SUMMARY
The function f(w1,w2,w3) = Ʃm(0,1,2,4,7) can be effectively implemented using a 3-to-8 binary decoder combined with an OR gate. This implementation leverages the decoder's ability to activate specific outputs based on the input combinations, allowing for the simplification of circuit design by eliminating the need for AND gates. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding binary decoders and multiplexers (MUX) in digital circuit design, particularly in minimizing logical expressions.
