Matrix model of logical simulator within spreadsheet
This paper examines the use of spreadsheets for simulation of logical control units. A matrix model is proposed for this aim. The use of this model is appropriate both for teaching and learning of simulation of a specific type of integrated circuit — Programmable Logic Arrays — and also for any type of control unit representable in the form of a logical function system.
