74HC85 4-Bit Comparator IC (7485 IC) DIP-16 Package

74HC85 4-Bit Comparator IC (7485 IC) DIP-16 Package

The 74HC85 (also known as the 7485) is a 4-bit magnitude comparator IC designed to compare two 4-bit binary or BCD (8-4-2-1) coded words. This IC provides three distinct outputs that indicate whether one 4-bit word is greater than, equal to, or less than another. It is suitable for use in applications where comparing data is required, and it simplifies design by eliminating the need for complex logic gates.

Key Features:

• 4-Bit Comparator: Compares two 4-bit words (A and B) to provide the results for A < B, A = B, and A > B.
• Fully Decoded Outputs: Three output functions for easy external access: A < B, A = B, and A > B.
• Expandability: Can be expanded to handle larger bit-widths without the need for external gates.
• Straight Binary and BCD Compatibility: Supports both binary and BCD (8-4-2-1) codes.
• Easy Integration: Simple to integrate into digital circuits where magnitude comparison is required.
• Package: Comes in a DIP-16 package for easy mounting on circuit boards.

Specifications:

• Bitness: 4-bit comparator
• Output Function: Provides A < B, A = B, and A > B outputs
• Supply Voltage: Maximum operating voltage of 5.25 V
• Number of Pins: 16 pins (DIP-16 package)
• Dimension: 18.5mm x 8mm x 7mm

Applications:

• Digital Comparisons: Used in systems where comparing binary or BCD words is necessary.
• Data Processing: Ideal for applications requiring comparisons between registers, data buses, or memory addresses.
• Signal Processing: Can be used in digital signal processing applications where magnitude comparison is needed.
• Expanding Comparators: This IC can be cascaded to support larger bit-widths for more complex comparisons.

Package Includes:

• 1 x 74HC85 4-Bit Magnitude Comparator IC (DIP-16)

This 74HC85 4-bit comparator is a powerful tool for simplifying your logic designs where magnitude comparison is essential. It is ideal for use in a variety of digital systems requiring straightforward and efficient comparison of 4-bit binary or BCD data.
