What are the key features of CD74HC85PWTE4?
- 4-bit magnitude comparison with three dedicated outputs: A>B, A=B, and A<B for direct decision logic
- Cascadable design with expand inputs allowing multiple CD74HC85PWTE4 devices to compare 8-bit, 12-bit, or wider data words
- HC High-Speed CMOS family operating from 2 V to 6 V supply with 50 pF load capacitance rating for reliable switching performance
What is CD74HC85PWTE4 used for?
The CD74HC85PWTE4 is commonly used in digital control systems and data sorting circuits where 4-bit binary words must be compared in real time, such as address decoding and priority arbitration logic. Its cascadable inputs make it straightforward to extend comparisons to 8, 12, or 16 bits by chaining multiple devices together without additional glue logic. The TSSOP-16 package and HC CMOS technology also make it a good fit for microcontroller peripheral boards and programmable logic replacement designs operating from 2 V to 6 V rails.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many bits can the CD74HC85PWTE4 compare, and can it be expanded to handle wider data words?
The CD74HC85PWTE4 compares two 4-bit binary words and provides three magnitude outputs. By connecting the cascading inputs of multiple devices, designers can build 8-bit, 12-bit, or 16-bit comparators without additional glue logic, simply by chaining the A>B, A=B, and A<B outputs of one stage into the expand inputs of the next.
What supply voltage range and load capacitance does the CD74HC85PWTE4 support?
The CD74HC85PWTE4 operates from a supply voltage of 2 V to 6 V, covering 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems. It is characterized at a load capacitance of 50 pF, and its maximum output low current (I_OL) is 5.2 mA, ensuring compatibility with standard CMOS and TTL-input logic families.
In which digital design scenarios is the CD74HC85PWTE4 preferred over using a microcontroller for comparison?
When deterministic, glue-logic-level latency is required for address decoding, key-code matching, or position feedback comparison in servo systems, the CD74HC85PWTE4 performs the 4-bit magnitude compare in nanoseconds without software overhead. This is especially valuable in FPGA prototype boards and legacy TTL-compatible designs where a dedicated comparator reduces firmware complexity and ensures cycle-accurate timing.
What package does the CD74HC85PWTE4 use and how does it affect board density?
The CD74HC85PWTE4 is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (PDSO-G16) package with a 0.65 mm lead pitch, occupying roughly 5 mm x 4.4 mm of PCB area. This small footprint is significantly more board-efficient than a DIP-16 equivalent, making it suitable for high-density SMT assemblies and multi-layer PCB designs with 4-layer or more stackups.
