McCluskey's Law
McCluskey's Law is a principle in digital logic design that simplifies Boolean functions. It provides a systematic method for minimizing logic expressions, making it easier to design efficient circuits. The law is particularly useful for reducing the complexity of truth tables and can be applied to both combinational and sequential logic.
The law is named after Edward J. McCluskey, who introduced it in the 1950s. By using a tabular method, McCluskey's Law helps engineers identify common terms and eliminate redundancies, ultimately leading to simpler and more cost-effective electronic designs.
