Karnaugh Map

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 2n 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 1,after 01/( NotB C)  then must be 11/BC since differ also is 1 and last after 11/BC is 10/(BNotC) which differ also is 1.
    • The K-map must be skecth in the fixed way like the picture about.
  • Another Rule that the combination or common variable must only follow these two rule
    • Combine Horizontal or Vertical online
    • the values must be in  2n  only.

Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

Image
The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word ...

Reading & Writing Operation of DRAM

Image
In Dynamic Random Access Memory CELL , transistor acts as a switch to Close (allowing current to flow) when voltage applied in address line or Open (no current flow) when no voltage applied in address line.Address Line also known as word line .Which use to signal the transistor to close or open. During the Write operation ,a voltage is applied on the bit line and a signal applied to the address line to close the transistor.Then the voltage applied on the bit line will transfer to capacitor and store in the capacitor However the capacitor has tendency to discharge and has to refresh to maintain the bit. While in Reading Operation ,the instruction find the bit store using the address line to read the data or bit. When the address line is selected ,the transistor turns on and the charge stored on the capacitor is fled out onto a bit line and to sense amplifier. Sense amplifiers compare the capacitor voltage to reference value to determine the logic 1 or logic 0.The read out from ...

Method to Convert from Stream to Json C#

Recently I was using the C# HttpClient to make REST request but I found that is was quite troublesome so I have changed to using HttpWebRequest instead. So want the HttpWebRequest result is return it was in Stream form. I not able to convert it into Json. this is the method i convert the stream to JSON. HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse ) requirejs . GetResponse (); Stream stream = response . GetResponseStream (); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( stream ); var serializer = new System . Web . Script . Serialization . JavaScriptSerializer (); var jsonObject = serializer . DeserializeObject ( sr . ReadToEnd ()); As you can see that jsonObject is an object. Now you can parse it into the Json(JsonObject); If you have any question can leave a comment below.
