Understanding Boolean Algebra and Logic Gates in Digital Logic Design

This chapter dives into the essentials of Boolean algebra and the fundamentals of logic gates in digital logic design. It covers key concepts, including binary operators (AND, OR, NOT) and their respective truth values, along with the application of Boolean algebra principles such as commutative, associative, and distributive laws. The section also discusses canonical forms, truth tables, and the significance of DeMorgan’s Theorem. This foundational knowledge is crucial for simplifying Boolean functions and designing effective digital circuits.

  1. Chapter 2: 4241 - Digital Logic Design Boolean Algebra and Logic Gates

  2. Basic Definitions • Binary Operators • AND z = x • y = x y z=1if x=1AND y=1 • OR z = x + y z=1if x=1OR y=1 • NOT z = x = x’ z=1if x=0 • Boolean Algebra • Binary Variables: only ‘0’ and ‘1’ values • Algebraic Manipulation

  3. Boolean Algebra Postulates • Commutative Law x • y = y • xx + y = y + x • Identity Element x • 1 = xx + 0 = x • Complement x • x’ = 0 x + x’ = 1

  4. Boolean Algebra Theorems • Duality • The dual of a Boolean algebraic expression is obtained by interchanging the AND and the OR operators and replacing the 1’s by 0’s and the 0’s by 1’s. • x • ( y + z ) = ( x • y ) + ( x • z ) • x + ( y • z ) = ( x + y ) • ( x + z ) • Theorem 1 • x • x = xx + x = x • Theorem 2 • x • 0 = 0 x + 1 = 1 Applied to a valid equation produces a valid equation

  5. Boolean Algebra Theorems • Theorem 3: Involution • ( x’ )’ = x ( x ) = x • Theorem 4: Associative & Distributive • ( x • y ) • z = x • ( y • z ) ( x + y ) + z = x + ( y + z ) • x • ( y + z ) = ( x • y ) + ( x • z ) x + ( y • z ) = ( x + y ) • ( x + z ) • Theorem 5: DeMorgan • ( x • y )’ = x’ + y’ ( x + y )’ = x’ • y’ • ( x • y ) = x + y ( x + y ) = x • y • Theorem 6: Absorption • x • ( x + y ) = xx + ( x • y ) = x

  6. Operator Precedence • Parentheses ( . . . ) • ( . . .) • NOT x’ + y • AND x + x•y • OR

  7. DeMorgan’s Theorem

  8. Boolean Functions • Boolean Expression Example: F = x + y’z • Truth Table All possible combinationsof input variables • Logic Circuit

  9. Algebraic Manipulation • Literal: A single variable within a term that may be complemented or not. • Use Boolean Algebra to simplify Boolean functions to produce simpler circuits Example: Simplify to a minimum number of literals F = x + x’ y ( 3Literals) = x + ( x’ y ) = ( x + x’ ) ( x + y ) = ( 1 ) ( x + y ) = x + y( 2Literals) Distributive law (+ over •)

  10. Complement of a Function • DeMorgan’s Theorm • Duality & Literal Complement

  11. Canonical Forms • Minterm • Product (AND function) • Contains all variables • Evaluates to ‘1’ for aspecific combination Example A = 0 ABC B = 0 (0) • (0) • (0) C = 0 1 • 1 • 1 = 1

  12. Canonical Forms • Maxterm • Sum (OR function) • Contains all variables • Evaluates to ‘0’ for aspecific combination Example A = 1 ABC B = 1 (1) + (1) + (1) C = 1 0+0+0 = 0

  13. Canonical Forms • Truth Table to Boolean Function

  14. Canonical Forms • Sum of Minterms • Product of Maxterms

  15. Standard Forms • Sum of Products (SOP)

  16. Standard Forms • Product of Sums (POS)

  17. Two-Level Implementations • Sum of Products (SOP) • Product of Sums (POS)

  18. Logic Operators • AND • NAND (NotAND)

  19. Logic Operators • OR • NOR (NotOR)

  20. Logic Operators • XOR (Exclusive-OR) • XNOR (Exclusive-NOR) (Equivalence)

  21. Logic Operators • NOT (Inverter) • Buffer
