The IC 7485 (SN74LS85N) is a high-speed 4-bit magnitude comparator device from the 74LS logic family. It compares two 4-bit binary numbers (A and B) and provides outputs indicating whether A > B, A = B, or A < B. This IC supports cascading, enabling comparison of numbers wider than 4 bits by linking multiple 7485 devices together for 8-, 12-, or 16-bit comparisons.
Built with Low Power Schottky (LS) TTL technology, this comparator offers fast switching, reliable logic levels, and low power consumption. It is widely used in digital logic systems, microprocessor interfaces, sorting systems, and data processing units where numerical comparison is required.
