## 🔬 Mathematical Foundation

### Boolean Algebra Fundamentals

Digital logic circuits are based on Boolean algebra, a mathematical structure that deals with binary variables and logical operations. The fundamental postulates are:

#### Basic Laws and Theorems

**Identity Laws:**

- A + 0 = A
- A · 1 = A

**Null Laws:**

- A + 1 = 1
- A · 0 = 0

**Idempotent Laws:**

- A + A = A
- A · A = A

**Complement Laws:**

- A + Ā = 1
- A · Ā = 0

**De Morgan's Theorems:**

- (A + B)' = A' · B'
- (A · B)' = A' + B'

#### Mathematical Representation

For an n-input Boolean function f(x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ), the function can be expressed in:

**Sum of Products (SOP) Form:**

```
f(x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ) = Σᵢ mᵢ = Σᵢ (product terms)
```

**Product of Sums (POS) Form:**

```
f(x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ) = Πᵢ Mᵢ = Πᵢ (sum terms)
```

Where mᵢ represents minterms and Mᵢ represents maxterms.

### Logic Gate Truth Tables

#### Basic Gate Operations

| A | B | AND | OR | NAND | NOR | XOR | XNOR |
|---|---|-----|----|----- |----- |-----|------|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

#### Mathematical Functions

**AND Gate:**

```
Y = A · B = AB
```

**OR Gate:**

```
Y = A + B
```

**NOT Gate:**

```
Y = Ā = A'
```

**NAND Gate:**

```
Y = (A · B)' = (AB)'
```

**NOR Gate:**

```
Y = (A + B)'
```

**XOR Gate:**

```
Y = A ⊕ B = A'B + AB'
```

**XNOR Gate:**

```
Y = (A ⊕ B)' = A'B' + AB
```

## 🧮 Boolean Logic Theory

### Canonical Forms

#### Minterm Expansion

For a Boolean function of n variables, there are 2ⁿ possible minterms. Each minterm is a product term where each variable appears exactly once (either complemented or uncomplemented).

**Minterm Formula:**

```
mᵢ = x₁^(a₁) · x₂^(a₂) · ... · xₙ^(aₙ)
```

Where aᵢ ∈ {0, 1} and x^0 = x', x^1 = x

#### Maxterm Expansion

Similarly, maxterms are sum terms where each variable appears exactly once.

**Maxterm Formula:**

```
Mᵢ = x₁^(b₁) + x₂^(b₂) + ... + xₙ^(bₙ)
```

Where bᵢ ∈ {0, 1} and x^0 = x, x^1 = x'

### Karnaugh Map Simplification

For Boolean function minimization, the simulator implements Karnaugh map logic for optimal circuit reduction:

**K-map Adjacency Rule:**
Two cells are adjacent if they differ in exactly one variable position.

**Grouping Rules:**

- Groups must contain 2ⁿ cells (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...)
- Groups should be as large as possible
- Each group eliminates one variable from the resulting term

### Functional Completeness

The simulator supports functionally complete gate sets:

- **{NAND}**: Universal gate set
- **{NOR}**: Universal gate set
- **{AND, OR, NOT}**: Standard complete set

**Proof of NAND Universality:**

```
NOT A = A NAND A
A AND B = (A NAND B) NAND (A NAND B)
A OR B = (A NAND A) NAND (B NAND B)
```

## 📊 Circuit Analysis

### Propagation Delay Analysis

The simulator models realistic gate delays using discrete event simulation:

**Delay Calculation:**

```
tpd = tpd_gate + tpd_interconnect
```

Where:

- tpd_gate: Intrinsic gate delay
- tpd_interconnect: Wire routing delay

### Critical Path Analysis

For combinational circuits, the critical path determines maximum operating frequency:

**Critical Path Delay:**

```
Tcritical = max(Σ tpd_gates_in_path)
```

**Maximum Frequency:**

```
fmax = 1 / (Tcritical + tsetup + thold)
```

### Signal Integrity

The simulator considers:

- **Rise/Fall Times**: Signal transition characteristics
- **Noise Margins**: VIH, VIL, VOH, VOL specifications
- **Fan-out Loading**: Current driving capability analysis

### Circuit Complexity Metrics

**Gate Count Complexity:**

```
Complexity = Σ (Gate_Inputs × Gate_Weight)
```

**Logic Depth:**

```
Depth = max(levels_from_input_to_output)
```

const numCombinations = Math.pow(2, numInputs);

for (let i = 0; i < numCombinations; i++) {

propagateSignals();

// Record output values
recordOutputs(i);
}
