74HC85 DIP 4-bit Magnitude Comparator

The 74HC85 is a 4-bit magnitude comparator integrated circuit (IC) designed to compare two 4-bit binary or BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) numbers. It provides outputs indicating whether one number is greater than, less than, or equal to the other. This IC is useful in various digital applications where comparison operations are necessary.
