Boole-Deusto

Boole-Deusto is intended for engineering students that want to learn more about digital electronics or combinational logic and design their own virtual circuits and diagrams.

The application can assist you in creating custom combinational circuits, which are widely used in computing, generally for performing mathematical calculations and applying principles of Boolean algebra.

Circuits can be based on manual or compact truth tables, Boolean expressions, canonical sums or products. The program enables you to generate Veitch-Karnaugh diagrams and understand the way they are created in order to simplify a Boolean expression and reduce the number of physical logic gates (AND / OR operators) required to solve a problem.

You can use it to create loops and assess their efficiency. Each circuit can be assigned a short text description stating its role and explaining its functioning.

Boole-Deusto allows you to work with sums of products and products of sums, commonly known as SOP and POS expressions and is capable of generating their equivalent logic gate circuits. A snapshot of the output can be sent to the clipboard and inserted within your projects or printed on paper.

The software comprises a module dedicated to building finite-state machines, which are computational models that can be integrated in computer applications and logic circuits. It supports the Moore and the Mealy system types and enables you to save the diagrams as VHDL code, OrCAD-PLD or JEDEC files.

Learning about relay circuits and their practical use in computer architecture requires lots of studying and practice. Boole-Deusto offers you a method to draw schematic circuits and analyze complex Boolean expressions, but the studying part is entirely up to you.
