Hey, guys. I'm taking a class on Digital Electronics, and I'm asked to project a circuit on weekly basis.

Well, projecting the circuit is actually easy. The problem is that the circuits are always too big and it's a pain to do it.

So, what I'm looking for is a simple way to write functions given a know truth-table

Initially I tought about using a MUX, so the selector would work as the input. But it turns out that since I have 6 functions it would turn out even bigger

So is there any simple way I could make 6 functions on 4 variables each shorter than with simple logic gates? It would help a lot.

Thanks in advance!
 

Not completely clear about what you are trying to accomplish?

Are you looking for software to help design and lay out the functions
OR
The actual functionality?


if the actual functionality have you thought about a 'State machine'?
 

Yeah, actually I'm designing a state machine
But the circuit usually gets way to large
So I'm wondering if there's a way to make it shorter somehow, with fewer IC's.
