Math Problem Statement
Draw the combinational circuit that directly implements the Boolean expression: F(x, y, z) = xyz + (y′ + z)
Solution
To draw the combinational circuit that directly implements the Boolean expression , we break it down into basic logic gates.
Step-by-step procedure:
-
AND gate:
- The first term is , which represents an AND operation between , , and . Use a 3-input AND gate for this.
-
NOT gate:
- The second part of the expression involves , which is the negation of . Use a NOT gate to invert .
-
OR gate:
- After negating , we add it to using an OR gate to implement .
-
Final OR gate:
- Now, the result of the AND gate and the OR gate are added together using another OR gate, giving the final output .
Circuit structure:
- Input: , , and
- 1st AND Gate: Inputs , , and , output =
- NOT Gate: Input , output =
- 1st OR Gate: Inputs and , output =
- 2nd OR Gate: Inputs and , output =
Visualizing the circuit:
- Draw three input lines labeled , , and .
- Connect , , and to a 3-input AND gate.
- Place a NOT gate on 's line to produce .
- Connect and to a 2-input OR gate.
- Finally, use a 2-input OR gate to combine the output of the AND gate and the OR gate to produce .
