Question

For the following circuits, put them into Product of Maxterms and Sum of Minterms forms. I do not care which of the two ways I mentioned you use to do it (make a truth table, or manipulate into product of sums/sum of products form). Remember that for complex equations, you may want to evaluate subfunctions first. G = A^OverBar * B * C^OverBar * D + D *C^OverBar (A^OverBar + B^OverBar) + A^OverBar * C(B^OverBar + D^OverBar) + A * B^OverBar * C^OverBar * D F =((A CirclePlus D) * C^OverBar + B) * (A^OverBar *B + C * D^OverBar^OverBar)

Explanation / Answer

a) Given function is

G = A'BC'D + DC'(A'+B') + A'C(B'+D') + AB'C'D

Application of Distributive property

A'BC'D + DC'A' + DC'B' + A'CB' + A'CD' + AB'C'D

Creating Min terms

A'BC'D + DC'A'(B + B') + DC'B'(A + A') + A'CB'(D + D') + A'CD'(B + B') + AB'C'D

Removing redundant terms

A'BC'D + A'BC'D + A'B'C'D + AB'C'D + A'B'C'D + A'B'CD + A'B'CD' + A'BCD' + A'B'CD' + AB'C'D

Sum of Min Terms

G(A,B,C,D) = A'BC'D +  A'B'C'D + AB'C'D + A'B'CD + A'B'CD' + A'BCD'

Above equation is the sum of min terms equation.

Product of max terms could be easily found by taking missing min terms in G and apply complement on that function using demorgan's theorem.

Let the missing min terms are written as the function

X(A,B,C,D) = A'B'C'D' + A'BC'D' + A'BCD + AB'C'D' + AB'CD' + AB'CD + ABC'D' + ABC'D + ABCD' + ABCD

Product of max terms is obtained by complementing the function X.

X'(A,B,C,D) = A'B'C'D' * A'BC'D' * A'BCD * AB'C'D' * AB'CD' + AB'CD + ABC'D' + ABC'D + ABCD' + ABCD

Product of Max Terms

X'(A,B,C,D) = (A+B+C+D) * (A+B'+C+D) * (A+B'+C'+D') * (A'+B+C+D) * (A'+B+C'+D) * (A'+B+C'+D') * (A'+B'+C+D) * (A'+B'+C+D') * (A'+B'+C'+D) * (A'+B'+C'+D')
