18 Implicants vs Prime Implicants (PI) vs Essential Prime Implicants (EPI) | K-Map

Описание: What is the difference between a Prime Implicant and an Essential Prime Implicant? 🤷‍♂️

In this video, we break down the terminology of K-Map Minimization:
1. *Implicant:* Any single 1 or group of 1s.
2. *Prime Implicant (PI):* The largest possible group you can make.
3. *Essential Prime Implicant (EPI):* A group containing at least one '1' that cannot be covered by any other group.
4. *Redundant Prime Implicant (RPI):* A PI that is not needed in the final expression.



We use a solved example to identify and count these implicants correctly.
