Consensus Theorem: Removing a Redundant Term
Static hazards in digital circuits are eliminated by adding redundant logic gates that bridge transitions between prime implicants. The Boolean expression Y = AB + A'C + BC represents a three-variable logic function in sum-of-products form.
Evaluate the algebraic necessity of the term BC. Expand the expression algebraically to determine if BC alters the final logic output. Compare the truth table of Y against the reduced expression Z = AB + A'C across all possible input states.
Constraints
- Boolean algebra rules must be applied strictly to prove equivalence.
- The variables
A,B, andCrepresent standard binary logic levels.
