Describe the methods used to calculate values in logical expressions.

Description should include

  • truth tables
  • Boolean rules
  • DeMorgan’s theorem
  • minimizing circuits
  • NAND/NOR gates
  • NAND and NOR logic equivalent circuits
  • Karnaugh mapping:
    • two input
    • three input
    • four input
    • "don’t care" states.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How do Boolean rules apply to the calculation of values in a logic circuit?
  • How and when is De Morgan’s theorem used?
  • How are logic equivalent circuits developed?
