8.11 Larger 5 & 6-variable Karnaugh Maps
Larger Karnaugh maps reduce larger logic designs. How large is large enough? That depends on the number of inputs,...

8.10 Don’t Care Cells in the Karnaugh Map
Up to this point we have considered logic reduction problems where the input conditions were completely specified. That...
8.9 Sum and Product Notation
For reference, this section introduces the terminology used in some texts to describe the minterms and maxterms...
8.8 Minterm vs Maxterm Solution
So far we have been finding Sum-Of-Product (SOP) solutions to logic reduction problems. For each of these SOP...
8.7 Larger 4-variable Karnaugh Maps
Knowing how to generate Gray code should allow us to build larger maps. Actually, all we need to do is look at the left...
8.6 Logic Simplification With Karnaugh Maps
The logic simplification examples that we have done so far could have been performed with Boolean algebra about as...
8.5 Karnaugh Maps, Truth Tables, and Boolean Expressions
Who Developed the Karnaugh Map? Maurice Karnaugh, a telecommunications engineer, developed the Karnaugh map at Bell...
8.4 Making a Venn Diagram Look Like a Karnaugh Map
Starting with circle A in a rectangular A’ universe in figure (a) below, we morph a Venn diagram into almost a...
8.3 Boolean Relationships on Venn Diagrams
The fourth example has A partially overlapping B. Though, we will first look at the whole of all hatched area below,...
8.2 Venn Diagrams and Sets
Mathematicians use Venn diagrams to show the logical relationships of sets (collections of objects) to one another....
8.1 Introduction to Karnaugh Mapping
Why learn about Karnaugh maps? The Karnaugh map, like Boolean algebra, is a simplification tool applicable to digital...
