    Study Notes

    Logic Circuit Basics

    • Inversion is the complement of a variable, represented as A --> A'.
    • An inverter is depicted as a triangle with a small circle at the output.
    • A buffer is represented by a triangle without a circle, outputting the same value as input.
    • In a switch circuit, 0 represents an open (false) state and 1 represents a closed (true) state.

    Logic Operations

    • AND operation is represented by switches in series; all switches must be closed for an output of 1.
    • OR operation is represented by switches in parallel; at least one switch must be closed for an output of 1.
    • Two boolean expressions are equal if their truth tables are identical or if one can be transformed into the other using boolean algebra.

    Boolean Algebra Properties

    • X + 0 equals X, while X + 1 equals 1.
    • X * 1 equals X, and X * 0 equals 0.
    • The idempotent law states that X + X equals X and X * X equals X.
    • Involution law states that the complement of a complement returns the original variable: (X')' = X.
    • According to complementarity, X + X' equals 1, and X * X' equals 0.

    Circuit Connection Symbols

    • Wires are shown connected by a dot at the junction; if wires cross without a dot, they are not connected.
    • Dots indicate connected wires resembling a plus sign, while wires crossing without a dot indicate non-connection.

    Minterms and Literals

    • A literal refers to each appearance of a variable or its complement in an expression.
    • In the expression CD' + ABD, there are four variables and five literals.

    Logic Gates

    • NAND is the NOT operation on AND, and NOR is the NOT operation on OR.
    • XOR is an exclusive OR, resulting in 1 only if one input is true; outputs 0 if all inputs are 1.
    • XNOR is the exclusive NOR, outputting 1 if all inputs are the same (all 0s or all 1s).

    Laws of Boolean Algebra

    • The commutative law allows reordering of variables in AND and OR operations: XY = YX and X + Y = Y + X.
    • The associative law shows that grouping of variables doesn't affect the outcome: (XY)Z = XYZ and (X + Y) + Z = X + Y + Z.
    • The ordinary distributive law states X(Y + Z) = XY + XZ; the second distributive law states X + YZ = (X + Y)(X + Z).

    Duality in Boolean Algebra

    • The dual of a boolean expression is obtained by interchanging constants (1 and 0) and operations (AND and OR).
    • Example: The dual of X + X' = 1 is XX' = 0.

    DeMorgan’s Laws

    • DeMorgan's first law states that the complement of a sum is the product of the complements: (X + Y)' = X'Y'.
    • DeMorgan's second law states that the complement of a product is the sum of the complements: (XY)' = X' + Y'.

    Additional Concepts

    • Functional completeness allows any boolean expression to be expressed with particular logical operators.
    • The sum of minterms is also known as minterm expansion or standard sum of products.
    • Maxterms summarize outputs equal to 0, leading to expressions in product-of-sums (POS) notation.
    • The order of variables in function names is significant; different orders yield different minterms.
    • To translate an English statement into boolean logic, identify variables and construct an expression. For example, “The alarm will ring iff...” becomes Z = AB' + CD'.

    Expression Representation

    • To express functions in terms of minterms or maxterms, use standardized forms like f = ABC + A'B + ... for minterms.
