Use the Quine-McClusky method to find the minimized product of sums expression for the function F(A,B) = A⊕B.
We use the Quine-McClusky method to find the minimized product of sums expression for the complex functions where the normal simplification procedures become tedious. Here, we have been given a function A XOR B, which we need to simplify in the SOP form.
Quine-McClusky method for SOP minimization uses Prime Implicates for this process and the final minimized expression contains only Essential prime Implicates.
The given function here is fairly simple, so the process will include only a few steps. The complete solution is given below.
