    Study Notes

    Boolean Functions - Lecture 5

    • Boolean functions are represented using canonical and standard forms
    • Canonical forms allow comparison for equality and comparison to truth tables
    • Common canonical forms are Sum-of-Minterms (SOM) and Product-of-Maxterms (POM)

    Overview - Canonical Forms

    • What are Canonical Forms?: Used to define Boolean functions in a standard form
    • Minterms and Maxterms: Fundamental building blocks in Boolean algebra
    • Index Representation of Minterms and Maxterms: Important for representing the variables' complemented or uncomplemented states using binary indices
    • Sum-of-Minterm (SOM) Representations: Sum of minterms represents a Boolean function as a sum of terms
    • Product-of-Maxterm (POM) Representations: Product of maxterms represents a Boolean function as a product of terms
    • Representation of Complements of Functions: Technique for representing the complement of a function
    • Conversions between Representations: Conversion method between SOM and POM

    Example of Algebraic Simplification of Boolean Functions

    • An example of simplifying a Boolean function using algebraic manipulation is shown
    • The steps and results of the algebraic simplification of the function are provided

    Minterms and Maxterms

    • Minterms: AND terms with every variable appearing either complemented or uncomplemented, result in 1 for a certain input and 0 for all others

    • Variables are either normal(e.g. x) or complemented (e.g., x’)

    • There are 2n minterms for n variables

    • Example (2 variables): Two variables produce 4 combinations (both normal), (X normal, Y complemented), (X complemented, Y normal), (both complemented)

    • Maxterms: OR terms with each variable appearing in either complemented or uncomplemented form, resulting in a 0 value for a specific input and a 1 for all other inputs

    • There are 2n maxterms for n variables

    • Example (2 variables): Two variables produce 4 combinations (both normal), (X normal, Y complemented), (X complemented, Y normal), (both complemented)

    Minterms and Maxterms Definition Examples.

    • Two-variable example: Show how minterms and maxterms are identified, and the index system describes complemented and uncomplemented variables.

    Introduction to Canonical Forms

    • Purpose of the index: The binary index indicates whether each variable in the minterm/maxterm is uncomplemented ("1") or complemented ("0")
    • Minterms and maxterms with a subscript: Minterms and maxterms have a subscript corresponding to their decimal binary value. This allows for expressing the minterm and maxterm, and all variables are presented in a consistent order (alphabetical generally)
    • Example (for 3 variables): minterms and maxterms of three variables (x, y, z) are presented through tabular representations of their definition

    Implementation by Minterms and Maxterms

    • Implementing functions using minterms and maxterms is described
    • Using ORing of minterms or ANDing of maxterms to represent a function
    • This results in two canonical forms: SOM and POM

    Canonical Sum of Minterms
