Study Notes
Boolean Algebra Terminology
- A term is a single literal or multiple literals connected by OR.
Product Terms
- A product term is a term in which each of the n variables appears exactly once either complemented or un-complemented, but not in both.
- Multiple product terms are connected with OR.
Sum Terms
- A sum term is a term in which each of the n variables appears exactly once either complemented or un-complemented, but not in both.
- Multiple sum terms are connected with AND.
Minterms and Maxterms
- For a 2-variable Boolean function, there are 2^2 = 4 minterms and 2^2 = 4 maxterms possible.
- For a 3-variable Boolean function, there are 2^3 = 8 minterms and 2^3 = 8 maxterms possible.
Canonical Expressions
- The canonical Sum-of-Product (SOP) expression is derived from the truth table.
- The canonical Product-of-Sum (POS) expression is also derived from the truth table.
- For a 3-variable Boolean function F = A+B+C, the canonical POS expression is (A'+B'+C')'(A+B'+C')'(A'+B+C')'(A'+B'+C').
