It is suspected that the comparator in the figure given below has a problem. The inputs are activated in the table shown below and the corresponding outputs noted. What is most likely wrong with the circuit? For P0 – P3 = 1 and Q0 – Q3 = 0, P > Q = 1, P = Q = 1, P < Q = 0 For P0 – P3 = 0 and Q0 – Q3 = 1, P > Q = 0, P = Q = 1, P < Q = 1 For P0 – P3 = 1 and Q0 – Q3 = 1, P > Q = 0, P = Q = 1, P < Q = 0

• The P0–P3 inputs are defective.
• One or more of the Q inputs is bad.
• The P = Q output is shorted to Vcc.
• Nothing is wrong; the circuit is functioning properly.
