Minterm groups must be rectangular and must have an area that is a power of two ( i . e ., 1, 2, 4, 8 & ).
12.
The construction of DIMS logic gates comprises generating every possible minterm using a row of C-elements and then gathering the outputs of these using OR gates which generate the true and false output signals.
13.
The MINTERM is lightweight, low-power, single channel, half-duplex, narrowband / wideband / wireline terminal providing secure voice and data communications with full key distribution and remote rekey capabilities.
14.
There are 2 " n " minterms of " n " variables, since a variable in the minterm expression can be in either its direct or its complemented form two choices per variable.
15.
If you have PLA-like minterms, you have the choice of inverting or non-inverting inputs to the AND gates, so each minterm can do an exact match on the prime that it is programmed for.
16.
:" Technically, the propositional function has been reduced to its ( unminimized ) conjunctive normal form : each row has its minterm expression and these can be OR'd to produce the formula in its ( unminimized ) conjunctive normal form ."
17.
Each minterm can be found on the Hasse diagram, on the Veitch diagram, and on the Karnaugh map . ( The evaluations of " p " shown in the truth table are not shown in the Hasse, Veitch and Karnaugh diagrams; these are shown in the Karnaugh map of the following section . ) 2 = 2 10.

:: I don't think it's as obvious as you make it sound . . each minterm is a conjunction of 4 bits, so if you were to just do the sum-of-products as you said, that'd be 6 + 18, 24 gates if you only used two input gates.
19.
In the minterm example above, we wrote u ( ci, x, y ) = m _ 1 + m _ 2 + m _ 4 + m _ 7 but to perform this with a 4-input NOR gate we need to restate it as a product of sums ( PoS ), where the sums are the opposite maxterms.
