Electronic Circuits
- George Boole proposed algebra for symbolically representing logic problems in 1854.
- Boolean algebra is named after him.
- Boolean algebra was used in engineering problems in 1938 by C.E. Shannon.
- E.V. Huntington defined postulates for Boolean algebra in 1904.
Fundamental Postulates of Boolean Algebra
- Postulates are the basic assumptions from which theorems and properties are derived in a mathematical system.
- Closure: A set is closed with respect to a binary operator if every pair of elements in the set produces a unique element in the set under that operation. The result of each operation with the operator or is either 1 or 0.
- Identity Element: A set is said to have an identity element if there exists an element e within the set that satisfies the equation e * x = x * e = x for all x in the set.
- eg. 0 + 0 = 0; 0 + 1 = 1 + 0 = 1; 11 = 1, 10=0*1=1
- a*0= a
- a*1= a
- Commutative Law: A binary operator * on a set S is said to be commutative if x * y= y * x for all x, y ∈ S.
- eg. A + B = B + A; A * B = B * A
- Distributive Law: If * and • are two binary operations on a set S, • is said to be distributive over + whenever x • (y + z) = (x • y) + (x • z)
- eg. A * (B + C) = (A * B) + (A * C); A+ (B * C) = (A + B) * (A + C)
- Inverse: A set S having the identity element e, is said to have an inverse, whenever for every x ∈ S, there exists an element x' ∈ S such that x * x' = e
- eg. x + x' = 1; x * x' = 0
Theorems and Properties of Boolean Algebra
-
Theorems are derived from postulates.
-
x + x = x; x ∗ x = x
-
x + 1 = 1; x ∗ 0 = 0
-
(x')' = x
-
x + xy = x; x (x+ y) = x
-
x+x'y= x+ y; x(x'+ y)= xy
-
Associative property: A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C and A * (B * C) = (A * B) * C
-
Distributive property: A + BC = (A + B) (A + C) and A (B + C) = AB + AC
-
Commutative property: A + B = B + A and A * B = B * A
Boolean Functions
-
Boolean function simplification is done using Boolean algebra properties, laws and theorems. Examples:
-
x(x'+y) = xy
-
x + x'y = x + y
-
(x+y)(x+y') = x
-
xy + x'z + yz = xy + x'z
-
xy + yZ + y'z = xy + z
-
(x+y)(x'+z)(y+z) = xy + xyz + x'z + x'yz
-
xy' + xy + x'y'= y+ x'y'
-
x'y'z'+x'yz'+xy'z'+xyz'=z'(x'+x)+y'z'(x'+x) =z'+xy'
-
w'xy'z+ w'xyz+ wxz = xz(w'+w) =xz
