Building circuits
Simplifying boolean equations
We have met gate logic and combinations of gates. Another way of representing gate logic is through boolean algebra, a way of algebraically representing logic gates. You should have already covered the symbols, below is a quick reminder:
Bitwise Operator NOT() AND(.) OR(+) XOR() NAND() NOR() Description invert input where exactly two 1s where one or more 1s where exactly one 1 where less than two 1s where exactly two 0s
For the exam you might have:
to convert logic gates into boolean algebra,
build logic gate combinations from boolean algebra,
simplify boolean algebra.
