Prime implicants and essential prime impliccants gate. The l1 map shows three product terms, corresponding to three groups of 4cells. Dont care conditions in certain cases some input combinations may never occur, or the output doesnt matter when they do in this case we fill in the truth table kmap with an x. For each output transition, the j and k inputs that will cause the transition to occur are shown.
There are a couple of rules that we use to reduce sop using kmap first we will cover the rules step by step then we will solve problem. Dont cares sometimes the logic output doesnt matter. They can be used as either 0 or 1, based on the adjacent variables in the group. Consider only the dont cares x that are helpful for grouping maximum number of adjacent ones. We simply dont care whether the value of 0 or 1 is assigned to f for a particular minterm. Karnaugh map k map 3 dont care conditions 1 digital electronics15 by sahav singh yadav duration. The dont care conditions are used to replace the empty cell to form a possible grouping of variables. When we dont care if the output is 0 or 1, rather than assigning random outputs, it is best to denote it as dont care.
Thus, from the point of view of finding prime implicants, xs dont cares are treated as 1s. For the love of physics walter lewin may 16, 2011 duration. Now we will remove the variable that changed in the 1st and 2nd pair. We fill grid of kmap with 0s and 1s then solve it by making groups. Use the transition table to design the counter by applying it to each of the flip flops in the counter. Functions of n inputs have 2n possible configurations. When ones in a karnaugh map are not next to each other visually, they can be grouped if they are next to each other by means of. The university of texas at dallas computer science. Dont care conditions in certain cases some of the minterms may never occur or it may not matter what happens if they do in such cases we fill in the karnaugh map with and x meaning dont care when minimizing an x is like a joker x can be 0 or 1 whatever helps best with the minimization eg. Designing with dontcare values in some situations, we dont care about the value of a logic function.
In this case, there should be an output of 0 for both 0010 and 0011. Dont cares in a karnaugh map, or truth table, may be either 1s or 0s, as long as we dont care what the output is for an input condition we never expect to see. What is the significance of the dont care condition in. Dont care conditions may be changed to either a 0 or a 1. Example of the use of a karnaugh map with dont care conditions.
This is helpful if it allows us to form a larger group than would otherwise be. Dont cares can be included to form a larger cube, but not necessary to be completely covered. So, a technique called variable entrant map vem is used to increase the effective size of kmap. Simplifying boolean expression using k map electrical4u. We now look for the cells in which the f s are entered, and see whether they can be used to eliminate any variable or not. Up to this point we have considered logic reduction problems where the input conditions were completely specified. Anyway i will answer thismay be in quora style in kmaps you fill kmaps data with output for different combinations of input.
Variable entrant map vem in digital logic geeksforgeeks. Here kmapping is done with the dont care conditions. In a similar manner, the l2 and l4 maps both produce groups of 4cells with the aid of the dont care cells. Sum of products reduction using karnaugh map boolean.

Kmap can take two forms sum of product sop and product of sum pos according to the need of problem. Minterm solution of k map the following are the steps to obtain simplified minterm solution using kmap. Now we mark the cells in pair set of 2 having value 1. The output f is true if the month represented by the input 0,0,0,0 january, 1011. How to know if a certain number is a dont care in kmap. Check kmap groups against logic equation product terms. The map also includes the three dont care conditions. In this video lecture we will see the dont care condition in karnaugh maps with the help of example. The dont care conditions allow us to replace the empty cell of a kmap to form a grouping of the variables.
Since we dont care what the output, we can use these dont care conditions for logic minimization the output for a dont care condition can be either 0 or 1 we dont care dont care conditions denoted by. We used both dont cares in two of the groups and one dont care on the third group. Maurice karnaugh introduced it in 1953 as a refinement of edward veitchs 1952 veitch chart, which actually was a rediscovery of allan marquands 1881 logical diagram aka marquand diagram but with a focus now set on its utility for switching circuits. The cells that contain dont care conditions are represented by an asterisk symbol among the normal. A dont care condition can be treated as a 0 or a 1 in a kmap. X, d, 2 x is probably the most often used can also be used to denote inputs. If dont care terms also present, then place dont cares x in the respective cells of kmap. Steps to solve expression using kmapselect kmap according to the number of. Here dont care condition also mapped because to make it a higher possibility of mapping i.
Karnaugh maps k maps if m i is a minterm of f, then place a 1 in cell i of the k map. Prerequisite karnaugh map kmap kmap is the best manual technique to solve boolean equations, but it becomes difficult to manage when number of variables exceed 5 or 6. If m i is a maxterm of f, then place a 0 in cell i. Kmaps for productofsum design productofsums design uses the same principles, but applied to the zeros of the function. Difficult to tell when you have arrived at a minimum solution. Dont cares are usually indicated on the map with a dash or x. We plot these cells with an asterisk, among the normal 1 s and 0 s. Therefore, dont care conditions can either be included in or excluded from any rectangular group, whichever makes it larger.
A dont care condition is a combination of inputs for which the designer doesnt care what the output is. The output for a dont care condition can be either 0 or 1 we dont care dont care conditions denoted by. No design or tech skills are necessary its free, easy, and awesome. Karnaughmap simplification using dont care conditions examples of kmap using dont cares. The karnaugh map km or kmap is a method of simplifying boolean algebra expressions. Here, we represent dont care terms by greek letter f, since f may be thought of as a combination of 0 and 1. Namely, if you group a dont care condition with 1s minterms, it becomes a 1. Karnaugh maps also allow easy minimizations of functions whose truth tables include dont care conditions. Select the statement that best describes the use of dont care conditions on a kmap. The algebraic approach we have used previously is also used to analyze complex. A general guideline is to avoid adding dont care xs to verilog rtl as a matter of course and to use good rtl coding practice to avoid some xissues see section 7.
However, 5 and 6 variable kmap is a little bit complex. The karnaugh map uses the following rules for the simplification of expressions by grouping together adjacent cells containing ones. Karnaugh maps kmaps if m i is a minterm of f, then place a 1 in cell i of the kmap. Powtoon gives you everything you need to easily make professional videos and presentations that your clients, colleagues, and friends will love. K map is basically known to be a different method for the representation of truth table. Looking at the kmap we can tell pair m 5,m 7 is redundant as m 5 is covered in quad m 0, m 1, m 4, m 5 and m 7 is covered in pair m 7, m 15 so we will remove the pair m 5,m 7. Product of sums reduction using karnaugh map boolean.
Karnaugh map usually abbreviated as kmap is a systematic approach used for simplifying boolean expressions or logic functions. We plot these cells with an asterisk, among the normal 1s and 0s. The karnaugh map k map according to the variables involved can be either 1, 2, 3. Kmap is directly applied to twolevel networks composed of and and or gates. Dont care conditions a dont care condition, marked by x in the truth table, indicates a condition where the design doesnt care if the output is a 0 or a 1. It allows a smaller map to handle large number of variables. Dont care x should also be included while grouping to make a larger possible group. Karnaugh map kmap can be used to minimize functions of up to 6 variables. When you map the resulting truth table and perform appropriate grouping either 1s or 0s, you effectively establish what the dont care outputs will be.
Initiate express the given expression in its canonical form step 2. Optimized implementation of logic functions sections 4. Now we will write down the marked groups and find the reduced expression. Reading assignment please use chapter titles since chapter numbers vary by edition chapter 4. Dont care conditions are represented by x in the kmap variable.
Groups may be horizontal or vertical, but not diagonal. Dont care cells in the karnaugh map karnaugh mapping. In this we will learn to reduce sum of products sop using karnaugh map. Dontcare values in a karnaugh map relate to output that is generally not reachable under normal circumstances and allow you to simplify the logic more than you would normally be able to. A kmap is a truth table graph, which aids in visually simplifying logic. A prime implicant is a rectangle of 1, 2, 4, 8, 1s or xs not included in any one larger rectangle. This of course is also true for dont care conditions and grouping with 0s max terms. If you learn how to use the dont cares, you will be able to build even more efficient circuits than without them. Kmap simplification using dont care conditions functions that have unspecified output for some input combinations are called incompletely specified functions. If d i is a dont care of f, then place a d or x in cell i. It is useful for up to 5 or 6 variables, and is a good tool to help understand the process of logic simplification.
