DESCRIPTION that permit system s designers to expand the

The HCF4063B is a monolithic integrated circuit comparator function to 8, 12, 16...4N bits. When a
fabricated in Metal Oxide Semiconductor single HCF4063B is used the cascading inputs
technology available in DIP and SOP packages. are connected as follows :
The HCF4063B is a low power 4-bit magnitude (A<B) = low, (A=B) = high, (A>B) = low.
comparator designed for use in computer and For words longer than 4 bits, HCF4063B device
logic applications that require the comparison of may be cascaded by connecting the outputs of the
two 4-bit words. This logic circuit determines less-significant comparator to the corresponding
whether one 4-bit word (Binary or BCD) is "less cascading inputs of the more significant
than", "equal to" or "greater than" a second 4 bit comparator. Cascading inputs (A<B, A=B, and
word. The HCF4063B has eight comparing inputs A>B) on the least significant comparator are
(A3, B3 through A0, B0), three outputs (A<B, A=B, connected to a low, a high, and a low level,
A>B) and three cascading inputs (A<B, A=B, A>B) respectively.
