Chapter 4: Boolean Algebra and Logic Simplification
- Boolean Algebra
- Variables represent actions, conditions, or data
- Variables have values of 1 or 0
- Complement: the inverse of a variable (indicated by an overbar)
- Literal: a variable or its complement
- Boolean Operations
- Addition (OR): the sum term is 1 if one or more literals are 1, and 0 only if all literals are 0.
- Multiplication (AND): the product term is 1 only if all literals are 1.
- Boolean Algebra Laws and Rules
- Commutative: A + B = B + A and AB = BA
- Associative: A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C and A(BC) = (AB)C
- Distributive: A(B + C) = AB + AC
Rules of Boolean Algebra
- A + 0 = A
- A + 1 = 1
- A · 0 = 0
- A · 1 = A
- A + A = A
- A + A = 1
- A · A = A
- A · A = 0
- 𝐴 = 𝐴
- A + AB = A
- A + AB = A + B
- (A + B)(A + C) = A + BC
DeMorgan's Theorem
- DeMorgan's First Theorem: (AB) = A + B
- DeMorgan's Second Theorem: (A + B) = A · B
Boolean Analysis of Logic Circuits
- Karnaugh Maps (K-maps)
- Used to simplify combinational logic
- 3 or 4 variables are used
- Cells are grouped to simplify expressions
- SOP (Sum of Products): expression where two or more product terms are summed
- POS (Product of Sums): expression where two or more sum terms are multiplied
- Standard forms: Every variable must appear in each term of the expression
- Simplifying Boolean expressions using the rules of Boolean algebra and K-maps. Examples of applying the rules provided with steps.
