Karnaugh Maps

This is lab 5 of 18 in the course

by Enable Education

Students are introduced to Karnaugh Maps. They will learn how to create Karnaugh Maps and will learn their practical applications to minimize Boolean functions. In this lab, students will use Karnaugh maps to simplify a Boolean expression and derive the output, simplified combinational logic circuit, and K-map for a circuit. The interactive, online learning platform, Thinkscape, hosts this lab.
