The CD74HCT688M96 is an integrated circuit component that falls under the category of high-speed CMOS logic. It is a 8-bit magnitude comparator with parallel outputs, designed to compare two 8-bit binary numbers and provide outputs indicating the relation of the inputs.
Key Features:
1. Magnitude Comparison: The CD74HCT688M96 performs a magnitude comparison between a pair of 8-bit binary numbers. It can determine whether one number is equal, greater than, or less than the other.
2. Parallel Outputs: This IC has eight parallel output pins (Y7-Y0) that provide the result of the comparison. The outputs reflect the relationship between the two input numbers in terms of equality or magnitude. For example, if the numbers are equal, all outputs would be low (logic 0). If one number is greater than the other, the corresponding output pins will go high (logic 1).
3. Speed and Compatibility: The "HCT" in its name refers to its high-speed CMOS technology, which allows for faster operation compared to traditional CMOS logic. The "74" signifies that it follows the standard 74 series pinout, making it compatible with other ICs in the same series.
4. Wide Operating Voltage: The CD74HCT688M96 has a broad operating voltage range, typically from 2 to 6 volts
