It compares two 4-bit binary words (A and B) and provides three active-high outputs indicating whether A is greater than, less than, or equal to B. Housed in a standard DIP-16 package, this IC is essential for digital arithmetic and control systems in electronics projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogic family: HC (High-Speed CMOS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: 4-bit magnitude comparison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: A\u0026gt;B, A\u003cb a=\"B\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage: 16-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupply voltage: 2V to 6V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogic levels: TTL-compatible inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: -40°C to +85°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePropagation delay: typically 15 ns at 5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArduino Uno, Arduino Mega, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi (via level shifters), STM32, and any 5V or 3.3V logic system.
