| 1. | Karnaugh maps are used to facilitate the simplification of Boolean algebra functions.
|
| 2. | The Karnaugh map is therefore arranged in a 4 ?4 grid.
|
| 3. | Adjacent 1s in the Karnaugh map represent opportunities to simplify the expression.
|
| 4. | Karnaugh maps are useful for detecting and eliminating race conditions.
|
| 5. | Steps in the reduction using a Karnaugh map.
|
| 6. | The following are all the possible 2-variable, 2 ?2 Karnaugh maps.
|
| 7. | The Karnaugh map reduces the need for extensive calculations by taking advantage of humans'pattern-recognition capability.
|
| 8. | Karnaugh maps also allow easy minimizations of functions whose truth tables include " don't care " conditions.
|
| 9. | Minimizing Boolean functions by hand using the classical Karnaugh maps is a laborious, tedious and error prone process.
|
| 10. | Hence logic minimization was for the most part limited to the use of Karnaugh Maps and DeMorgan's Law.
