Math Problem Statement

draw the circuit diagram for A¬\lnotB+A¬C+B¬C\lnot C+B\lnot C

Solution

The Boolean expression you provided is: A¬B+A¬C+B¬CA \lnot B + A \lnot C + B \lnot C. To convert this into a logic circuit, we can follow these steps:

1. Break down the expression into individual terms:

  • The first term is A¬BA \lnot B, which is the AND operation between AA and the NOT of BB.
  • The second term is A¬CA \lnot C, which is the AND operation between AA and the NOT of CC.
  • The third term is B¬CB \lnot C, which is the AND operation between BB and the NOT of CC.

2. Combine using OR gates:

  • The final expression A¬B+A¬C+B¬CA \lnot B + A \lnot C + B \lnot C is an OR operation between the three terms.

Components Needed:

  • AND gates: One for each term (three in total).
  • NOT gates: To negate BB and CC.
  • OR gate: To combine the results of the AND gates.

Steps for Drawing the Circuit:

  1. NOT gates:

    • Input BB into a NOT gate to produce ¬B\lnot B.
    • Input CC into a NOT gate to produce ¬C\lnot C.
  2. AND gates:

    • First AND gate: Takes AA and ¬B\lnot B as inputs.
    • Second AND gate: Takes AA and ¬C\lnot C as inputs.
    • Third AND gate: Takes BB and ¬C\lnot C as inputs.
  3. OR gate:

    • Combine the outputs of the three AND gates using an OR gate.

Now, I'll summarize this into a circuit diagram description:

  1. NOT gates: BB goes to a NOT gate for ¬B\lnot B, and CC goes to a NOT gate for ¬C\lnot C.
  2. AND gates:
    • The first AND gate has inputs AA and ¬B\lnot B.
    • The second AND gate has inputs AA and ¬C\lnot C.
    • The third AND gate has inputs BB and ¬C\lnot C.
  3. OR gate: The three AND gate outputs are connected to an OR gate.
