Abstract(in English) This paper shows a method to reduce numbers of outputs of cells for an LUT cascade emulator with intermediate outputs by considering encoding. The amount of memory decreases with the reduction of the number of inputs for each cell. However, it increases the number of cells in LUT cascade emulators, and increases the evaluation time. However, our approach reduces the amount of memory by reducing outputs of cells without increasing the number of cells. We use a BDD for characteristic function (BDD_for_CF) for representing multiple-output logic functions. Experimental results show that our approach reduces the amount of memory, on the average, by 25%.
