Difference between SOP and POS in Digital Logic
What is Minterm and Maxterm in SOP and POS?
SOP uses minterms to create a Boolean expression which is product of Boolean variables whereas POS uses maxterms to create a Boolean expression which is sum of Boolean variables.
What is the symbol for SOP and POS?
SOP and POS are two forms of Boolean expression where SOP is denoted with the sign summation ∑ and POS is denoted by pi notation Π.
What is the example of SOP and POS expressions?
Example of SOP form = AB + BC + CA
Example of POS form = (A + B)(B + C)(C + A)
Difference between SOP and POS in Digital Logic
In digital logic, the inputs and output of a function are in the form of binary numbers (Boolean values) i.e., the values are either zero (0) or one (1). Therefore, digital logic is also known as ‘Boolean logic’. These inputs and output can be termed as ‘Boolean Variables’. The output Boolean variable of a digital signal can be expressed in terms of input Boolean variables which forms the ‘Boolean Expression’.
