Simplification Using Boolean algebra (Examples)

 

Boolean algebra is an important tool in digital electronics, allowing the simplification of logic circuits and simplifying a logic circuit reduces the number of gates and connections, leading to more efficient and cost-effective designs. There are examples of how to simplify Boolean expressions using Boolean algebra rules.

Example 1: Simplifying Basic Expressions

Given Expression:

A⋅A + A⋅B

Simplification:

1- Apply the Complement Law:

A ⋅ A =  0

0+ A⋅B

3- Apply the Identity Law:

0 + A⋅B = A⋅B

So, the simplified expression is A⋅B

Example 2: Combining Terms

Given Expression:

A⋅B + A⋅B

Simplification:

1- Apply the Distributive Law:

B⋅(A + A)

B.1 (Since A + A = 1)

2- Apply the identity law:

B.1 = B

So, the simplified expression is B.

Example 3: Combining Multiple Terms

Given Expression:

A⋅B + A⋅ B+ A⋅B

Simplification:

1-Apply the Distributive Law:

A⋅(B + B)+ A⋅B (since B+B=1)

2- Apply the Identity Law A⋅1 = A:

A + AB

3- Apply the Absorption Law: 

A + A ⋅B = A+BA

So, the simplified expression is A+B

Example 4: Prove that

a'b + b'c + ac' = ab' + bc' + a'c

We take the left side : a'b + b'c + ac'

= a'b(c+c') + (a+a')b'c + a(b+b')c'

= a'bc + a'bc' + ab'c + a'b'c + abc' + ab'c'

= ab'(c+c') + bc'(a+a') + a'c(b+b')......     Since((a+a')and(b+b')and(c+c') = 1)

= ab' + bc' + a'c .... and this is the Right side

These examples illustrate the power of Boolean algebra in simplifying logic expressions, making circuit designs more efficient. By mastering these simplification techniques, you can optimize digital circuits effectively.
