1. Example-1 : Minterm = 0,1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,14





1. Minterm = 0,1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,14
DontCare =
Variable = a,b,c,d
using Quine-McCluskey


Solution:
Minterm = `sum m(0,1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,14)`

Variable = a,b,c,d

1. Prime implicant chart (ignore the don't cares)
PIs\Minterms012567891014a,b,c,d
1,5XX0-01
5,7XX01-1
6,7XX011-
0,1,8,9XXXX-00-
0,2,8,10XXXX-0-0
2,6,10,14XXXX--10

Column-9 has only single X, so essential PI (0,1,8,9) is -00-. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 0,1,8,9

Extracted essential prime implicants : -00-


2. Reduced Prime implicant chart
PIs\Minterms25671014a,b,c,d

5,7XX01-1
6,7XX011-
0,2,8,10XX-0-0
2,6,10,14XXXX--10

Column-14 has only single X, so essential PI (2,6,10,14) is --10. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 2,6,10,14

Extracted essential prime implicants : --10


3. Reduced Prime implicant chart
PIs\Minterms57a,b,c,d
1,5X0-01
5,7XX01-1
6,7X011-
0,2,8,10-0-0

(`2^(nd)` Row) Row PI 5,7 has maximum(2) X, so essential PI (5,7) is 01-1. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 5,7


Extracted essential prime implicants : 01-1


All extracted essential prime implicants : -00-,--10,01-1
