Math Problem Statement

draw a logic circuit for AB‘C+BC+AB‘C

Solution

To design a logic circuit for the given expression ABC+BC+ABCAB'C + BC + AB'C, we first simplify it:

  1. The expression is: ABC+BC+ABCAB'C + BC + AB'C
  2. Notice that ABCAB'C appears twice. We can simplify the expression to: ABC+BCAB'C + BC

This is the simplified Boolean expression. Now let's break it down:

  • ABCAB'C consists of three variables where AA and CC are ANDed with the complement of BB.
  • BCBC is a simple AND gate between BB and CC.

Steps to design the logic circuit:

  1. AND Gates:

    • One AND gate for ABCAB'C: Input AA, BB' (complement of BB), and CC.
    • Another AND gate for BCBC: Input BB and CC.
  2. OR Gate:

    • The output of both AND gates will feed into an OR gate to produce the final output.

Now, I'll describe the layout for the circuit:

  • Inputs: Three inputs AA, BB, and CC.
  • NOT Gate: The input BB passes through a NOT gate to create BB' for the ABCAB'C term.
  • AND Gate 1: Takes AA, BB', and CC as inputs and outputs ABCAB'C.
  • AND Gate 2: Takes BB and CC as inputs and outputs BCBC.
  • OR Gate: Combines the outputs of both AND gates to get the final output ABC+BCAB'C + BC.

Tip: When simplifying Boolean expressions, always look for common terms to reduce redundancy and optimize the logic circuit.
