74LS85 4-bit Magnitude Comparator IC
The 74LS85 is a 4-bit magnitude comparator integrated circuit. It compares straight binary and BCD codes. This IC generates three fully-decoded decisions: A > B, A < B, and A = B at its outputs. The device supports expansion for comparing words of greater lengths. Multiple 74LS85 comparators can be cascaded without requiring external gates. This cascading feature incorporates a two-gate-level delay. This design reduces overall comparison times for long digital words. It functions as a component for digital logic designs requiring data comparison.
