Build F = A(B + C) from Factored Form

EasyLogic CircuitBuild

Logic synthesis tools frequently factor Boolean expressions to minimize area and delay on silicon. Directly implementing a factored expression reduces the total gate count compared to standard Sum-of-Products form.

Construct a circuit that implements the Boolean function F = A(B + C).

| A | B | C | F | |-----|-----|-----|-----| | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |

Constraints

  • Implement the circuit using exactly one 2-input AND gate and one 2-input OR gate.
  • Do not expand the expression into Sum-of-Products form.
  • Combinational logic only.
