SOP Method

The document discusses the Sum of Products (SOP) method for designing logic circuits. The SOP method involves identifying the fundamental products from a truth table that produce a high output. These products are then combined using OR gates to obtain the sum of products expression. An example truth table is provided and the fundamental products are identified. The products are ORed to obtain the SOP equation, and a logic circuit diagram is drawn based on the SOP equation.

METHODS OF

DESIGNING LOGIC
CIRCUITS
SOP METHOD
(SUM OF PRODUCTS)

1
SOP method
• By this method we can draw a simplified
logic circuit for a given truth table or
Boolean expression.

• It is the logical sum of those fundamental


products that produce High output in the
truth table. The corresponding logic circuit
is called as AND-OR Logic circuit.

2
…..EXPLANATION
• Given a truth table, we identify the
fundamental ‘Products’ needed for a logic
design. Then by ‘summing up the
products’, that is by ‘ORing' these
products we can get ‘Sum of Products’
expression/equation corresponding to a
given truth table.
• Note that in SOP method the fundamental
products produce a High output for the
corresponding input combination

EXAMPLE….Consider the following truth table
with three inputs A,B,C and Y as a output. Locating each High
o/p and writing the fundamental product as follows.

A B C Y
0 0 0 0
Y=A.B.C
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 0
0 1 1 0
1 0 0 0
1 0 1 1 Y=A.B.C

1 1 0 0
Y=A.B.C
1 1 1 1 4
Contd…
In order to get the sum of product
expression we need to OR the fundamental
Products as follows:

Y = (A.B.C)+(A.B.C)+(A.B.C)

ORing

This is the required Sum of Products

Designing a LOGIC CIRCUIT
SUM OF PRODUCTS EQUATION:

A B C Y = (A.B.C)+(A.B.C)+(A.B.C)

A.B.C

A.B.C Y

A.B.C

This is the required logic circuit 6
