    Boolean Algebra Calculator

    In our circuit, we use Boolean algebra simplification methods like the Quine-McCluskey algorithm to
    simplify the Boolean expression and display the output on the display. It works as a portable
    calculator to simplify the Boolean expression on the fly.

    Boolean Algebra Calculator Circuit Features:


     Portable
     Fast
     Low power
     Low cost
     Reliable

    Block Diagram Description:


    Above figure shows the basic block diagram of the project. Now let us discuss all the blocks in detail:
    1. Power Supply: It can be defined as a device that supplies electrical energy to one or more
    electric loads. The term is most commonly applied to devices that convert one form of electrical
    energy to another, though it may also refer to devices that convert another form of energy
    (e.g., mechanical, chemical, solar) to electrical energy. In our project a supply mains that is
    5volt d.C. is given to the microcontroller, LED’s , keypad, display.
    2. Microcontroller: Microcontroller ATMEGA 16L is used for the automation purpose and acts as
    brain of the project. It controls the output (Display) according to the input given to it. Read the
    post:Microcontroller Basics to get basic knowledge about microcontrollers.
    3. Display: The Display used here is 3 Bicolor LED’s. The Glowing Pattern of LED’s represent
    the desired minimized expression.
    4. Keypad: In this project series of switches have been used as keypad, is used to give the input
    (minterms) expression. Each digit on the keypad corresponds to one minterm each.

    Circuit Schematic:
    This circuit is a simple 3 variable Boolean expression minimizer. It uses the Quine McCluskey
    algorithm which was described in the chapter 1.In this the microcontroller plays a major role, it
    consists of code to implement the described algorithm as well as controlls other components in the
    circuit.

    Initially when the power is switched on an LED will glow which indicates that the microcontroller is
    ready to take the input. Here the input boolean expression is given in SOP form, i.e only minterms
    are to be entered through the keypad provided.

    The keypad consists of 9 switches of which 8 switches corresponds to one minterm each and the 9th
    one is used as next button.After entering the expression the input indicating LED will go OFF, now
    based on the algorithm microcontroller reduces the expression and the input representing LED
    glows which means that the expression has been minimized and is displayed.

    The display consists of 3 Bi-color LED’s in which Green Light represents the variables in normal
    form and the rest Red Light represents the variables in the complemented form, the order of them is
    as shown in the circuit diagram.

    The output is displayed as one minterm at a time, next minterm is displayed by pressing the next
    button and after reaching the last minterm of the reduced expression the input indicating LED is
    switched OFF which represents end of the output. After few seconds it is again switched ON
    automatically when microcontroller is ready to take the next input.
