Working Principles

The SN74HC688PWR is a digital logic circuit that compares two 8-bit binary numbers. It determines the relationship between the two inputs by performing a magnitude comparison. The circuit consists of multiple internal logic gates and flip-flops that process the input signals and generate the Less Than (LT), Equal (EQ), and Greater Than (GT) outputs.

When the inputs are applied, the circuit compares each corresponding bit of the two numbers starting from the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). It evaluates whether the bits are equal or if one number is greater than the other. Based on this comparison, the appropriate output signal is activated.
