12. What is Karnaugh Map?
13. Simplify this Boolean expression using K-Map;

14. Analog to-digital converter is monitoring the dc voltage of a 12v storage battery on an orbiting spaceship.
The converter’s output is a four-bit binary number, ABCD, corresponding to the battery voltage insteps of
1v,with A as the MSB. The converter’s binary value outputs are fed to logic circuit that is to produce a
HIGH output as long as the binary value is greater than 0110=6 10 , that is, the battery voltage is greater than
6v. (i) Draw the table to represent the algorithm (ii) From the truth table, obtain a simplified expression for
F by means of algebraic techniques. (iii) Draw a K-map and hence obtain a simplified SOP expression for F
15. Prepare a truth table for these Boolean expression
i. ABC + ABICI + AI BICI
ii. X(YI + ZI) +XYI
16. A logic network has two inputs X and Y and an output Z. The relationship between input and output is to
be as follows:
I. When both X and Y are 0, Z is to be 1
II. When X is 0 and Y is 1, Z is to be 0
III. When X is 1 and Y is 0, Z is to be 1
IV. When X is 1 and Y is 1, Z is to be 1.
Design a combinational network to implement the above problem statement.
17. The circuit shown in Figure 1 is the logic equivalent of the Boolean expression:
F= ABC + ABIC + ABCI . Simplify the circuit using any method and draw the corresponding circuit.
