A 74HC85 magnitude comparator is used to:
A) compare two input voltage levels and generate outputs to indicate which voltage has the greater magnitude.
B) AND two binary quantities and generate outputs only if they are equal in magnitude.
C) Exclusive OR two binary quantities and generate an output if they are unequal in magnitude.
D) compare two input binary quantities and generate outputs to indicate which quantity has the greater magnitude.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 74HC85 is a digital IC designed for comparing two 4-bit binary numbers. It generates outputs indicating whether one binary quantity is greater than, less than, or equal to the other, not for comparing voltage levels or performing logical AND/XOR operations.
