Circuit Description

A simple 4-bit parity generator for even parity, built with four XOR gates.

(Note: The corresponding exercise in our introductory courses does not include the hint to use the XOR gates. The attempt to minize the parity generator function using KV-maps and then implementing the circuit using AND-OR gates results in a somewhat larger circuit...)
