Karnaugh Map (K-map) Rules for Simplification Explained

_*In this video, the Karnaugh Map (K-map) Rules for minimising the Boolean expression has been discussed.*_

*K-map Rules:*
_1. All the 1s in the map should be covered_
_2. Adjacent cells who are differing by only one variable can be Grouped_
_3. Group must be in the power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc.)_
_4. Grouping is done in square of rectangular shape_
_5. Overlapping of group is allowed_
_6. Wrap around in K-map_
_7. Groups may be Horizontal or Vertical but cannot be a Diagonal_
_8. Make the Groups as large as Possible_

This video will be helpful to all the students of science and engineering in understanding the K-map rules for Simplifying the Boolean Expression.

Thanks sir, you are helping me a lotttt by providing such high quality content ❤❤

[EMERGINGGamer]

Looks like the video is out at perfect timing for me

[현일황-cf]

Thanks to your lecture, Can you make the video about Three phase circuits?

[mayurshah]

Just superb, please continue such informative videos ❤❤

[muskanustad]

Sir please make a playlist on Static Timing Analysis 🙏🏻

false

groups can be diagonal in certain cases

and they simplify to xor or xnor

Now working as an engineer for quite a while, I see K-maps pretty useless to learn. They are cool, and gets you going, but shifts the mentality in a wrong way nowadays. Since nobody ever designs digital circuits using K-maps anymore, students do not learn the proper way of thinking. Focus should be on system-wide knowledge, a literal shitton of analysis and let the synthesizers figure out the most efficient logic soulution for a given circuit. Somehow in programming, we automatically rely on compilers and say it is a given. It should be the same for synthesizers too. Ditch K-maps and teach analysis, design principles and actually useful knowledge.
