Truth Table to Canonical POS

EasyLogic CircuitAnalyze

NOR-based CMOS logic families natively implement functions expressed in Product of Sums (POS) form.

The truth table below defines a three-input logic function F with inputs A, B, and C.

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

Identify the maxterms of the function. Express the output F in canonical Product of Sums notation.

Constraints

  • Canonical POS must include all variables in every sum term.
  • Maxterm indices correspond to the binary value of the inputs where F evaluates to 0.
