2. Example-2 : Minterm = 2,6,8,9,10,11,14,15





Minterm = 2,6,8,9,10,11,14,15
DontCare =
Variable = a,b,c,d
using Quine-McCluskey


Solution:
Minterm = `sum m(2,6,8,9,10,11,14,15)`

Variable = a,b,c,d

1. Prime implicant chart (ignore the don't cares)
PIs\Minterms268910111415a,b,c,d
2,6,10,14XXXX--10
8,9,10,11XXXX10--
10,11,14,15XXXX1-1-

Column-2 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
Column-9 has only single X, so essential PI (8,9,10,11) is 10--. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 8,9,11

Extracted essential prime implicants : --10,10--


2. Reduced Prime implicant chart
PIs\Minterms15a,b,c,d
10,11,14,15X1-1-

Column-15 has only single X, so essential PI (10,11,14,15) is 1-1-. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 15

Extracted essential prime implicants : 1-1-


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