Karnaugh Map

Image
Karnaugh map also known as kmap which is a method to minimize the Logical or Boolean expression. It can be use to quickly derive minimal expression for a logic function of a few variables. The map is an array of 2 n squares, representing all possible combination of values of n binary variables. It must have at least 2 input and 1 output only you can construct a Karnaugh Map. For example the table When you look at the picture above, you will found that the 4 edge with value 1 have the common NotC and  another is AB  which is the common variables in the ABC & ABNotC. Thus the Logical Expression, F= NotC+AB. Let me show you another example : At the bottom, 4 value 1 share same common variable which is A while the values in NotA NotB C&A NotB C share NotBC. Thus the logical expression is F= A+NotBC. NOTE: One of the important rule which is the step must be same or differ in 1 only. Means that after 00/NotB NotC must be 01/(NotB C) differ is ...
