description
These advanced Schottky devices are capable of performing high-speed arithmetic or logic comparisons on two
8-bit binary or two’s complement words. Two full decoded decisions about words P and Q are externally
available at two outputs. These devices are full expandable to any number of bits without external gates. The
P > Q and P < Q outputs of a stage handling less-significant bits may be connected to the P > Q and P < Q inputs
of the next stage handling more-significant bits to obtain comparisons of words of longer lengths. The cascading
paths are implemented with only a two-gate-level delay to reduce overall comparison times for long words. Two
alternative methods of cascading are shown in the typical application data.
The latch is transparent when P Latch Enable (PLE) is high; the P input port is latched when PLE is low. This
provides the designer with temporary storage for the P data word. The enable circuitry is implemented with
minimal delay times to enhance performance when cascaded for longer words. The PLE and P and Q data
inputs utilize p-n-p input transistors to reduce the low-level current input requirements to typically – 0.25 mA,
which minimizes dc loading effects.
The 54ACT11885 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55
