CSCC-102 Digital Logic and Design

Assignment: Digital Logic Design – Boolean Algebra and Logic Simplification

Due: June 24, 2024, by 11:59 pm


Submitting: Report (3-5 pages of text plus images (where needed))
File Types: Doc, Docx, and PDF
Format: SIGCHI format (attached)

Objective:
The purpose of this assignment is to enhance your understanding of Boolean algebra expressions,
focusing on Sum of Products (SOP), Product of Sums (POS), Minterms and Maxterms, and logic
simplification. You will also practice translating these expressions into digital circuits.

Task 1: Using Boolean algebra, simplify the following expressions


1. 𝐵̅ 𝐶̅ 𝐷 + (𝐴+𝐵
̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
+ 𝐶 ) + 𝐵̅𝐶̅ 𝐷 ̅𝐸
2. 𝐵𝐶𝐷[𝐵𝐶 + 𝐷 ̅ (𝐶𝐷 + 𝐵𝐷 )]

Task 2: Convert the following expressions to sum-of-product (SOP) forms


1. 𝐴(𝐴𝐷 ̅ + C)
2. 𝐵 + 𝐶[𝐵𝐷 + (𝐶 + 𝐷 ̅ )𝐸]
 Convert each SOP expression above to standard SOP form.
 Determine the binary value of each term in the standard SOP expressions
 Convert each standard SOP expression to standard POS form.
 Draw the digital circuit representing the simplified SOP expression

Task 3:
a) Develop a truth table for each of the SOP expressions:
𝑋̅ + 𝑌𝑍̅ + 𝑊𝑍 + 𝑋𝑌̅𝑍]
b) Develop a truth table for each of the standard POS expressions:
(𝐴 + 𝐵̅ + 𝐶 + 𝐷 )( 𝐴̅ + 𝐵 + ̅𝐶 + 𝐷)(𝐴 + 𝐵 + 𝐶̅ + 𝐷 ̅ )(𝐴̅ + 𝐵̅ + 𝐶 + 𝐷)]

Task 4: For each truth table, derive a standard SOP and a standard POS expression.

Submission Guidelines:
 Provide detailed steps of your simplification process for each task.
 Ensure that the circuits are clearly drawn with all inputs, outputs, gates, and connections
labeled.
 Submit your assignment in a PDF format with all sections clearly organized and legible.

Evaluation Criteria:
 Correctness of the Boolean expressions and simplification.
 Accuracy and neatness of the digital circuit diagrams.
 Ability to demonstrate the conversion between different forms of Boolean expressions.
 Clarity and precision in the explanation of the simplification process.

Good luck with your assignment!
