QUESTION 2
Simplifying logic circuit using Boolean Theorems

Procedure

1. Given a Boolean expression

� 𝑪𝑪 + 𝑨𝑨
𝒀𝒀 = 𝑩𝑩 � 𝑩𝑩
� 𝑪𝑪 + 𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨

2. Using the Boolean Theorems, simplify and prove that the above expression is
�)
equivalent to 𝒀𝒀 = 𝑪𝑪(𝑨𝑨 + 𝑩𝑩

3. Construct a logic circuit on the circuit maker or Logisim based on the expression in
(1). Test the logic circuit using the A, B and C input combinations and complete Table
1 for Y column. Using snipping tool, Copy and Paste the logic circuit below (Figure
1).

� 𝑪𝑪 + 𝑨𝑨
Figure 1 Combinatorial logic circuit for 𝒀𝒀 = 𝑩𝑩 � 𝑩𝑩
� 𝑪𝑪 + 𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨

4. Now construct a logic circuit on the Circuit Maker or Logisim based on the simplified
� ). Using snipping tool, Copy and Paste the
expression in (2) which is 𝒀𝒀 = 𝑪𝑪(𝑨𝑨 + 𝑩𝑩
logic circuit below (Figure 2).

�)
Figure 2 Combinatorial logic circuit for 𝒀𝒀 = 𝑪𝑪(𝑨𝑨 + 𝑩𝑩

5. Test the logic circuit using the A, B and C input combinations and complete the Table
1 for Z column.

A B C Y Z
