  Canonical form (Boolean algebra)
minterms of n variables - this is true since a variable in the minterm expression can either be in the form of itself or its complement - two choices per n variables.
For example, minterm 5, a b' c, is true only when a and c both are - the input where a = 1, b = 0, c = 1 results in 1.
minterms of n variables - this is true since a variable in the maxterm expression also, can either be in the form of itself or its complement - two choices per n variables.

A minterm is that AND function which includes the algebraic symbol for every input to the circuit (usally called input variables, variables or literals) once, and only once, in either true or complemented (inverted) form.
Further, each minterm corresponds to a single row in the truth table in such a way that the minterm can only have the value 1 when the circuit inputs have the values corresponding to this particular row in the truth table.
If all the minterms corresponding to an output of 1, and only those are listed, then whenever input conditions exist for which the circuit is required to give an output of 1, one of these listed minterms will have the value 1.

A minterm of this Boolean function is represented by one of the 2^n bit strings of length n, corresponding to a vertex of the n-cube.
The minterms may be reduced to an exact minimal form using the geometry of the hypercube.
A 0 in the kth bit indicates the complement of variable k in the minterm, and a 1 in the kth bit indicates variable k in the minterm.

Consider first the minterm 10, charged at the beginning of the evaluate period, if this minterm is not discharged by one of the inputs, a prolonged evaluate period will cause the minterm to discharge because of leakage thereby losing data.

We firstly begin with defining a ''minterm'' as a logical expression of ''n'' variables consisting of only the logical conjunction logical and operator and complements.
In general, one assigns each minterm (ensuring the variables are written in the same order, usually alphabetic), an index based on the binary value of the minterm.
If one is given a truth table of a logical function, it is possible to write the function as a "sum of products" (minterms logical conjunction AND'd in series).

 Implicit Transition Relation
Note that each minterm of the logical formula represents a state of the POM, and each variable of the minterm/state corresponds to an event.
By least minterms we mean the minterms that represent the initial states of a POM according to the definition 4.
Note that the completed terms are minterms representing states, whose set of events is contained in the set of events of each other minterm covered by the term.

Remember that a minterm is the input pattern where there is a '1' in the output of a truth table.
All minterms in a group must have the same number of ones and if any X's, the X's must be in the same position.
All remaining minterms are prime implicants A B C D __ X 0 X 0 thus F = BD In essence, the Quine McClusky algorithm is doing the same operations as the Karnaugh map.

The loop contains both A and B and their complements and so the resulting minterm is NOT C AND D. The green loop is a loop of 2 and so one variable can be eliminated leaving 3 variables in the minterm.
The K-map shows that this loop is independent of D and so the minterm is given by NOT A AND B AND NOT C. The purple loop is again a loop of 4.
The corresponding minterm is NOT B AND C. The blue loop is totally redundant as all of the 1s in the blue loop are also contained in another loop.

 Digital Logic - Using Minterms
Although a minterm expansion will always produce a function you can implement, for any truth table, there are better ways - ways that use fewer gates and which therefore cost less to implement.
Minterms are often referred to as sum-of-product expressions.
The minterms are shown to the right of the entries which are ones in the table above.

This is the minterm expansion representation of the function.
Since the minterm expansion is exactly the sum of those minterms, the function will have value 1 iff its minterm expansion has value 1.
Such an implementation is just a different representation of the minterm expansion, specifically a form of the DAG representation for the syntax of the expression.

 Topography for sixteen bit CMOS microprocessor with eight bit emulation and abort capability
The resulting minterm signals are inverted by a row of CMOS inverters, the outputs of which are connected to polycrystalline lines extending into an N-channel sum-of-minterm section.
A plurality of vertical polycrystalline silicon conductors are connected to the outputs of the respective minterm inverter drivers and run parallel to and the respective vertical vertical diffused lines, intersecting the various horizontal extensions thereof to define the N-channel FETs.
Making the MOSFET gates even wider decreased the minterm signal propagation time in the vertical direction, but increased the horizontal signal propagation along the polycrystalline silicon lines 176 by increasing the capacitance and the resistance of the polycrystalline silicon lines 176, and hence increasing their RC time constant.

Any expression which contains only variables in the minterm (sum of products) form, where each product term contains all the variables, or their complement, exactly once, is a minterm expression.
Sometimes the minterm and maxterm expression are written in a kind of ``shorthand,'' where the values (0 or 1) of the set of variables is used to form a binary number, the decimal equivalent of which designates the appropriate minterm or maxterm.

In this example, the maxterm solution contains only one term, whereas the minterm solution contains three, so clearly the maxterm solution is simpler in this case.
