DM74LS85
4-Bit Magnitude Comparator
General Description
These 4-bit magnitude comparators perform comparison of
straight binary or BCD codes. Three fully-decoded deci-
sions about two, 4-bit words (A, B) are made and are exter-
nally available at three outputs. These devices are fully
expandable to any number of bits without external gates.
Words of greater length may be compared by connecting
comparators in cascade. The A
>
B, A
<
B, and A
=
B out-
puts of a stage handling less-significant bits are connected
to the corresponding inputs of the next stage handling
more-significant bits. The stage handling the least-
significant bits must have a high-level voltage applied to
the A
=
B input. The cascading path is implemented with
only a two-gate-level delay to reduce overall comparison
times for long words.

Note 1:
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.
