and the speed will be increased. Logic minimization uses a variety of techniques to obtain the simplest gate-level implementation of a logic function. A The heart of digital logic design is the Boolean algebra (Boole‚ 1954)[2].A few decades later C.E.Shannon showed how the Boolean algebra can be used in the design of digital circuits(Shannon‚1938)[7].Using Boolean laws It is possible to minimize digital logic circuits(Huntington‚1904).Since minimization with the use of Boolean laws is not systematic
