Hello fellow AAC members!
Hope you can help me!

Well, the problem I have is:

I'm trying to find the simplest way to implement a 2 bit binary multiplier in a protoboard circuit, with logic gates.

After a lot of research, I found this circuit:

Can I get any circuit more simplified than this? (six AND gates and two XOR gates), which gives me three ICs(2x 74LS08 and 1x74LS86).

Regards,

You can remove the rightmost AND gate : C3 = A0*A1*B0*B1 which is already true after the midle AND.
