Product details
Overview
74HCT85N,652 from Nexperia is a TTL-level-compatible 4-bit magnitude comparator IC used for binary/BCD word comparison in digital control logic. It delivers three simultaneous outputs (QA>B, QA=B, QA<B), supports cascading for wider-word comparison (e.g., 8-, 12-bit), operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and functions across −40 °C to +125 °C - enabling use in industrial servo-motor controllers and process automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT85N,652 datasheet, 74HCT85N,652 pinout, 74HCT85N,652 application, or 74HCT85N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL input compatibility, propagation delay under 66 ns at 5 V/50 pF, SO16 package thermal derating (12.4 mW/K above 110 °C), and verified cascade interface behavior with IA>B/IA=B/IA<B expansion inputs.
Technical Context
The 74HCT85N,652 implements a hierarchical compare architecture: first-level evaluation of A3–A0 vs B3–B0 bit pairs, followed by priority-based resolution using expansion inputs (IA>B, IA=B, IA<B) to accept results from less-significant comparators. Its output logic directly drives downstream combinational or sequential logic without level-shifting.
Input clamping diodes enable safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used. The device complies with JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), and meets HBM ESD immunity ≥2000 V and CDM ≥1000 V per JS-001/JS-002.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic rails and stable operation in noise-prone industrial environments. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤66 ns (An/Bn to QA>B/QA<B, VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables real-time comparison within tight timing budgets of motor control loops. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) - guarantees reliable recognition of standard TTL output levels from legacy controllers. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in extended-temperature industrial enclosures and under-hood process equipment. |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL at VCC = 4.5 V) - sufficient to fan-out to ≥10 74HCT-series inputs without buffering. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (Tamb ≤ 110 °C, SO16 package) - requires no active cooling in typical PCB layouts with moderate airflow. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT85N,652 is supplied in SO16 (SOT109-1): plastic small outline package, 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch. Thermal resistance θJA = 80 K/W (typical, JEDEC Std 51-2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9, 11, 14 | B3, B0, B1, B2 | Word B 4-bit input bus (MSB to LSB); accepts standard TTL voltage levels. |
| 10, 12, 13, 15 | A0, A1, A2, A3 | Word A 4-bit input bus (LSB to MSB); aligned for direct connection to parallel data buses. |
| 2, 3, 4 | IA<B, IA=B, IA>B | Cascade expansion inputs - connect outputs of lower-order comparator to enable multi-chip word comparison. |
| 5, 6, 7 | QA>B, QA=B, QA<B | Active-HIGH magnitude result outputs - drive LEDs, latches, or next-stage logic without inversion. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V) - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts 0.8 V/2.0 V VIH/VIL thresholds - eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with 74LS, 74F, or microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Cascadable architecture | Three dedicated expansion inputs (IA<B, IA=B, IA>B) and outputs enable seamless 8-, 12-, or 16-bit comparisons without external logic. |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input structure with hysteresis-free design achieves >400 mV noise margin at VCC = 5 V, reducing false triggering in EMI-heavy environments. |
| Robust ESD protection | HBM ≥2000 V and CDM ≥1000 V - withstands handling and board assembly without special precautions. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for use in uncontrolled industrial cabinets and outdoor control panels. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Controller | Servo-Motor Position Comparator |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-bit magnitude comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC85D,118 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V @ VCC = 4.5 V); wider 2.0–6.0 V supply range; 39 ns max tpd at 4.5 V. | Requires level translation when driven by TTL sources; better suited for mixed-voltage systems with 3.3 V or 2.5 V logic domains. | Select when interfacing with HC-series logic or operating below 4.5 V - not drop-in compatible with TTL outputs. |
| SN74LS85N | Bipolar TTL technology; 4.75–5.25 V only; 45 ns max tpd; higher ICC (19 mA typical); no ESD rating specified. | Higher power draw and heat generation; lacks modern ESD robustness; limited to legacy 5 V-only designs. | Choose only for direct replacement in existing LS-based schematics where layout changes are prohibited. |
Compared with 74HCT85N,652, the 74HC85D,118 offers broader supply flexibility but requires input level adaptation, while the SN74LS85N matches legacy timing but increases thermal load and reduces reliability in modern automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the 74HCT85N,652 at 5 V supply?
The 74HCT85N,652 exhibits a maximum propagation delay of 66 ns from any An or Bn input to QA>B or QA<B outputs when operated at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF, and over the full −40 °C to +125 °C temperature range. At VCC = 5.0 V with CL = 15 pF, the delay drops to 22 ns (typical) - a value confirmed in Table 7 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 5.
Does the 74HCT85N,652 support cascading for comparing words longer than 4 bits?
Yes, the 74HCT85N,652 supports multi-stage cascading via dedicated IA<B, IA=B, and IA>B inputs and corresponding QA<B, QA=B, QA>B outputs. As shown in Figure 9 of the Nexperia datasheet, three 74HCT85N,652 devices can compare 12-bit words with proper interconnection - no external logic required. The least-significant unit must have IA<B = IA>B = LOW and IA=B = HIGH for correct initialization.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VCC and operating temperature of the 74HCT85N,652?
The 74HCT85N,652 has an absolute maximum VCC rating of +7 V and a storage temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C. Its recommended operating ambient temperature is −40 °C to +125 °C, and the supply voltage must remain within 4.5 V to 5.5 V during normal operation - values documented in Tables 4 and 5 of the Nexperia product data sheet Rev. 5.
How does the 74HCT85N,652 handle input voltages exceeding VCC?
The 74HCT85N,652 includes integrated input clamping diodes, allowing safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V when current-limiting resistors are used. Per Table 4, the maximum input clamping current is ±20 mA - this feature enables direct connection to overvoltage sources like certain sensor outputs or legacy bus lines without external protection circuitry.
Is the 74HCT85N,652 pin-compatible with other 74HCT85 variants such as TSSOP packages?
Yes, the 74HCT85N,652 (SO16/SOT109-1) shares identical pinout and electrical functionality with the 74HCT85PW (TSSOP16/SOT403-1) and 74HCT85DB (SSOP16, discontinued). Pin numbering, signal assignments, and logic behavior are fully consistent across these packages - only physical dimensions and thermal characteristics differ, as confirmed in Sections 4 and 6.1 of the Nexperia datasheet.
