5. What is the primary motivation for using
Boolean algebra to simplify logic expressions?
a. It may make it easier to understand the
overall function of the circuit.
b. It may reduce the number of gates.
c. It may reduce the number of inputs
required.
d. all of the above.
Part 2. Calculation (5 points each)
Simplify the following Boolean expressions to a
minimum number of literals.
13. A burglar alarm is designed so that it senses four input
signal lines. Line A is from the secret control switch,
line B is from a pressure sensor under a steel safe in
a locked closet, line C is from a battery-powered
clock, and line D is connected to a switch on the
locked closet door. The following conditions produce
a logic 1 voltage on each line.
A: The control switch is closed.
B. The safe is in its normal position in the closet.
C. The clock is between 1000 and 1400 hours.
D. The closet door is closed.
Write the switching expression and the circuit for the
burglar alarm that produces a logic 1 (rings a bell) when the
safe is moved and the control switch is closed, or when the
closet is opened after banking hours, or when the closet is
opened with the control switch.
