MC14585BD Application Field and Working Principle

The MC14585BD is a device belonging to the Comparator family of function found in the Logic group of components. There are several applications where this device makes the best choice of component, although it is mostly used in signal switching applications. Let’s take a closer look at the device and the ways it is used within electrical and electronic circuitry.

The Device’s Construction

The MC14585BD is a dual input, dual output comparator. The device is created using advanced Bipolar CMOS technologies. The outputs are with TTL/CMOS compatible switch. It is a composite package organization with a total of fourteen leads. The internals of the device are made from two independent differential pairs and non-inverting amplifier.

Purpose and Use of the MC14585BD

The primary role of the MC14585BD is used as a signal sensing or data transmission switch. It can be used in a variety of applications as a means to sense and compare two input signals arriving at a device. It can also be used as part of a network such as a data transmission or a telephone system. It can also be used in conjunction with alarms and circuits that respond to user input and process the data.

The Working Principle of the MC14585BD

The working principle behind the MC14585BD is very simply and consists of two independent differential pairs, one pair to detect the two input signals and the other to compare the absolute values of the signals. The device contains two differential amplifiers, one to amplify the differences between the two inputs and the other for the comparison of the signals. The output of the amplifiers is compared against each other and if the outputs are not equal, then the output will be converted to a logic output.

Conclusion

The MC14585BD is a sophisticated device capable of comparing and detecting the differences in signals with precise accuracy. Its advanced CMOS technology ensures reliable and precise detection and can be used in almost any signal or data processing system. The unique combination of components used to build this device is such that it offer superior performance in comparison to most other dual output of dual input devices in this market.
