Abstract:
A read operation and a search operation are performed during the same cycle within a CAM system including a CAM array by: (1) forcing a non-matching condition to exist in the row of the CAM array selected for the read operation, (2) comparing the read data value with the search data value outside of the CAM array to determine whether a match exists, and (3) prioritizing the results of the search operation performed within the CAM array and the results of the comparison performed outside of the CAM array to provide a final search result.
