Boolean Representations Terminology Example F(a,b,c)=ab+c+ac What are the variables? What are the literals? What are the product terms? 5

Boolean Representations Terminology Example F(a,b,c)=ab+c+ac Variables: a, b, c Literals: a, b, c, a, c Product terms: ab, c, ac 6

Boolean Representations Sum-of-Products Form Equation written as OR of product terms Examples: Following are in sum-of-products form ab + a c a + b + cde Following are not in sum-of-products form (a+b)c (a ) + b variable should be complemented or uncomplemented form 7

Boolean Representations Product-of-Sums Form Equation written as AND of sum terms Examples: Following are in product-of-sums form a (a + c) (a + b) a b (c + d + e) Following are not in sum-of-products form (a b)+c (a ) b variable should be complemented or uncomplemented form 8

Boolean Representations Normal Term A product or a sum term no variable appears more than once A nonnormal term can be simplified to a constant or a normal term Nonnormal terms example: abbc, a+a+c, aa b Normal terms example: abc, a +b+c 9

Boolean Representations Minterm A product term in which literals include every variable only once, either true or complemented form Example: What are the minterms of the function: F(a,b,c)=ab+abc +ac +c 10

Boolean Representations Minterm A product term in which literals include every variable only once, either true or complemented form Example: What are the minterms of the function: F(a,b,c)=ab+abc +ac +c Answer: abc An equation is sum-of-minterms form if: every product term is a minterm Example: F(a,b,c)=abc+ab c+a b c 11

Boolean Representations Maxterm A sum term in which literals include every variable only once, either true or complemented form Example: What are the maxterms of the function: F(a,b,c)=(a+b) (a+b+c ) (a+c ) c 12

Boolean Representations Maxterm A sum term in which literals include every variable only once, either true or complemented form Example: What are the maxterms of the function: F(a,b,c)=(a+b) (a+b+c ) (a+c ) c Answer: a+b+c An equation is product-of-maxterms form if: every sum term is a maxterm Example: F(a,b,c)=(a+b+c) (a+b +c) (a +b +c ) 13

Karnaugh Maps Don t Care Conditions Some input states never occur output states are irrelevant Input states may occur but output don t need to be specified In k-map, dc can be used for minterms or maxterms To simplify with dc conditions: assign a dc condition a 0 or 1, then simplify In a k-map, dc conditions are shown as: -, d, x 88

Minimization Strategies Other Methods Other than K-maps, methods exist for minimizing CAD-based tools (Computer Automated Design) heuristic: good solution, close to optimal but not necessarily optimal exact algorithm: yields optimal solution Cubical representations Tabular method (Quine-McCluskey) 95

Karnaugh Maps Summary Karnaugh maps used to simplify truth tables Group together adjacent cells containing ones 1s grouping is done for a group of: 2 0, 2 1, 2 2 1s Every one must be in at least one group Each group should be as large as possible Fewest number of groups possible Overlapping of 1s is allowed Zeros are not allowed Diagonal groupings are not allowed For DC conditions; assign a 0 or a 1 and then simplify 99
