Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CD74HC85M96G4 and what does it do?
The CD74HC85M96G4 is a 4-bit magnitude comparator from Texas Instruments in a 16-pin SOIC package. It compares two 4-bit binary inputs (A and B) and asserts one of three outputs — A greater than B, A equal to B, or A less than B — making it ideal for sorting, priority, and address-decoding logic.
Can the CD74HC85M96G4 be cascaded to compare more than 4 bits?
Yes. The device includes cascade inputs that allow multiple CD74HC85 comparators to be chained together to compare binary words wider than 4 bits. The cascade inputs accept the A>B, A=B, and A<B outputs from a less-significant stage, enabling straightforward expansion to 8-bit, 16-bit, or larger comparisons.
What are the key electrical specifications of the CD74HC85M96G4?
The CD74HC85M96G4 operates with a load capacitance of 50 pF and a maximum low-level output current (I_OL) of 5.2 mA. It belongs to the HC/UH high-speed CMOS logic family and is rated with JEDEC package code R-PDSO-G16 (16-pin SOIC). The device carries JESD-609 code e4, indicating a lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction.
What package does the CD74HC85M96G4 use, and is it suitable for automated assembly?
The CD74HC85M96G4 comes in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) tape-and-reel package, which is fully compatible with standard automated PCB assembly processes including pick-and-place and reflow soldering. The tape-and-reel format (M96 suffix) is designed for high-volume production environments.
What are common applications for the CD74HC85M96G4?
Common applications include address decoding in microprocessor systems, digital setpoint comparators in industrial controllers, priority encoding circuits, and data sorting logic in digital signal processing. Its cascadable design and reliable CMOS performance also make it useful in FPGA peripheral circuits and embedded system test equipment.
