The document outlines the process of converting a six-variable Boolean function into canonical sum-of-minterms form and simplifying it using a Karnaugh Map (K-Map). It details the steps including identifying minterms, representing them in a K-Map, and grouping for simplification. The final simplified expression is presented as F(a,b,c,d,e,f) = a'b'c'd' + a'bc'd + ab'c'd'e'f.

Q: Consider a Six (06) variable Boolean Function as given below, you are required to convert this
expression into canonical sum and then simplify it using K-Map.

𝑭𝑭(𝒂𝒂, 𝒃𝒃, 𝒄𝒄, 𝒅𝒅, 𝒆𝒆, 𝒇𝒇) = 𝒂𝒂′ 𝒃𝒃′ 𝒄𝒄′ 𝒅𝒅′ 𝒆𝒆′ 𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂′ 𝒃𝒃′ 𝒄𝒄′ 𝒅𝒅′ 𝒆𝒆 𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂′
𝒃𝒃′ 𝒄𝒄′ 𝒅𝒅 𝒆𝒆′ 𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂′ 𝒃𝒃′ 𝒄𝒄′ 𝒅𝒅 𝒆𝒆 𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂′𝒃𝒃 𝒄𝒄′𝒅𝒅′𝒆𝒆′𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂′𝒃𝒃 𝒄𝒄′𝒅𝒅′𝒆𝒆
𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂′𝒃𝒃 𝒄𝒄′𝒅𝒅 𝒆𝒆′𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂′𝒃𝒃 𝒄𝒄′𝒅𝒅 𝒆𝒆 𝒇𝒇 + 𝒂𝒂 𝒃𝒃′𝒄𝒄′𝒅𝒅′𝒆𝒆′𝒇𝒇 +

Answer:

Objective

To express a six-variable Boolean function in canonical sum-of-minterms form and then simplify
it using the Karnaugh Map (K-Map) method.

Given Boolean Expression

F(a,b,c,d,e,f)= a′b′c′d′e′f+a′b′c′d′ef+a′b′c′de′f+a′b′c′def+a′bc′d′e′f+a′bc′d′ef+a′bc′de′f+a′bc′def+ab
′c′d′e′f+…\begin{aligned} F(a, b, c, d, e, f) =\ &a'b'c'd'e'f + a'b'c'd'ef + a'b'c'de'f + a'b'c'def + \\
&a'bc'd'e'f + a'bc'd'ef + a'bc'de'f + a'bc'def + ab'c'd'e'f + \dots \end{aligned}F(a,b,c,d,e,f)= a′b′c′d
′e′f+a′b′c′d′ef+a′b′c′de′f+a′b′c′def+a′bc′d′e′f+a′bc′d′ef+a′bc′de′f+a′bc′def+ab′c′d′e′f+…

Step 1: Converting to Canonical Sum

Each term in the Boolean function represents a minterm, where:

 '0' indicates a complemented variable (e.g., a' becomes 0),


 '1' indicates a normal variable (e.g., a becomes 1).

These are then written in binary to identify their corresponding minterm number.

Boolean Term Binary Form Minterm No.


a'b'c'd'e'f 000000 0
a'b'c'd'ef 000001 1
a'b'c'de'f 000010 2
a'b'c'def 000011 3
Boolean Term Binary Form Minterm No.
a'bc'd'e'f 001000 8
a'bc'd'ef 001001 9
a'bc'de'f 001010 10
a'bc'def 001011 11
ab'c'd'e'f 100000 32

So, the function in canonical minterm form is:

F(a,b,c,d,e,f)=∑m(0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,32)F(a, b, c, d, e, f) = \sum m(0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11,


32)F(a,b,c,d,e,f)=∑m(0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,32)

Step 2: K-Map Representation

A Karnaugh Map for six variables contains 64 cells (since 26=642^6 = 6426=64). Each minterm
corresponds to a cell in the map. We mark cells for minterms:

0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,320, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 320,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,32

(A diagram of the 6-variable K-map can be drawn here showing the placement of 1s in these
positions.)

Step 3: Grouping and Simplification

By analyzing the K-map, we combine adjacent 1s into groups (powers of 2) to minimize the
expression. Example groupings:

 Group 1: Minterms 0, 1, 2, 3
→ Common variables: a'b'c'd'
 Group 2: Minterms 8, 9, 10, 11
→ Common variables: a'bc'd
 Group 3: Minterm 32 (standalone)
→ Expression: ab'c'd'e'f

Final Simplified Expression

F(a,b,c,d,e,f)=a′b′c′d′+a′bc′d+ab′c′d′e′fF(a, b, c, d, e, f) = a'b'c'd' + a'bc'd +


ab'c'd'e'fF(a,b,c,d,e,f)=a′b′c′d′+a′bc′d+ab′c′d′e′f
Conclusion

This task involved translating a Boolean function into canonical minterm format and simplifying
it using a Karnaugh Map. The result is a simplified logic expression that uses fewer terms and is
more efficient for implementation.
