Multiple Outputs - Slides

Multiple Outputs

  • Consider the functions: and
    • We can minimize each function separately, or minimize and as one circuit with two outputs
  • The idea is to share terms (gates) among and

Five and Six-Variable K-Maps

  • The K-map method is not limited to four variables or less
  • However, using it to visualize functions with more than four variables becomes more challenging
  • These are typically very hard to do by hand, and thus we use computers to do the work for us
    • There is no direct algorithm that can be implement in a computer
