What is the correct answer for the 4 bit magnitude comparator homework?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a homework problem related to a 4-bit magnitude comparator, focusing on determining the correct answer based on given conditions and inputs.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that if A = 1, options (A) and (C) are incorrect, proposing that the answer is (E).
  • Another participant infers from a figure that the input at Y is at least twice that of the input at X, leading them to conclude that F is TRUE.
  • There is a query about the scenario when all inputs are zero, indicating a condition that may affect the outcomes.
  • A later reply confirms the concern about the all-zeroes condition.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express uncertainty regarding the implications of the all-zeroes condition, and there is no consensus on the correct answer to the homework problem.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully explored the implications of the conditions under which the comparator operates, particularly regarding the all-zeroes scenario.

The Attempt at a Solution


As long as A = 1, its true, So options (A) and (C) are wrong. My ans is (E). Right?[/B]

As far as I can guess from the figure, the input at Y is at least twice that of the input at X (left shift). Thus F is TRUE.
 
Except when all zeroes right?
