The CD74HCT688E from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit identity comparator belonging to the 74HCT series, designed for high-speed digital logic applications. Housed in a 20-pin DIP package, this through-hole-mount IC operates within a 4.5V to 5.5V supply range, making it compatible with standard TTL and CMOS logic levels. It features an active-low output that asserts low when the two 8-bit input words (A and B) are identical, implementing the A=B function. With a maximum propagation delay of 34ns at 4.5V and 50pF load, it ensures rapid signal processing, while its low quiescent current (8 µA) minimizes power consumption. The device is RoHS3 compliant and adheres to REACH and EAR99 regulations, ensuring environmental and export compliance.
The CD74HCT688E excels in systems requiring bit-pattern matching or equality detection, such as:
The CD74HCT688E stands out as a high-performance, low-power identity comparator for 5V logic systems. Its fast response time, CMOS/TTL compatibility, and ease of integration make it a preferred choice for address decoding, data validation, and control logic. With Texas Instruments' reliability and compliance with global standards, this IC is a robust solution for both industrial and consumer electronics demanding precision and efficiency.
