Boolean functions represent logical operations performing AND, OR, NOT basic operations combined to form complex logical expressions
Digital circuits implement Boolean functions translating inputs and outputs to binary values (0 or 1) with logic gates physically realizing Boolean operations
Truth tables describe Boolean function behavior showing all possible input combinations and corresponding outputs
provides mathematical framework for analyzing Boolean functions enabling manipulation and simplification of logical expressions
Design of basic logic gates
AND gate outputs 1 only when all inputs are 1, expressed as F=A⋅B
OR gate outputs 1 when at least one input is 1, expressed as F=A+B
NOT gate inverts the input, expressed as F=A
combines AND and NOT operations, expressed as F=A⋅B
combines OR and NOT operations, expressed as F=A+B
outputs 1 when inputs are different, expressed as F=A⊕B=AB+AB
Boolean Function Simplification and Circuit Construction
Simplification of Boolean functions
Boolean algebra laws include commutative (A+B=B+A, A⋅B=B⋅A), associative ((A+B)+C=A+(B+C), (A⋅B)⋅C=A⋅(B⋅C)), and distributive (A⋅(B+C)=A⋅B+A⋅C, A+(B⋅C)=(A+B)⋅(A+C))
Identity and complement laws state A+0=A, A⋅1=A, A+A=1, A⋅A=0
