1. Karnaugh maps are used to facilitate the simplification of Boolean algebra functions.2. The Karnaugh map is therefore arranged in a 4 ?4 grid. 3. Adjacent 1s in the Karnaugh map represent opportunities to simplify the expression. 4. Karnaugh maps are useful for detecting and eliminating race conditions.5. Steps in the reduction using a Karnaugh map . 6. The following are all the possible 2-variable, 2 ?2 Karnaugh maps . 7. The Karnaugh map reduces the need for extensive calculations by taking advantage of humans'pattern-recognition capability. 8. Karnaugh maps also allow easy minimizations of functions whose truth tables include " don't care " conditions.9. Minimizing Boolean functions by hand using the classical Karnaugh maps is a laborious, tedious and error prone process. 10. Hence logic minimization was for the most part limited to the use of Karnaugh Maps and DeMorgan's Law.
