Selective Prime Implicants
The prime implicants for which are neither essential nor redundant prime implicants are called selective prime implicants(SPI). These are also known as non-essential prime implicants. They may appear in some solution or may not appear in some solution.
Example of Selective Prime Implicants
Here we have 2 examples of prime implicant for better understanding given below :
Various Implicants in K-Map
Implicant is a product/minterm term in Sum of Products (SOP) or sum/maxterm term in Product of Sums (POS) of a Boolean function. For example, consider a Boolean function, F = AB + ABC + BC. Implicants are AB, ABC, and BC.
In this article, we will explore various implicants in K-Map with examples for better understanding and k-map diagram. Also, we will look into the Boolean expressions formed for each k-map.
