Sum of Product (SOP) Logic Circuit
Design procedure
1. Implement each Minterm in the logic expression using
an AND gate with the same number of inputs as
variables in the Minterm e.g. AB = 2 input gates, ABC
= 3 input gates, and ABCD = 4 input gates
2. OR together the outputs of the AND gates to produce
the logic expression
3. If necessary, gates can be cascaded to create gates with
more inputs

Sum of Product (SOP) Example 2
Try to produce a solution before revealing the solution on the
next slide
In this class, you only have access to 2-input OR gates, 2-
input AND gates, and 3-input AND gates
Using this criteria redesign your AOI Logic Circuit for the
SOP expression in the previous example

In this class, you only have access to 2-input OR gates, 2-
input AND gates, and 3-input AND gates
Using this criteria redesign your AOI Logic Circuit for the
SOP expression in the previous example

Product of Sum (POS) Procedure
Design Procedure
1. Implement each Maxterm in the logic expression with an
OR gate of the same number of inputs as there are
variables in the Maxterm e.g. A+B = 2 input gates, A+B+C
= 3 input gates, and A+B+C+D = 4 input gates
2. AND together the outputs of the OR gates to produce the
logic expression
3. If necessary, gates can be cascaded to create gates with
more inputs
