The Story
4-bit Magnitude Comparator IC - 74HC85
The 74HC Series 74HC85 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices and are pin-compatible with low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL). They are specified in compliance with JEDEC standard no. 7A. The 74HC85 IC are 4-bit magnitude comparators that can be expanded to almost any length. They perform the comparison of two 4-bit binary, BCD, or other monotonic codes and present the three possible magnitude results at the outputs (QA>B, QA=B and QAB, IA=B and IAB = = LOW and IA=B = HIGH. For words greater than 4-bits, units can be cascaded by connecting outputs QA? and QA=B to the corresponding inputs of the significant comparator.
