Timed binary decision diagrams

The paper presents an extension to OBDDs with timing information, called timed binary decision diagrams (TBDDs). TBDDs are also canonical and allow the symbolic manipulation of Boolean functions with timing information. A TBDD software package is implemented based on the existing CMU BDD package. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the TBDDs in representing circuits with both functional and timing information.
