SUM OF PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTS OF SUMS
MINTERM
➢ For a function of n variables, a product term in which each of the n
variables appears once is called a minterm.
➢ The variables may appear in a minterm either in uncomplemented or
complemented form.

SUM OF PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTS OF SUMS
MINTERM
➢ The figure shows all minterms for the three-variable table. For
example, in the first row the variables have the values 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 = 𝑥3 = 0
which leads to the minterm 𝑥1 ´𝑥2 ´𝑥3 ´ In the second row 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 =
0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥3 = 1 , which gives the minterm 𝑥1 ´𝑥2 ´𝑥3 , and so on.

SUM OF PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTS OF SUMS
MINTERM
➢ We will use the notation 𝑚𝑖 to denote the minterm for row number i.
Thus 𝑚0 = 𝑥1 ´𝑥2 ´𝑥3 ´ , 𝑚1 = 𝑥1 ´𝑥2 ´𝑥3 , and so on.

MAXTERM
➢ The complement of minterm are called maxterm.

KARNAUGH MAP
KARNAUGH MAP
➢ For minimizing logic expressions we used rules, theorems, and properties
of Boolean algebra. For example, we often used the distributive property,
DE Morgan's theorem, and the combining property.
➢ This section introduces a more manageable approach, call the Karnaugh
map, which provides a systematic way of producing a minimum-cost logic
expression.
