HD74HC688
8-bit Magnitude Comparator
Description
The HD74HC688 compares bit for bit two 8-bit words and indicates whether or not they are equal. The
P=Q output indicates equality when it is low.
A single active low enable is provided to facilitate cascading of several packages and enable comparison of
words greater than 8-bits.
This device is useful in memory block decoding applications, where memory block enable signals must be
generated from computer address information.
Features
• High Speed Operation: tpd (P or Q to Output) = 17 ns typ (CL = 50 pF
