After completing this section, you should be able to
u Map a standard POS expression on a Karnaugh map
u Combine the 0s on the map into maximum groups
u Determine the minimum sum term for each group on the map
u Combine the minimum sum terms to form a minimum POS expression
u Use the Karnaugh map to convert between POS and SOP
Karnaugh Map Simplification of POS Expressions
The process for minimizing a POS expression is basically the same as for an SOP expression except that you group 0s to produce minimum sum terms instead of grouping 1s to produce minimum product terms.
