Tag: Karnaugh Mapping

Larger Karnaugh maps reduce larger logic designs. How large is large enough? That depends on the number of inputs,...

Up to this point we have considered logic reduction problems where the input conditions were completely specified. That...

For reference, this section introduces the terminology used in some texts to describe the minterms and maxterms...

So far we have been finding Sum-Of-Product (SOP) solutions to logic reduction problems. For each of these SOP...

Knowing how to generate Gray code should allow us to build larger maps. Actually, all we need to do is look at the left...

The logic simplification examples that we have done so far could have been performed with Boolean algebra about as...

Who Developed the Karnaugh Map? Maurice Karnaugh, a telecommunications engineer, developed the Karnaugh map at Bell...

Starting with circle A in a rectangular A’ universe in figure (a) below, we morph a Venn diagram into almost a...

The fourth example has A partially overlapping B. Though, we will first look at the whole of all hatched area below,...

Mathematicians use Venn diagrams to show the logical relationships of sets (collections of objects) to one another....

Why learn about Karnaugh maps? The Karnaugh map, like Boolean algebra, is a simplification tool applicable to digital...
