Study Notes
Truth Table of NOR Gate
- A two-input NOR gate produces an output of 1 only when both inputs are 0.
- Relationships:
- A=0, B=0 → A NOR B = 1
- A=0, B=1 → A NOR B = 0
- A=1, B=0 → A NOR B = 0
- A=1, B=1 → A NOR B = 0
NAND Gate Overview
- Commonly used universal logic gate performing inverted AND operations.
- Configuration:
- NAND Gate = AND Gate + NOT Gate
- Outputs low (logic 0) only when all inputs are high (logic 1).
Truth Table of XOR Gate
- An exclusive OR (XOR) gate outputs 1 when inputs differ.
- Relationships:
- A=0, B=0 → A XOR B = 0
- A=0, B=1 → A XOR B = 1
- A=1, B=0 → A XOR B = 1
- A=1, B=1 → A XOR B = 0
XNOR Gate Properties
- XNOR gate outputs high (logic 1) when both inputs are similar.
- Defined as:
- XNOR Gate = XOR Gate + NOT Gate
- Serves as a similarity detector in circuits.
Truth Table of XNOR Gate
- Relationships:
- A=0, B=0 → A XNOR B = 1
- A=0, B=1 → A XNOR B = 0
- A=1, B=0 → A XNOR B = 0
- A=1, B=1 → A XNOR B = 1
Applications of Logic Gates
- Essential components in digital circuits.
- Utilized in:
- Computers
- Microprocessors
- Microcontrollers
- Digital/Smart watches
- Smartphones
Boolean Functions
- Define logical operations through binary variables.
- Represented by Boolean Expressions.
- Example: F = xy'z + p outputs 1 when conditions are met.
Methods of Simplification: K-map
- Minterms and Maxterms:
- Minterm: Product of distinct literals (outputs 1).
- Maxterm: Sum of distinct literals (outputs 0).
K-map for Three Variables
- For F(A, B, C) = ∏M(0, 3, 6, 7), significant terms derived through grouping.
K-map for Four Variables
- For F(A, B, C, D) = ∏M(3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13), grouping leads to minimal expression.
Don’t Care Conditions in K-Maps
- "Don’t Care" conditions allow flexibility in grouping, leading to simplification of Boolean expressions.
- They can be treated as 1, 0, or ignored, enhancing group sizes.
Significance of "Don’t Care" Conditions
- Simplifies output expression, accounting for invalid inputs.
- Reduces the number of gates needed in circuit design, making it more economical.
- Lowers power consumption by minimizing switching states and memory space.
Examples of Minimizing Functions with K-Maps
- Applying SOP and POS forms illustrates simplifications effectively.
- Utilize don’t care conditions for optimal circuit design and expression reduction.
