So we will do things a bit differently here.
Design 1 bit comparator circuit.
The truth table for a 4 bit comparator would have 4 4 256 rows.
We will compare each bit of the two 4 bit numbers and based on that comparison and the weight of their positions we will draft a truth table.
We logically design a circuit for which we will have two inputs one for a and other for b and have three output terminals one for a b condition one for a b condition and one for a.
Circuits that compare two voltages and give a digital output dependent upon the comparison of the two voltages are often used within electronic circuit design.
In general a comparator is a device which compares two currents or voltages and produces the digital output based on the comparison.
For a comparator circuit a high gain amplifier is needed so that even small changes on the input result in the output level firmly switching.
A comparator is shown as figure 2 1.
The comparator is basically a 1 bit analog to digital converter.
The logic circuit of a 2 bit comparator how to design a 4 bit comparator.
Consider one bit number a and b trust table is shown below.
A b a b a b figure 2 1 1 bit comparator.
2 logic design for 4 bit comparator 2 1 logic design procedure magnitude comparator is a combinational circuit that compares to numbers and determines their relative magnitude.
