canonical form

Canonical Forms :

 

       Two dual canonicali of min terms" and a "product of max terms." 

 

 

       The term "Sum of Products" (SoP or SOP) is widely used for the canonical form that is a dis junction (OR) of min terms.

        
     The SOP (Sum of Product) and  POS (Product of Sum) arethe methods for deducing a particular logic function. ... 

 

 

                The prior difference between the SOP and POS is that the SOPcontains the OR of the multiple product terms. Conversely, POSproduces a logical expression comprised of the AND of the multiple OR terms.

CANONICAL FORMS OF SUM OF PRODUCT :

               Canonical SoPform means Canonical form ofSum of Products. In this form, each product term contains all literals. So, these product terms are nothing but the min terms.Hence, canonical SoP form is also called as sum of min terms form.

 

 

 

CANONICAL FORM OF PRODUCT OF SUM

          Canonical PoS formmeans Canonical Product of Sums form. In this form, eachsum term contains all literals. So, these sum terms arenothing but the Max terms.Hence, canonical PoS form is also called as product of Max terms form.
