Product-of-Sums expressions can be implemented using both 2-level OR-AND and NOR logic circuits. In the OR-AND implementation, the sums (OR operations) are first computed, then the product (AND operation) of these sums is computed. In the NOR logic implementation, due to the duality principle, the same function can be implemented using NOR gates only, as NOR gates can perform the function of both OR and AND gates through appropriate arrangements.
