Abstract
Most switching functions are not realizable by a single cascade of 2-input 1-output switching elements, even if repeated inputs are allowed. However, arrays of such cascades feeding a single collector cascade of AND or OR cells can be used to synthesize any function. This paper is concerned with optimal array realizations of this form.
