Engineering Combinational Logic Circuits using Logic Gates

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a combinational logic circuit with four inputs and two outputs for specific functions f1 and f2. The user presents two attempts at a solution, detailing the number of gates and inputs used in each design. Initially, there was confusion regarding the gate diagram, particularly about the function of input selectors. After review, the diagram was confirmed to be correct, clarifying the misunderstanding about the selectors' roles. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately interpreting circuit diagrams in logic design.

Your equations for f1 and f2 look right, but your gate diagram does not (hint: look at the input selectors).

[Edit] I take it back. Diagram looks good. I was thinking that those selectors were input polarity selectors. They now appear to me as input state selectors.
