These Advanced Schottky devices are capable of
performing high-speed arithmetic or logical
comparisons on two 8-bit binary or two’s
complement words. Three fully decoded
decisions about words P and Q are externally
available at the outputs. These devices are fully
expandable to any word length by connecting the
totem pole P>Q and P<Q outputs of each stage to
the P>Q and P<Q inputs of the next higher-order
stage. The cascading paths are implemented with
only a two-gate-level delay to reduce overall
comparison times for long words. The open-
collector P=Q output may be wire-ANDed
together.

Both input words P and Q plus all three outputs
(P>Q, P<Q, and P = Q) are equipped with latches
to provide the designer with temporary data
storage for avoiding race conditions. The enable
circuitry is implemented with minimal delay times
to enhance performance when the devices are
cascaded for longer word lengths. Each latch is
transparent when the appropriate latch enable,
PLE, QLE, or OLE is high.

The enable inputs PLE and QLE and data inputs
P and Q utilize pnp input transistors to reduce the
low-level input current requirement to typically
–0.25 mA, which minimizes loading effects.
The Q register may be cleared to zero for a fast comparison of the P word to zero.
The SN54AS866 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C. The
SN74AS866A is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
