A minterm is a product (AND operation) of all variables in a Boolean function, either in their true or complemented form, which evaluates to 1 for exactly one combination of inputs. The sum of minterms representation (Sum of Products, SOP) expresses a Boolean function as the OR of all minterms where the function is 1.
Problem Statement
Morris Mano End Problems Solution:
To find the minterms of a Boolean function, we follow these steps:
- Plot the function in a Karnaugh Map (K-map)
- Identify the minterms (cells with ‘1’)
- Express the function as a sum of minterms
Find the minterms of the following Boolean expressions by first plotting each function in a map F=xy+yz+xy’z
F=C’D+ABC’+ABD’+ A’B’D
F=wxy+x’z’+w’xz
