Title: Convert SOP form into POS form
Post by: Spoil9 on October 11, 2009, 12:39:12 PM
Wasn't sure where to put this, and I couldn't find anything on search here.
Also did a Google search and not finding anything I can understand.

My ECE class is going over SOP and POS forms of boolean expressions. Well, my prof did not cover converting from one form to another with out first drawing k-maps, and neither does the book we use. Is this the best way to convert from SOP to POS or is there an easier way?

I've read on-line somewhere that I can use the first couple distributive laws, but my problem with that is I do not know them 100% and I find it hard to know when I have reached minimum form. And as you know, we only have so much time on an exam that I don't want to waste time with stuff that should be quick and simple.

Thanks for any guidance on this.
