This paper presents a new Boolean extraction technique for logic synthesis. This method extracts two-cube Boolean subexpression pairs from each logic expression. It begins by creating two-cube array, which is extended and compressed with complements of two-cube Boolean subexpressions. Next, the compressed two-cube array is analyzed to extract common subexpressions for several logic expressions. The method is greedy and extracts the best common subexpression. Experimental results show the improvements in the literal counts over well-known logic synthesis tools for some benchmark circuits.
