Can someone teach me how to find all valid minterms of any given truth table?

Explanation:

A minterm is a product of variables, in which each variable appears exactly once, either complemented or not. When a truth table is represented in a sum of products form, there is one minterm for each line in the table for which the output is True (1).

Suppose I have a truth table as follows, with inputs A, B and output Z.

  <u>AB Z</u>

  00 1

  01 0

  10 1

  11 0

When I write the minterms, I use a complemented variable where the input is 0, and an uncomplemented variable where the input is 1. The minterm is expressed as a product of those variables.

Here, there are 2 lines in the table with outputs Z=1. The input conditions AB for those outputs are 00 and 10, so the corresponding minterms are A'B' and AB', where the apostrophe indicates the variable is complemented.

This table is then represented by the sum of products ...

  Z = A'B' + AB'

You have all of the valid minterms when you have one for each line of the table where the output is 1.

<em>Comment on truth table representation</em>

Truth tables can be represented a number of ways. A nice representation for the purpose of identifying minterms is a list of the output for every possible combination of inputs. We have used that form above.

Sometimes, you may see minterms listed as decimal numbers in the range of 0 to 2^n -1 when there are n input variables. Then, the minterms are developed from the binary equivalents of those decimal numbers.

<u>Example</u>:

Logic with 4 input variables has minterms 7, 8, and 15. The binary equivalents of these numbers are 0111, 1000, 1111. The corresponding minterms (for inputs a, b, c, d) are a'bcd + ab'c'd' + abcd = z. Three numbers are listed, so we know we have all of the valid minterms when we have three corresponding minterms.

<em>Additional comment</em>

In some cases, outputs will be listed as "don't care." Another set of minterms can be generated for the don't cares. These can be used in the logic minimization process.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

G = $37,805.65

Explanation:

I found this on another site:

475,000 = 25,000(P/A,10%,6) + G(P/G,10%,6)

475,000 = 25,000(4.3553) + G(9.6842)

9.6842G = 366,117.50

G = $37,805.65

Charging method .Constant current method​
mina [271]

Answer:

There are three common methods of charging a battery; constant voltage, constant current and a combination of constant voltage/constant current with or without a smart charging circuit.

Constant voltage allows the full current of the charger to flow into the battery until the power supply reaches its pre-set voltage.  The current will then taper down to a minimum value once that voltage level is reached.  The battery can be left connected to the charger until ready for use and will remain at that “float voltage”, trickle charging to compensate for normal battery self-discharge.

Constant current is a simple form of charging batteries, with the current level set at approximately 10% of the maximum battery rating.  Charge times are relatively long with the disadvantage that the battery may overheat if it is over-charged, leading to premature battery replacement.  This method is suitable for Ni-MH type of batteries.  The battery must be disconnected, or a timer function used once charged.

Constant voltage / constant current (CVCC) is a combination of the above two methods.  The charger limits the amount of current to a pre-set level until the battery reaches a pre-set voltage level.  The current then reduces as the battery becomes fully charged.  The lead acid battery uses the constant current constant voltage (CC/CV) charge method. A regulated current raises the terminal voltage until the upper charge voltage limit is reached, at which point the current drops due to saturation.
