    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ternary CAM memory(contents address-able memory) which can be designed as an integrated circuit library cell being able to be incorporated in a user device. SOLUTION: In a CAM memory storing data words, bits of the data words can take a neutral logic value other than two complement logic value. The CAM memory includes a matrix(MA) of a memory cell. In this matrix, one pair of cell is allotted to each bit which can take ternary constitution. Access can be enabled so that circuits CT1-CT3, WR, SR; CT11-SR1, CT21-SR2 for controlling the access of a memory matrix performs comparison during CAM mode operation or data is written or read by direct address specifying in RAM mode.
