Click For Summary
The user is experiencing issues with their Karnaugh map simplification, as the simulation does not match the truth table results. They express concern that their boolean equation appears overly complex, raising the possibility of errors in either the equation or the circuit itself. Respondents highlight the need for clearer communication, noting that the user's question lacks sufficient detail about the variables and their relationships. It is emphasized that boolean expressions can be large before simplification, and confusion arises from mismatched inputs and outputs in the circuit and truth table. Clarifying these details is crucial for effective troubleshooting.

Hi! Good night ;)

I have made the simplification of my circuit from the truth table using maps of.
Everything looks good, however the simulation does not work in many cases according to the truth table.

I notice that my boolean equation taken from the maps looks very big, is there the error?

If it is ok, the error is my circuit?

Thanks for read!

One of the problems with social media sites like PF is that you are getting feedback from volunteers. They may choose to help or not depending on their own level of interest and the difficulty required. So, you will get more and/or better responses if you make your questions easy to understand.

I do know about K-maps and I am confident I could solve this problem. But, the way you've asked is frankly more confusing than the engineering required. I don't know what A, B, C, and D are or how they relate to the other table or the schematic (eg. what does D1 indicate). I suppose I could probably figure it out with reverse engineering, but I'm just not motivated enough right now given how confusing you've made it. When understanding the question is harder than solving the problem, I'll tend to move on.

So, maybe you could add some more detail about what you are doing and why? Maybe you could define some of the labels you've introduced?

Finally, boolean expressions that are derived from truth tables can be very big before they are reduced with logic. For example: ## xyz + xy\bar{z} + x\bar{y}z + x\bar{y}\bar{z} = x ##
 
Agreed.

For example, the circuit looks like ABCD are the inputs, but your truth table has different inputs and some inputs at the outputs?

Yes, that's because the names corresponding to thins like "valve" "high level" "temperature" etc. but yes, it is ABCD

Then what are the outputs?
 
Greetings to all, I am writing with a question regarding graph generation in LTSpice. I am using LTSpice XVII and am trying to plot AM-AM and AM-PM characterization for a power amplifier, but I haven't been successful yet, likely due to my lack of practice with this specific analysis. I have been using a square wave input at 8.2 MHz as the voltage waveform for my power amplifier. It is said that for a switching amplifier like Class-D, the AM-AM / AM-PM (amplitude-to-amplitude and...
Thread 'How do I determine the resistance for RLC low pass filter?'
Hi, I am trying to build a RLC low pass filter that atenuates the frequency below 4500 Hz. However, I have encountered some problem when choosing the correct R to work with. Here is the Circuit Here is the original sound. Here is my code in Matlab function Vout = myFilterCircuit(Vin,h) n_V = length(Vin); f_7 = 4470;; % Undesired frequency h_7 = h; % delta time % These are for the constant and initialization of the variables t_7 = 0:h_7:(n_V-1)*h_7; % This is the independent variable...
