A + AB = A + B

A Boolean algebra rule stating that adding a term to a sum with that term and another term simplifies to the term plus the other term.

(A + B)(A + C) = A + BC

A Boolean algebra rule stating that the product of two sums simplifies to a sum of two terms.

DeMorgan's 1st Theorem

The complement of a product of variables is equal to the sum of the complemented variables.

AB = A + B

A statement about the relationship between a product and a sum. Important for De Morgan's Theorem.

Study Notes

Course Information

Digital Fundamentals

  • Textbook: Digital Fundamentals, 9th edition by Floyd

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.
