DeMorgan
Description
Despite all of the work done by George Boole, there was still more work to be done. Expanding on Boole’s studies, Augustus DeMorgan (1806-1871) developed two additional theorems that now bear his name. Without DeMorgan’s Theorems, the complete simplification of logic expression would not be possible. As we will seen in later activities, DeMorgan’s Theorems are the foundation for the NAND and NOR logic gates. In this activity you will learn how to simplify logic expressions and digital logic circuits using DeMorgan’s two theorems along with the other laws of Boolean algebra.
Conclusion Questions
1. [In Multisim]
2. You can prove that original Do-Nothing circuit and the simplified version is similar by creating an AOI circuit. Both circuits have the same inputs and outputs.
3. If each GATE cost $.20 and I made 100,000 units, it would total up to $200,000.
4. Did I get fired? YES, IT'S THEIR LOSS THOUGH! I WAS TOTALLY QUALIFIED!
