What is POS?
The POS stands for Product of Sum defined as the product of maxterms. As the name suggests the SOP form represents the AND operation of the sum terms i.e., maxterms. The POS represents the maxterms in Boolean algebra. The POS is denoted by Π. As the POS deals with the maxterms it works on active low logic.
Example of POS
- (A + B).(C + D)
- (P’ + Q).(R + S’)

SOP Vs POS
SOP and POS are two of the important topics of the Boolean algebra. SOP refers to the sum of the product of the minterms, whereas POS is the Product of the sum of terms. SOP and POS help us simplify the complex Boolean variables and are mainly used in K-maps. In this article, we will explore the difference between SOP and POS. Let’s start learning on the topic of SOP vs POS.
