Answer to Question #180305 in Electrical Engineering for Hammad

Question

Consider you are a research engineer who is assigned to cut the hardware cost of the circuits by reducing the gate count. For this you have to find multiple options through which you can do it. A junior engineer designed a circuit for solving a problem whose end statement is

You have the following options:

1. Use multiple AND gates and one multi input OR gate

2. Use multiple OR gates with one multi input AND gate.

 

Implement both of these scenarios and discuss with reasons which one would be lesser in

During your current job your boss has asked you to re-implement the circuit that someone designed and implemented two years back on hardware.

1. 

2. 

 

The following are requirements: 

1. The number of gates in the circuit should be minimum possible. 

2. Only one type of gate can be used.

 

Implement the above circuit by choosing the optimum gate and state reasons for your choice.
