The IC component CD74HC85M is a 4-bit magnitude comparator manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is designed to compare two 4-bit binary numbers and determine their relative magnitude. It comes in a 16-pin SOP package, making it suitable for various digital applications.
Key Features:
1. 4-Bit Comparisons: The CD74HC85M has four input ports, allowing comparisons of two 4-bit numbers. It can be used to compare the magnitude of these numbers, determining if they are equal, less than, or greater than each other.
2. Versatile Inputs: This integrated circuit accommodates both active-high and active-low logic inputs. It provides flexibility by allowing the user to select the type of input gating they prefer, depending on their application requirements.
3. Multiple Outputs: The CD74HC85M offers three outputs: AB. These outputs indicate the relative magnitude of the two input numbers following a comparison.
4. Speed and Low Power Consumption: With a typical propagation delay of 9 ns and a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, this IC provides fast and efficient operation. Moreover, it consumes very low power, making it energy-efficient
