is there any software available that I can input an expression, specify what kind of gates i want to be implemented, and have it create a circuit diagram with those characteristics?

Sure, why not try LTSpice. Just go to Linear Technology's homepage and on the left side of the page you'll see an icon noting "LTSPice'. I think you might have to be a member to download it though.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not that familiar with the software, as I am just beginning to learn about this stuff. Where would you input the expression?

Try cedar logic. You don't input the logic expression, but you literally pick from a catalog of gates and it draws them. Its not hard to go from x'+y to an OR gate with 2 inputs and a NOT gate connected to X. You should be able to do that anyway. Its important.

Its an actual simulator so you can check if your design works also, and use a timing diagram to see what the output looks like vs the input. And you can do much more. Just mess with it.

Try it out. Its free (can't beat that)
