Polymorphic gates are unconventional circuit components that are not supported by
existing synthesis tools. This article presents new methods for synthesis of
polymorphic circuits. Proposed methods, based on polymorphic binary decision
diagrams and polymorphic multiplexing, extend the ordinary circuit
representations with the aim of including polymorphic gates. In order to reduce
the number of gates in circuits synthesized using proposed methods, an
evolutionary optimization based on Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) is
implemented. The implementations of polymorphic circuits optimized by CGP
represent the best known solutions if the number of gates is considered as the
decision criterion.
