1. For the following function: i) Find all the Prime Implicants, ii) Find all the Essential Prime
Implicants and iii) Find a simplified expression in Sum of Products. [6]
Y X
F (A, B, C, D) = M (2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 15) + d(0, 4, 8, 12)
2. For the following function find both minimized Product of Sums expression and Sum of
Products expression and decide which one you will prefer and why. [6]
3. You have to design a digital system with 4-bit binary number as input. This system produces
an output of 1 if the input is divisible by 3 or 5 and outputs 0 if the input is divisible by
4. For example the circuit outputs 1 if the input is 1010 and outputs 0 if the input is 0100.
Find a minimized expression for the output function and draw the logic diagram. [6]
4. Suppose a digital circuit is required that outputs the unsigned difference between two 2-bit
binary numbers. So the input of the circuit is 4-bits and the output of this circuit is 2-
bits. For example, if the numbers are 01 and 10 the output is 01 regardless of the orders of
the numbers in input. Find a minimized expression of the output bits and draw the logic
diagram. [6]
5. (a) Perform BCD addition between the following two numbers (657)10 and (789)10 using
their BCD represntation. Show all the necessary steps to get full marks. [2]
(b) Convert the following number (513.AE)16 to a number in base-8. [1.5]
(c) Convert the number (101101.1011)2 to a decimal number. [1.5]
(d) There are two numbers, 4022x = 878y . Which is true about x and y and why? [1]
i. x = y
ii. x > y
iii. x < y
F(A,B,C) = AB + BC 0 + CA
(b) Convert the following expression into product of sum(POS) format. [2]
(c) Determine the (i) Dual and (ii) Complement of the following expression: [2]
(b) Use boolean algebra to minimize the following Boolean expression to a minimum number
of literals: [3]
