    Magnitude Comparator

    Digital comparators compare digital signals at their inputs and output conditions depending on the input values. There are two main types: identity comparators with one output indicating if inputs are equal, and magnitude comparators with three outputs indicating if one input is greater than, less than, or equal to the other. Magnitude comparators are implemented using logic gates to compare bits at each position and output the overall comparison. Truth tables and logic expressions are provided for 1, 2, 3, and 5-bit magnitude comparators.

    The Digital Comparator

    Another common and very useful combinational logic circuit is that of the Digital Comparator circuit.
    Digital or Binary Comparators are made up from standard AND, NOR and NOT gates that compare the
    digital signals present at their input terminals and produce an output depending upon the condition of those
    inputs.

    For example, along with being able to add and subtract binary numbers we need to be able to compare them
    and determine whether the value of input A is greater than, smaller than or equal to the value at input B etc.
    The digital comparator accomplishes this using several logic gates that operate on the principles of Boolean
    Algebra. There are two main types of Digital Comparator available and these are.

    1. Identity Comparator – an Identity Comparator is a digital comparator that has only one output
    terminal for when A = B either “HIGH” A = B = 1 or “LOW” A = B = 0

    2. Magnitude Comparator – a Magnitude Comparator is a type of digital comparator that has three
    output terminals, one each for equality, A = B greater than, A > B and less than A < B

    The purpose of a Digital Comparator is to compare a set of variables or unknown numbers, for example A
    (A1, A2, A3, …. An, etc) against that of a constant or unknown value such as B (B1, B2, B3, …. Bn, etc)
    and produce an output condition or flag depending upon the result of the comparison. For example, a
    magnitude comparator of two 1-bits, (A and B) inputs would produce the following three output conditions
    when compared to each other.

    Which means: A is greater than B, A is equal to B, and A is less than B
