In digital systems where Boolean functions are frequently manipulated, it is important to know how evaluation time of Boolean functions is consumed during their execution by the processor. Estimation of the evaluation time of Boolean functions plays an important role in function-architecture co-design. The evaluation time complexity of Boolean functions represented by Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) is directly related to the path length of the BDD. This paper describes a BDD approach that gives an estimation method for the time evaluation of Boolean functions. The proposed technique is validated using both experimental and mathematical techniques.
