This paper is concerned with the computer design of the multiple-output switching functions by using the improved MASK method in order to obtain the paramount prime implicants (prime implicants of the multiple-output switching function) and new algorithm to design the optimal logic network. All the given minterms for each function are considered as minterms of one switching function to simplify the desigh procedures. And then the improved MASK method whose memory requirement and time consuming are much less than any existing known method is applied to identify the paramount prime implicants. In selecting the irredundant paramount prime implicants, new cost criteria are generated. This design technuque is suitable both for solving a problem by hand or programming it on a digital computer.
