Key Features
- 4-bit parallel magnitude comparison with cascadable expansion inputs allows chaining multiple devices to compare 8-bit, 12-bit, or wider words without extra logic gates
- Three simultaneous comparison outputs (A>B, A=B, A<B) eliminate external decoding logic in sorting, priority, and range-detection circuits
- HC CMOS family operates from 2 V to 6 V supply with 50 pF load drive capability, compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V digital systems
Applications
The CD74HC85MT is used in digital control systems, PLCs, and data acquisition hardware to compare addresses, set-points, or counter values against a reference without consuming microcontroller cycles. Its cascadable expansion inputs allow designers to build 8-bit or 16-bit comparators by daisy-chaining two or four devices, covering address decoding and alarm threshold detection in industrial controllers. The SOIC-16 package integrates cleanly alongside standard CMOS logic families on mixed-voltage boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can CD74HC85MT devices be cascaded to compare values wider than 4 bits?
Two CD74HC85MT devices can compare 8-bit words by connecting the A>B, A=B, and A<B outputs of the lower-order stage to the cascade input pins (IA>B, IA=B, IA<B) of the higher-order stage, propagating the comparison result upward with correct priority, enabling 8-bit, 12-bit, or 16-bit comparisons using 2 to 4 devices.
What supply voltage range and output drive does the CD74HC85MT support?
The CD74HC85MT operates from 2 V to 6 V supply voltage, with a maximum output sink current of 5.2 mA and a 50 pF rated load capacitance, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS logic systems without level translators.
What are the three comparison outputs of the CD74HC85MT and how are they used in threshold detection?
The device simultaneously drives three outputs: A greater than B (A>B), A equal to B (A=B), and A less than B (A<B), each valid while inputs are stable, allowing a PLC counter stage to immediately determine whether a measured value is above, at, or below a 4-bit set-point without additional decoder logic.
When is the CD74HC85MT preferred over a software comparison in an 8-bit microcontroller system?
Hardware comparison with CD74HC85MT executes in a single propagation delay of approximately 13 ns at 5 V, whereas a software comparison in an 8-bit MCU running at 8 MHz takes at least 2 to 4 instruction cycles (250 to 500 ns), so the hardware comparator is preferred in time-critical interrupt-driven or glitch-detection applications where deterministic sub-microsecond response is required.
Is the CD74HC85MT compatible with 74LS85 or 74HCT85 in existing board designs?
The CD74HC85MT is pin-compatible with the 74LS85 and 74HCT85 in a 16-pin SOIC footprint, and its HC CMOS inputs (VIH ≥ 3.5 V at 5 V) accept TTL-level outputs from 74LS logic directly, making it a drop-in upgrade that reduces supply current from typically 24 mA (LS) to under 1 µA quiescent (HC).
