Abstract A complete procedure of minimizing input logic in designing
both completely and incompletely specified synchronous, finite state
sequential networks is presented in detail. This procedure consists
of three important steps: 1) state simplification, 2) state assignment
and 3) input logic realization. Two new ideas are presented
in the procedure of minimizing internal states. First, the number
in the minimal final class which is chosen from the final class is
used as the lower bound of a minimal closed set. Second, the
minimal closed set is found by means of the implication graph. The
implication graph is also used to find a partition with a substitution
property for given internal states in state assignment. This partition
always leads to an economical state assignment. Useful and
important principles are developed for deriving the input logic set
for any type of flipflop. The results provided a much simpler and
faster way to derive the input logic than do analytic methods.
