Digital combinational circuit optimization using invasive weed optimization technique
Prabhat Kumar Patnaik, Dhruba Charan Panda, Santosh Kumar Pantina · 2014
Minimization of digital circuits is required to reduce the area, power consumption, propagation delay and number of active gates. Human methods of minimization like Karnaugh map, Quine’ McCluskey, Sasao methods are tedious and are limited to systems with four or five inputs. A new bio-inspired algorithm called Invasive weed optimization (IWO) is used to minimize the combinational circuits. Results are presented to show that IWO based optimization of digital circuits are equivalent to or even with better solution than human design techniques.
