Page 1: Boolean Operations and Expressions

Key Terms

  • Variable: A symbol representing a logical quantity that can be either 1 (true) or 0 (false).

  • Complement: The inverse of a variable, indicated by an overbar (e.g., ( \overline{A} )). If ( A = 1 ), then ( \overline{A} = 0 ) and vice versa.

  • Literal: A variable or its complement.

Boolean Addition

  • Boolean addition corresponds to the OR operation.

  • Sum Term: A sum of literals produced by an OR operation.

    • Examples:

      • ( A + B )

      • ( A + B + C )

      • ( A + B + C + D )

  • A sum term is equal to 1 if any of its literals are 1; it is 0 only when all literals are 0.

Example

  • Determining Values for Zero Output: For ( A + B + C + D = 0 ), each variable must be 0.

Page 2: Boolean Multiplication

Boolean Multiplication

  • Corresponds to the AND operation.

  • Product Term: A product of literals produced by an AND operation.

    • Examples:

      • ( AB )

      • ( ABCD )

  • A product term equals 1 only if all literals are 1; it is 0 if at least one literal is 0.

Example

  • Determining Values for One Output: For ( ABCD = 1 ), each variable must equal 1.

Page 3: Laws and Rules of Boolean Algebra

Basic Laws

  • The laws of Boolean algebra parallel those in ordinary algebra: commutative laws, associative laws, and distributive law.

Commutative Laws

  • Addition: ( A + B = B + A ) (order does not matter).

  • Multiplication: ( A \cdot B = B \cdot A )

Associative Laws

  • Addition: ( A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C )

  • Multiplication: ( A \cdot (B \cdot C) = (A \cdot B) \cdot C )

Page 4: Distributive Law

Distributive Law

  • ( A \cdot (B + C) = A \cdot B + A \cdot C )

    • This expresses how to factor out joint variables, e.g., ( AB + AC = A(B + C) )

Page 5: Rules of Boolean Algebra

Expression

Explanation

Rule 1

( A + 0 = A )

ORing with 0 keeps ( A ) the same.

Rule 2

( A + 1 = 1 )

Anything ORed with 1 is 1.

Rule 3

( A \cdot 0 = 0 )

ANDing with 0 results in 0.

Rule 4

( A \cdot 1 = A )

ANDing with 1 keeps ( A ) the same.

Page 8: DeMorgan’s Theorems

Introduction

  • DeMorgan’s Theorems give essential relationships in Boolean algebra, particularly for NAND and NOR gates.

First Theorem

  • The complement of a product is the sum of the complements: ( \overline{XY}= \overline{X} + \overline{Y} \)

Second Theorem

  • The complement of a sum is the product of the complements: ( \overline{X + Y} = \overline{X} \cdot \overline{Y} \)

Page 9: Applying DeMorgan's Theorems

Examples

  • For ( XYZ ): ( \overline{XYZ} = \overline{X} + \overline{Y} + \overline{Z} \)

  • For ( X + Y + Z ): ( \overline{X + Y + Z} = \overline{X} \cdot \overline{Y} \cdot \overline{Z} \)

Page 14: Standard and Canonical Forms of Boolean Expressions

Standard Forms

  • Any Boolean expression can be written in standard forms: Sum-of-Products (SOP) and Product-of-Sums (POS).

Sum-of-Products (SOP)

  • SOP is formed by summing multiple product terms.

  • Examples include ( AB + AC ) and may include Variations as ( A + AB + C )

Page 15: Implementing SOPs

  • To implement SOP expressions, construct the logic gates associated with derived expressions, ensuring they follow the Boolean output logic.

Page 16: Standard SOP Forms

  • Standard SOP forms include every variable in the domain in each term.

Page 17: Converting Product Terms

  • Expand non-standard SOP to standard SOP by multiplying terms by missing variables.

Page 18: Product-of-Sums (POS) Form

Introduction

  • POS expressions result from multiplying sum terms, described as the product of sums with all variable representations.

Page 19: Standard POS Forms

  • Standard POS forms include all variables in each sum term, facilitating logical evaluations.

Page 20: Converting to Standard POS

  • Similar to converting SOP, this involves ensuring all variables are present in each sum term.

Page 21: Examples of Canonical Forms

  • Canonical forms relate to how Boolean expressions can be represented as minterms (SOP) or maxterms (POS).

  • Provide examples using functions expressed in minterms and corresponding complements.
