The process os logic synthesis consists in: given a logic function with a desired output, simplify the function so it can be implemented in a circuit with the desired behavior and a minimal cost.
The are serveral ways to realize the logic synthesis, in the book we are presented to two ways:
- Obtaining the canonical expression using minterms or maxterms and then minimizing the expression using Boolean algebra.
- Obtaining the minimal-cost expression using Karnaugh maps.
