摘要: The basic principle in designing digital circuit hovers around reducing the required hardware thus cost too. To achieve this, we use Boolean expression that helps obtaining minimum number of terms and does not contain any redundant pairs. conventional methods for minimization expressions are K-Map method . minimized used to design circuits. Since gets exceedingly complex when variable exceed six, hence Quine-McCluskey tabulation scores over this is widely .In following paper present optimized Quine- McCluskey reduces run time complexity algorithm by proposing an efficient determination Prime Implicants.
