Note: You will need to use VerilUOC_Desktop to answer this question. Please, complete the module "VerilUOC_Desktop tools", inside this week 2, before performing this exercise.

Minimize the Boolean function as a sum of products of literals:

f(a,b,c,d,e)=(\overline{b}+\overline{a}.c.d).(\overline{(\overline{b}+c+\overline{d})}+c.d)+\overline{a}.c.d.ef(a,b,c,d,e)=(
b
+
a
.c.d).(
(
b
+c+
d
)

+c.d)+
a
.c.d.e

Instructions to answer this question

1) In the virtual machine, open VerilUOC_Desktop, click on “Simulate”->”Verification” and then click on the BoolMin tab.

2) In "Module", select "Graded Exercises" and click on exercise 2.3.b. Enter the minimized Boolean expression.

3) BoolMin returns a 4 uppercase letters code. Type it in the answer box.
