Electronic – Karnaugh Mapping with Two Outputs

karnaugh map

Is it possible to create a Karnaugh Map when there are two outputs, the examples I have seen are all one output. If it is possible, what is the process to convert a truth table like this to a k map? If it is not possible, are there any processes like a k-map I can use to help simplify the truth table?

For Example:

A,B,C|OutA,OutB
0,0,0|0,0
0,0,1|0,1
0,1,0|0,1
0,1,1|1,0
1,0,0|0,1
1,0,1|1,0
1,1,0|1,0
1,1,1|1,1

Best Answer

I beleive that you will need to do two Karnaugh maps; one for each output. After you have done the two maps, you can see if there are any common terms that can be used in a solution for both outputs.
