Iterative Combinational Switching Networksߞ General Design Considerations

An iterative network is a combinational switching circuit which consists of a series of identical "cells" or sub-networks; for example, the stages of a parallel binary adder. A formal design method for iterative networks is presented. This is similar to the flow table technique for designing sequlential circuits.
