    Study Notes

    Boolean Algebra Overview

    • Boolean algebra is the mathematics of digital systems
    • Variables represent logical quantities, taking values of 0 or 1
    • A complement is the inverse of a variable (indicated by a bar over the variable)

    Boolean Operations and Expressions

    • Boolean algebra uses specific operations (AND, OR, NOT)
    • AND is equivalent to Boolean multiplication (e.g., 0 ⋅ 0 = 0, 0 ⋅ 1 = 0, 1 ⋅ 0 = 0, 1 ⋅ 1 = 1)
    • OR is equivalent to Boolean addition (e.g., 0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 0 = 1, 1 + 1 = 1)
    • NOT inverts a variable (e.g., A' is the complement of A)

    Boolean Operations and Expressions (cont.)

    • A product term is the product of literals (variables)
    • A product term is equal to 1 if all literals in the term are 1
    • A product term is equal to 0 if any literal in the term is 0
    • A sum-of-products (SOP) expression is the sum of product terms (addition of products)

    Boolean Laws and Rules

    • Identity Law : A + 0 = A and A ⋅ 1 = A
    • Dominance Law : A + 1 = 1 and A ⋅ 0 = 0
    • Idempotent Law : A + A = A and A ⋅ A = A
    • Involution/Double Negation Law : A'' = A
    • Negation/Complement Law : A + A' = 1 and A ⋅ A' = 0
    • Commutative Law : A ⋅ B = B ⋅ A and A + B = B + A
    • Associative Law : A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C and A ⋅ (B ⋅ C) = (A ⋅ B) ⋅ C
    • Distributive Law : A + (B ⋅ C) = (A + B) ⋅ (A + C) and A ⋅ (B + C) = (A ⋅ B) + (A ⋅ C)
    • Absorption Law : A + (A ⋅ B) = A and A ⋅ (A + B) = A
    • De Morgan's Theorem : (A + B)' = A' ⋅ B' and (A ⋅ B)' = A' + B'

    Karnaugh Maps (K-Maps)

    • K-maps are graphical tools for simplifying Boolean expressions
    • The size of a K-map depends on the number of variables
    • Used to simplify SOP expressions

    Logic Gates

    • Logic gates are the basic building blocks of digital systems
    • Implement Boolean operations
    • Examples of logic gates include OR, AND, NOT, XOR, XNOR, NOR
