3. The comparator is a circuit that compares two 4 bit
binary numbers.
Let A and B are two binary numbers. The output of
the circuit tells us
A=B or A<B or A>B
4-bit Comparator
5. First let A and B are same
A=1010 B=1010 (here A=B)
Now Let A is less than B
A=0011 and B=0100
Let A is greater than B
A=1111(15) and B=1110 (14)

8. The simplest multi-bit logic comparator, and can be
used for such circuits as electronic locks and security
devices where a binary password consisting of
multiple bits is input to the comparator to be
compared with another pre-set word.
