EXPERIMENT 8

Aim: Verilog Implementation of 2-bit, 4-bit 8-bit comparators

Important Concept/ Theory:
A magnitude digital Comparator is a combinational circuit that compares two digital or binary numbers in order
to find out whether one binary number is equal, less than or greater than the other binary number. We logically
design a circuit for which we will have two inputs one for A and other for B and have three output terminals,
one for A > B condition, one for A = B condition and one for A < B condition.

2-bit Comparator:

Table 1: Truth Table for 2-bit Comparator
Logical Equations:
A>B:A1B1’ + A0B1’B0’ + A1A0B0’
A=B: A1’A0’B1’B0’ + A1’A0B1’B0 + A1A0B1B0 +
A1A0’B1B0’
: A1’B1’ (A0’B0’ + A0B0) + A1B1 (A0B0 +
A0’B0’)
: (A0B0 + A0’B0’) (A1B1 + A1’B1’)
: (A0 Ex-Nor B0) (A1 Ex-Nor B1)
A<B:A1’B1 + A0’B1B0 + A1’A0’B0
