HLF 74LS85 4-Bit Magnitude Comparator – DIP16 | High-Speed TTL Logic IC | 4.75V–5.25V, 0°C to +70°C | Through-Hole Package

The HLF 74LS85 is a high-speed 4-bit magnitude comparator designed using Low-Power Schottky TTL (LS) technology, offering fast comparison performance, low power dissipation, and excellent noise immunity. It compares two 4-bit binary words (A and B) and provides outputs indicating whether A > B, A = B, or A < B.

The device includes cascading inputs and outputs, allowing multiple units to be connected for comparing larger binary words up to 8, 12, or 16 bits. The 74LS85 is ideal for digital sorting, arithmetic logic units (ALUs), data processing, and control systems that require real-time magnitude comparison. Operating within 4.75V–5.25V and 0°C to +70°C, it ensures reliable and consistent TTL-level performance.
