    Study Notes

    Boolean Operations & Expressions

    • Variable: A symbol representing a logical quantity
    • Complement: The inverse of a variable, denoted by a bar over the variable. For example, the complement of variable A is Ā. If A = 0, then Ā = 1, and vice versa.
    • Literal: A variable or its complement.
    • Boolean Addition: Equivalent to the OR operation.
      • 0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 0 = 1, 1 + 1 = 1.
      • A sum term is 1 when one or more literals are 1, and 0 only if all literals are 0.
    • Boolean Multiplication: Equivalent to the AND operation.
      • 0·0 = 0, 0·1 = 0, 1·0 = 0, 1·1 = 1.
      • A product term is 1 only if all literals are 1, and 0 if one or more literals are 0.

    Laws & Rules of Boolean Algebra

    • Fundamental Laws:
      • Commutative Laws:
        • Addition: A + B = B + A
        • Multiplication: AB = BA
      • Associative Laws:
        • Addition: A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C
        • Multiplication: A(BC) = (AB)C
      • Distributive Laws: A(B + C) = AB + AC
    • Additional Rules:
      • A + 0 = A
      • A + 1 = 1
      • A · 0 = 0
      • A · 1 = A
      • A + A = A
      • A + Ā = 1
      • A · A = A
      • A · Ā = 0
      • A = A
      • A + AB = A
      • A + ĀB = A + B
      • (A + B)(A + C) = A + BC

    DeMorgan’s Theorems

    • Describe the equivalence of NAND and negative-OR gates, and NOR and negative-AND gates.
    • Theorem 1: The complement of two or more ANDed variables is equivalent to the OR of the complements of the individual variables.
      • X · Y = X + Y
    • Theorem 2: The complement of two or more ORed variables is equivalent to the AND of the complements of the individual variables.
      • X + Y = X · Y

    Boolean Analysis of Logic Circuits

    • Uses Boolean algebra to concisely express the operation of logic circuits, allowing for determination of output for various input combinations.
    • Steps to derive a Boolean expression:
      • Start from the input and work towards the output, writing the expression for each gate.

    Standard Forms of Boolean Expressions

    • Sum-of-Products (SOP): Two or more product terms are summed by Boolean addition.
    • Product-of-Sums (POS): Two or more sum terms are multiplied.
    • Converting to Standard Forms:
      • Use the distributive law and rules of Boolean algebra to expand expressions.
      • Ensure that each product term in SOP form or each sum term in POS form includes all variables.
      • If a variable is missing, it is implied to be multiplied or added with 1 or 0, respectively (A + 0 = A or AB = AB · 1).

    Boolean Expressions and Truth Tables

    • Creating Truth Tables:
      • List all possible combinations of binary values for the variables.
      • Convert the expression to standard form (SOP or POS).
      • Place a 1 in the output column for the binary values that make the standard SOP or POS expression true (1 for SOP, 0 for POS). Place 0 in the output column for all remaining binary values.

    The Karnaugh Map

    • A graphical method for simplifying Boolean expressions.
    • Provides a visual representation of all possible combinations of input variables.
    • Employs a specific arrangement of cells to group adjacent 1s, representing product terms.
    • Helps identify redundant terms and simplify the expression.
