The Karnaugh map is a method to simplify Boolean algebra expressions. In a Karnaugh map the boolean variables are transferred (generally from a truth table) and ordered according to the principles of Gray code in which only one variable changes in between adjacent squares. Once the table is generated and the output possibilities are transcribed, the data is arranged into the largest possible groups containing 2n cells (n=0,1,2,3...) and the minterm is generated through the axiom laws of boolean algebra. We have designed this application primarily to support students studying electronic engineering, although it is useful in other disciplines including computer science and mathematics. Features: - Minimize logic function entered as text, Karnaugh map or truth table - Up to 8 variables - Contains History option - Supports the Don't care condition - Shows representation of each minimized component in the Karnaugh Map
Kmap Solver
This app solves Karnaugh Maps (Kmaps) for up to five variables, providing all possible solutions and displaying them on the map. It also generates four optimized output logic circuit versions, including traditional, common inverters, and NAND/NOR only circuits.
- Solves Kmaps for 2, 3, 4, or 5 variables
- Displays all possible Kmap solutions
- Shows four optimized logic circuit versions
- Traditional circuit output
- Common inverters circuit output
- NAND/NOR only circuit output

This application solves Karnaugh Map, also called Kmap, for 2, 3, 4 or 5 variables. It is the only application I know that will provide (and show on Kmap) ALL possible kmap solutions. It will also shows four different versions of an optimized output logic circuit: a tradicional version, a circuit with common inverters and NAND/NOR only circuit.
