DM9324N

Comparators Overview

The DM9324N is a 5-bit magnitude comparator manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It compares two 5-bit binary words and provides three active-high outputs indicating whether the first input is less than, greater than, or equal to the second. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. Key electrical specifications include a propagation delay time of 30 ns and a minimum operating temperature of 0°C. It is housed in a 16-pin Dual In-Line Package (DIP) suitable for through-hole mounting.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Provides simultaneous comparison results for less than, greater than, and equal to conditions between two 5-bit inputs
• Features expandable architecture allowing cascading for wider bit comparisons
• Delivers active-high output signals for direct logic interface compatibility

Comparators Applications

• Digital data comparison circuits
• Address decoding systems
• Magnitude checking in control logic

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the component was originally produced by National Semiconductor and later acquired by Fairchild Semiconductor, which is now part of onsemi. Confirm the package type is 16-PDIP and check RoHS compliance status for current production runs. Ensure the datasheet matches the specific revision required for your design constraints.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated 5-bit magnitude comparison function is required with active-high outputs. Consider the 30 ns propagation delay for timing analysis in your circuit. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range aligns with your system power rails. The DIP-16 package is suitable for prototyping or applications requiring through-hole assembly.

Comparators Part Context

The DM9324N belongs to the 9324 series of expandable comparators. This family includes variants such as the DM9324DM. These components are designed for digital logic applications requiring reliable magnitude comparison. The series supports cascading to handle larger word sizes while maintaining signal integrity across multiple stages.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 5-bit comparators from the same logical family, such as the DM9324DM. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Ensure the replacement component meets the same voltage and temperature requirements.
