CIRCUIT SIMPLIFICATION & SIMULATION
OBJECTIVES:
1. To construct circuit diagrams from the given Boolean expressions.
2. To simulate and compare the output of the unsimplified and simplified Boolean
expressions.
DISCUSSION:
The following are the laws/theorems of Boolean algebra:
o (x + y) (x + z) = x + y z
o x + x’ y = x + y
Examples:
1) H = K L’ + K Let x = K, let y =
L’:
H=x+xy=x
= K +K L’ = K /Absorption Theorem/
6) W = U’ + U V’
Let x = U’, let y = V’:
W = x + x’ y = x + y = U’ + V’ /Multivariable Theorem/
7) P = Q R’ S + (Q’ + R + S’) T
P = Q R’ S + (Q R’ S)’ T /DeMorgan’s Theorem/
Let x = Q R’ S, let y = T:
P = x + x’ y = x + y = Q R’ S + T /Multivariable Theorem/
8) J = K’ M’ (K’ + L + M) + K M
Let x = KM, let y = (K’ + L + M):
J = x + x’ y = x + y = K M + K’ + L + M /Multivariable Theorem/
= K’ + L + (M + K M) /Associative Theorem/
= K’ + L + M /Absorption Theorem/
SIMULATION:
I. Use the rules of Boolean algebra to simplify the following expressions:
a. M = P Q + P Q’
b. S = (T’ + U’) V + (T + U)
c. P = (Q’ R’ + S T) (Q’ R’ + Q)
d. U = (X + Y’ + W’ Z) (W Y + Y + W’ Z)
e. Y = (A’ + B + D’) A C + A B’ D
II. Using Circuit Wizard, construct the circuit diagram of the unsimplified and simplified
Boolean expressions above. (Attach the screenshots and .cwz file of your simulations.)
