Special case of four variable logic function (k-maps)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a four-variable logic function with a minimal sum-of-products realization that is not hazard-free, yet has a hazard-free realization with fewer product terms than the complete sum. The original poster is struggling with the problem and has primarily used trial and error without success. There is a request for clarification on the term "hazard" in logic design, indicating a need for deeper understanding. Participants are encouraged to provide insights or solutions to this specific logic design challenge. The focus is on resolving the complexities of logic function realizations and hazards in digital design.

I need help with this problem, so far I've only been using trial and error but I'm getting nowhere, and can't think of any other way to figure this out.

Anyway, the problem is to find a four-variable logic function whose minimal sum-of-products realization is not hazard free, but for which there exists a hazard-free sum-of-products realization with fewer product terms than the complete sum.

Any help would be appreciate :)

I asked in your other thread, but I'll ask again here too in case the threads get separated. What do you mean by the term "hazard" in the context of logic design?
