SOP FORM

1. 3 variables K-map:
Z = ∑P, Q, R (1, 3, 6, 7)

From the red group, the product term would be —


P’R
From the green group, the product term would be —
PQ
If we sum these product terms, then we will get this final expression (P’R + PQ)

2. 4 variables K-map:
F (A, B, C, D) = ∑(0, 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15)
From the red group, the product term would be —
BD
From the lilac group, the product term would be —
B’D’
If we sum these product terms, then we will get this final expression (BD + B’D’)

POS FORM
1. 3 variables K-map
F (P, Q, R) = π(0,3,6,7)

From the lilac group, the terms would be


PQ
If we take the complement of these two
P’ Q’
And then sum up them
(P’ + Q’)
From the blue group, the terms would be
BR
When we take the complement of these terms
B’ R’
And then sum them up
(B’ + R’)
From the red group, the terms would be
P’ Q’ R’
If we take the complement of the two terms
PQR
And then sum them up
(P + Q + R)
If we take the product of these three terms, then we will get this final expression –
(P’ + Q’) (P’ + R’) (P + Q + R)

2. 4 variables K-map
F (P, Q, R, S) = π (3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13)

From the blue group, the terms would be


R’ S Q
We take their complement and then sum them
(R + S’+ Q’)
From the purple group, the terms would be
R S P’
We take their complement and then sum them
(R’ + S’+ P) S
From the red group, the terms would be
P R’ S’
We take their complement and then sum them
(P’ + R + S)
From the lilac group, the terms would be
P Q’ R
We take their complement and then sum them
(P’ + Q + R’)
Finally, we will express these in the form of the product –
(R + S’+ Q’).(R’ + S’+A).(P’+ R + S).(P’+ Q + R’)
Pitfall – Always remember that POS ≠ (SOP)’
*Here, the correct form would be (POS of F) = (SOP of F’)’
