When a Boolean expression is represented as a product of sum terms, it is called POS (Product of Sums) form. In POS form, each sum term of the expression may not contain all the variables. On the other hand, when the Boolean expression is represented as a product of sum terms, where each sum term contains all the variables of the function, it is called Standard Product of Sums (SPOS) form. In the Standard POS form, each sum term of the Boolean expression is called a maxterm. Now, let us discuss the expansion of a Boolean expression in POS form ... Read More

When a logical expression or Boolean function is expressed as a sum of minterms or as a product of maxterms, then it is called the canonical form of the expression or function. A canonical form of the Boolean expression is also known as standards form, i.e. Standard Sum of Products (SSOP) Form and Standard Product of Sums (SPOS) Form. The canonical form of a Boolean function involves minterms and maxterms. A minterm is a product term which contains all the variables of the Boolean function either in complemented or un-complemented form. A maxterm is a sum term which ... Read More

A digital logic circuit that accepts several data inputs and allows only one of them at a time to flow through the output is called a multiplexer or MUX. This article is meant for explaining multiplexer in digital electronics, its block diagram, function, and different types. So, let us start with the basic introduction of multiplexer What is a Multiplexer? As already mentioned, a multiplexer, also referred to as MUX, is a combination logic circuit that is designed to accept multiple input signals and transfer only one of them through the output line. In simple words, a multiplexer is a ... Read More

Electronic logic conventions are the sets of rules followed while designing a digital logic system or device. These conventions are adopted due to their different characteristics observed by several experiments. The use of electronic logic conventions, makes the implementation process of a digit system easy and smooth. Also, a standardization is achieved in the design. This tutorial is entirely meant for explaining different electronic logic conventions used in digital system implementations. As we know, the digital systems are implemented in binary number system due to some technical and economic reasons. The binary number system follows Boolean’s rules to perform arithmetic ...

K-Map or Karnaugh Map is a simplification technique used to minimize a given complex Boolean function. K-Map or Karnaugh Map is a graph or chart which is composed of an arrangement of adjacent cells, where each cell of the K-Map represents a particular combination of variables in either sum or product form. The K-map can be used to simplify Boolean functions involving any number of variables. But, the simplification of a Boolean function using K-map becomes very complex for expressions involving five or more variables. Therefore, in actual practice, the K-map is limited to six variables. The number of cells ... Read More

Several techniques have been developed to simplify a complex Boolean expression into its simplest form. K-Map or Karnaugh Map is one of such minimization or simplification techniques. The K-Map or Karnaugh Map is a graph or chart which composed of an arrangement of adjacent cells. Where, each cell of the K-Map represents a particular combination of variables in either sum or product form. The K-map can be used to simplify Boolean functions involving any number of variables. But, the simplification of a Boolean function using K-map becomes tedious for problems involving five or more variables. Therefore, in actual practice, the ... Read More

Digital audio workstations Cubase and Nuendo were both created by Steinberg. The best musicians and editors in the business utilize both of these workstations. Although they share many traits and resources, there are significant differences between them. Read this article to find out more about Cubase and Nuendo and how they are different from each other. What is Cubase? Cubase is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by the German company Steinberg. From initial concept to final mastering, it may be utilised for anything in the music production process. Artists, producers, and engineers working in genres as varied as ... Read More

Ableton Live and Ableton Suite are two popular digital audio workstations (DAWs) created by Ableton, a software company based in Berlin. Both versions of the software are designed for music production and live performance, but they differ in certain areas. Ableton Live is the software's entry-level version, designed for live music creation and performance. Ableton Suite is a more advanced version of the software that includes all of the functionality of Ableton Live as well as a wide range of extra instruments and effects. Read this article to find out more about Ableton Live and Ableton Suite and how they are ... Read More

Rheostats and potentiometers are both electrical components that allow for current adjustment. However, they differ in terms of design, construction, and operation. A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor that is used to measure or change the voltage in a circuit. A rheostat is an electrical component that uses resistance to control the flow of current in a circuit. Read this article to find out more about Rheostats and Potentiometers and how they are different from each other. What is Rheostat? A rheostat is an electrical component that uses resistance to control the flow of current in a circuit. It ... Read More

Edge-lit and backlit lighting technologies are used in modern displays such as televisions, monitors, and advertising panels. The primary difference between the two is how light is spread across the screen. Edge-lit technology refers to a display with LEDs located around the panel's edges. Backlit technology refers to displays with LEDs located behind the screen. Read this article to find out more about Edge Lit and Backlit and how they are different from each other. What is Edge Lit? Edge-lit technology is a type of display lighting technology in which the LEDs are placed along the panel's edges. These LEDs emit light ... Read More
