Document Summary

Can employ k maps to minimize product-of-sums expressions. Construct k-map with 0 in each cell corresponding to maxterms for which ; leave other cells blank. Write a product term for each circled group of cells. Complement to obtain a product of sums for. Construct k-map with 0 in each cell corresponding to maxterms for which ; leave other. Draw circuit schematic based on minimized product of sums expression cells blank. Circle groups of horizontally or vertically adjacent cells containing 0s. Write a maxterm for each circled group of cells. Draw circuit schematic based on minimized product of sums expression.
