COMPARATOR
The SN54/74LS85 is a 4-Bit Magnitude Camparator which compares two
4-bit words (A, B), each word having four Parallel Inputs (A0–A3, B0–B3); A3,
B3 being the most significant inputs. Operation is not restricted to binary
codes, the device will work with any monotonic code. Three Outputs are
provided: “A greater than B” (OA>B), “A less than B” (OA<B), “A equal to B”
(OA=B). Three Expander Inputs, IA>B, IA<B, IA=B, allow cascading without
external gates. For proper compare operation, the Expander Inputs to the
least significant position must be connected as follows: IA<B= IA>B = L, IA=B
= H. For serial (ripple) expansion, the OA>B, OA<B and OA=B Outputs are
connected respectively to the IA>B, IA<B, and IA=B Inputs of the next most
significant comparator , as shown in Figure 1. Refer to Applications section of
data sheet for high speed method of comparing large words.
The Truth Table on the following page describes the operation of the
SN54/74LS85 under all possible logic conditions. The upper 11 lines describe
the normal operation under all conditions that will occur in a single device or
in a series expansion scheme. The lower five lines describe the operation
under abnormal conditions on the cascading inputs. These conditions occur
when the parallel expansion technique is used.
