Study Notes
Boolean Logic
- Boolean logic involves values of TRUE or FALSE, developed by George Boole in the 19th century.
Boolean Algebra
- A system for manipulating truth values, important in computing as it aligns with binary representation (0 and 1).
De Morgan's Law
- Comprises two key principles for simplification in Boolean algebra:
- The negation of a conjunction equals the disjunction of the negations: NOT (A AND B) = (NOT A) OR (NOT B).
- The negation of a disjunction equals the conjunction of the negations: NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B).
Distributive Law
- Allows multiplication or factoring of expressions within Boolean algebra.
Associative Law
- Permits removal of brackets and regrouping variables in Boolean expressions.
Commutative Law
- States that the order of terms does not affect the result: A AND B = B AND A.
Double Negation
- A fundamental rule stating that negating a variable twice returns the original value: NOT (NOT A) = A.
Logic Gate Diagram
- A visual representation of Boolean logic using symbols to denote various logic gates like AND, OR, and NOT.
Truth Table
- A systematic method to define output for logic gates based on all input combinations.
Example Simplification Techniques
- Simplification of expressions using laws like Identity Law, Redundancy Law, and Commutative Law.
- For instance, reducing (A.B) + A to simply A by factoring out the common term.
AND Gate Truth Table
- A truth table that describes the output of an AND gate based on its inputs.
OR Gate Truth Table
- Outlines the outputs of an OR gate for various input combinations.
XOR Gate Truth Table
- Describes the exclusive OR operation, detailing when the output is true.
NOT Gate Truth Table
- Demonstrates how a NOT gate inverts its input, providing true output for false inputs and vice versa.
NAND Gate Truth Table
- Represents the output of a NAND gate, which is the negation of an AND gate.
NOR Gate Truth Table
- Illustrates the output of a NOR gate, which is the negation of an OR gate.
Identity Principles
- A + 0 = A; Adding 0 does not change the value.
- A + 1 = 1; Adding 1 results in 1.
- A . 0 = 0; Multiplying by 0 results in 0.
- A . 1 = A; Multiplying by 1 keeps the original value.
Relevant Laws
- A + A = A; Redundant variables do not change the outcome.
- A . A' = 0; A AND NOT A always results in false.
Binary Representation Examples
- The binary equivalent of 184 is 1011 1000.
- The binary equivalent of 233 is 11101001.
- The binary equivalent of 111 is 01101111.
