The MAP Method

• The complexity of the digital logic gates is directly


related to the complexity of the algebraic expression.
• The map method provides a simple, straightforward
procedure for minimizing Boolean functions.
• This method is regarded as a pictorial form of a truth
table.
• The map method is also known as the Karnaugh map or
K-map .

Karnaugh maps
• 4 variables Karnaugh map
Karnaugh maps
• The Karnaugh map is completed by entering a '1‘(or
‘0’) in each of the appropriate cells.
• Within the map, adjacent cells containing 1's (or 0’s)
are grouped together in twos, fours, or eights.

Kmap Simplification
The rules of Kmap simplification are:
• Groupings can contain only 1s; no 0s.
• Groups can be formed only at right angles;
diagonal groups are not allowed.
• The number of 1s in a group must be a power of
2 – even if it contains a single 1.
• The groups must be made as large as possible.
• Groups can overlap and wrap around the sides
of the Kmap.

Example
2-variable Karnaugh maps are trivial but can be used to introduce
the methods you need to learn. The map for a 2-input OR gate
looks like this:
A
0 1
A B
Y 0 1
B
A
1 1 1
A B Y
0 0 0
B
0 1 1
1 0 1
A+B
1 1 1
