This paper presents an algorithm of reducing the literal product terms(LPT) to minimize MVL functions expressed in exclusive-sum-of-literal-product(ESOLP) from by inserting LPTs and making LPT-loops artificially. The insertable LPTs are derived from the distance calculation method between adjacent LPTs. Since ESOLP-expressed functions can be formulated in two-level MIN/EXOR structure, a 4-valued MIN/EXOR dynamic-CMOS PLA circuit is designed for the realization of the minimized functions. Finally, PSPICE simulation results for the dynamic CMOS implementation of a 4-valued, 2-product-line-input, 2-output PLA have been also presented.
