What is the correct answer for the 4 bit magnitude comparator homework?

In summary, a 4 bit magnitude comparator is a digital circuit that compares two 4 bit binary numbers and determines which one is greater, equal, or less than the other. It works by using logic gates to compare each bit of the two numbers and outputs a result based on the individual comparisons. Its purpose is to compare binary numbers in digital systems. The output options include greater than, equal to, and less than, represented by binary signals. It can be expanded to compare larger numbers by cascading multiple 4 bit comparators together.

FAQ: What is the correct answer for the 4 bit magnitude comparator homework?

What is a 4 bit magnitude comparator?

A 4 bit magnitude comparator is a digital circuit that compares two 4 bit binary numbers and determines which one is greater, equal, or less than the other.

How does a 4 bit magnitude comparator work?

A 4 bit magnitude comparator uses a combination of logic gates, such as AND, OR, and NOT gates, to compare each bit of the two binary numbers. It then determines the overall comparison result based on the individual bit comparisons.

What is the purpose of a 4 bit magnitude comparator?

The purpose of a 4 bit magnitude comparator is to perform comparisons between two 4 bit binary numbers, which is useful in various digital systems such as computers and calculators.

What are the output options of a 4 bit magnitude comparator?

The output options of a 4 bit magnitude comparator include greater than, equal to, and less than. These outputs are represented by binary signals, with 1 indicating true and 0 indicating false.

Can a 4 bit magnitude comparator be expanded to compare larger numbers?

Yes, a 4 bit magnitude comparator can be expanded to compare larger numbers by cascading multiple 4 bit comparators together. This allows for the comparison of binary numbers with more than 4 bits.
