Karnaugh Maps
The Karnaugh map (KM or K-map) is a method of simplifying Boolean algebra expressions. Maurice Karnaugh introduced it in 1953 as a refinement of Edward W. Veitch's 1952 Veitch chart, which was a rediscovery of Allan Marquand's 1881 ''logical diagram'' aka Marquand diagram but with a focus now set on its utility for switching circuits. Veitch charts are also known as Marquand–Veitch diagrams or, rarely, as Svoboda charts, and Karnaugh maps as Karnaugh–Veitch maps (KV maps). The Karnaugh map reduces the need for extensive calculations by taking advantage of humans' pattern-recognition capability. It also permits the rapid identification and elimination of potential race conditions. The required Boolean results are transferred from a truth table onto a two-dimensional grid where, in Karnaugh maps, the cells are ordered in Gray code, and each cell position represents one combination of input conditions. Cells are also known as minterms, while each cell value represents the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Antonín Svoboda (computer Scientist)
Antonín Svoboda (14 October 1907 – 18 May 1980) was a Czech computer scientist, mathematician, electrical engineer, and researcher. He is credited with originating the design of fault-tolerant computer systems, and with the creation of SAPO, the first Czech computer design. Early life Svoboda was born in Prague in 1907. Attending a series of schools, he studied at the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), from where he graduated in 1931. In that same year, he traveled to England briefly to study physics, but returned to Czechoslovakia to conduct research and study under Václav Dolejšek, who made very significant discoveries in X-ray spectrography. Professional career Svoboda and Dolejšek worked together on several projects, including X-rays and other astronomy-related aspects, but the rapidly rising specter of what was occurring in Germany, set against the backdrop of the economic collapse during his time, mad ...

Consensus Theorem
In Boolean algebra, the consensus theorem or rule of consensus is the identity: :xy \vee \barz \vee yz = xy \vee \barz The consensus or resolvent of the terms xy and \barz is yz. It is the conjunction of all the unique literals of the terms, excluding the literal that appears unnegated in one term and negated in the other. If y includes a term which is negated in z (or vice versa), the consensus term yz is false; in other words, there is no consensus term. The conjunctive dual of this equation is: :(x \vee y)(\bar \vee z)(y \vee z) = (x \vee y)(\bar \vee z) Proof : \begin xy \vee \barz \vee yz &= xy \vee \barz \vee (x \vee \bar)yz \\ &= xy \vee \barz \vee xyz \vee \baryz \\ &= (xy \vee xyz) \vee (\barz \vee \baryz) \\ &= xy(1\vee z)\vee\barz(1\vee y) \\ &= xy \vee \barz \end Consensus The consensus or consensus term of two conjunctive terms of a disjunction is defined when one term contains the literal ...

Logic Redundancy
Logic redundancy occurs in a digital gate network containing circuitry that does not affect the static logic function. There are several reasons why logic redundancy may exist. One reason is that it may have been added deliberately to suppress transient glitches (thus causing a race condition) in the output signals by having two or more product terms overlap with a third one. Consider the following equation: : Y = A B + \overline C + B C. The third product term BC is a redundant consensus term. If A switches from 1 to 0 while B = 1 and C = 1, Y remains 1. During the transition of signal A in logic gates, both the first and second term may be 0 momentarily. The third term prevents a glitch since its value of 1 in this case is not affected by the transition of signal A. Another reason for logic redundancy is poor design practices which unintentionally result in logically redundant terms. This causes an unnecessary increase in network complexity, and possibly hampering the abili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Don't-care (logic)
In digital logic, a don't-care term (abbreviated DC, historically also known as ''redundancies'', ''irrelevancies'', ''optional entries'', ''invalid combinations'', ''vacuous combinations'', ''forbidden combinations'', ''unused states'' or ''logical remainders'') for a function is an input-sequence (a series of bits) for which the function output does not matter. An input that is known never to occur is a can't-happen term. Both these types of conditions are treated the same way in logic design and may be referred to collectively as ''don't-care conditions'' for brevity. The designer of a logic circuit to implement the function need not care about such inputs, but can choose the circuit's output arbitrarily, usually such that the simplest circuit results ( minimization). Don't-care terms are important to consider in minimizing logic circuit design, including graphical methods like Karnaugh–Veitch maps and algebraic methods such as the Quine–McCluskey algorithm.

Product Of Sums
In Boolean algebra, any Boolean function can be expressed in the canonical disjunctive normal form ( CDNF) or minterm canonical form and its dual canonical conjunctive normal form ( CCNF) or maxterm canonical form. Other canonical forms include the complete sum of prime implicants or Blake canonical form (and its dual), and the algebraic normal form (also called Zhegalkin or Reed–Muller). ''Minterms'' are called products because they are the logical AND of a set of variables, and ''maxterms'' are called sums because they are the logical OR In logic, disjunction is a logical connective typically notated as \lor and read aloud as "or". For instance, the English language sentence "it is raining or it is snowing" can be represented in logic using the disjunctive formula R \lor S ... of a set of variables. These concepts are dual because of their complementary-symmetry relationship as expressed by De Morgan's laws. Two dual canonical forms of ''any'' Boolean function ar ...

De Morgan's Laws
In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, also known as De Morgan's theorem, are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference. They are named after Augustus De Morgan, a 19th-century British mathematician. The rules allow the expression of conjunctions and disjunctions purely in terms of each other via negation. The rules can be expressed in English as: * The negation of a disjunction is the conjunction of the negations * The negation of a conjunction is the disjunction of the negations or * The complement of the union of two sets is the same as the intersection of their complements * The complement of the intersection of two sets is the same as the union of their complements or * not (A or B) = (not A) and (not B) * not (A and B) = (not A) or (not B) where "A or B" is an "inclusive or" meaning ''at least'' one of A or B rather than an "exclusive or" that means ''exactly'' one of A or B.
