  2. What is CAFE? • Boolean Logic Minimization Program • Possible Relevant Inputs • Boolean Functions • Minterms • Truth Tables • Cubes (Tabular or Quine-McCluskey Method) • Possible Relevant Outputs • Same as Inputs

  3. CAFE Syntax • Case Sensitivity • “ab” is different from “Ab” • Every line must end in a comma or a period. • All characters beyond the comma or period on a line are considered as comments. • Blank lines are ignored.

  4. Gate Representation

  5. Two Sections of a Typical CAFE Text File • Specification Block • Tell CAFE what you have. • Process Block • Tell CAFE what you want.

  6. Specification Block • <equation> Boolean Equations • <arrays> Cubes for Tabular Method • <minterms> Minterms • <xterms> Maxterms • <tables> Truth Tables

  7. Process Block • Consists of • CAFE Commands • Output Variables • Example: • e w ~w. • Finds equations for w and w.

  8. Command Line Syntax • At the prompt type “cafe input_file” • Output will print to screen. • If errors are found, edit input_file and correct. • To print the output to a file, type “cafe input_file > output_file”

  9. Two Examples • Example 1: minterm.txt • Given: Minterms for two functions. • Find: Equations for the two functions. • Example 2: truth.txt • Given: A boolean function. • Find: The truth table for this function.
