Kmaps

Note: Since our assignments and exams are open-book, you won't be asked to encircle the groups of $1$ yourself: you will be asked to use a specific tool, like the one at https://madformath.com/calculators/digital-systems/karnaugh-maps/karnaugh-map-solver to complete steps $3$ and $4$ of the method we described on slide 50.

You will, however, need to:

  1. Decide which Kmap to use (based on the number of variables.)
  2. Populate the Kmap according to the given truth table.
  3. Enter the info of that Kmap into the online tool, which will encircle the groups of $1$ and output the sum-of-products expression for you.
  4. Rename the variables in the expression from $A$, $B$, $C$ back to $x$, $y$, and $z$.
