What is Maxterm?
Maxterm is also a fundamental part of Boolean algebra. Maxterms are the sum of various distinct literals in which each literal occurs exactly once (in either its complement or un-complement form). The output result of the maxterm function is 0. It is represented by M. To represent a function, we perform the product of maxterms which is called the Product of Sum (POS) or maxterm expression.
Example:
(A+B).(A’+B).(A’+B’)

Conversion From Minterm Expression to Maxterm Expression
Minterm is the product of N distinct literals where each literal occurs exactly once. The output of the minterm functions is 1. Maxterm is the sum of N distinct literals where each literals occurs exactly once. The output of the maxterm functions is 0. The conversion from minterm to maxterm involves changing the representation of the function from a Sum of Products (SOP) to a Product of Sums (POS).
In this article, we will cover prerequisites like minterm, maxterm, minterm designation, maxterm designation, conversion from Cardinal form to Minterm Expression, and conversion from Cardinal form to Maxterm Expression with a detailed explanation of conversion from minterm expression to maxterm expression with solved examples and FAQs.
