DM9324 5-Bit Comparator

DM9324
5-Bit Comparator
General Description
The DM9324 expandable comparators provide comparison
between two 5-bit words and give three outputs—“less
than”, “greater than” and “equal to”. A HIGH on the active
LOW Enable Input forces all three outputs LOW.

DM9324
Functional Description
The ’24 5-bit comparators use combinational circuitry to
directly generate “A greater than B” and “A less than B”
outputs. As evident from the logic diagram, these outputs
are generated in only three gate delays. The “A equals B”
output is generated in one additional gate delay by decod-
ing the “A neither less than nor greater than B” condition
with a NOR gate. All three outputs are activated by the
active LOW Enable Input (E).
Tying the A
>
B output from one device into an A input on
another device and the A
<
B output into the corresponding
B input permits easy expansion.
The A4 and B4 inputs are the most significant inputs and
A0, B0 the least significant. Thus if A4 is HIGH and B4 is
LOW, the A
>
B output will be HIGH regardless of all other
inputs except E.

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.
