog2, and a denotes the largest integer not greater than a.
