    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To search a large quantity of search targets (contents) at high speed. SOLUTION: A little circuits (a distributor 12 and a controller 13 for search) are added inside the memory. For a search, the algorithm of a quick search, for example, is utilized, memory cells are repeatedly read, the read results are compared and a compare target is narrowed down on the basis of the compared (sized) result. Valid data can be obtained approximately for the middle bus time and cycle time in the conventional case of repeatedly reading the memory. Since comparison and the generation of the address of the next memory cell can be performed in the latter half of the cycle time, the search can be completed just for the bus time of 'the number of times of repeated read of memory cells' + 'one time'. As a result, a CAM function capable of having not several hundreds to several thousands of entry data like a conventional CAM but the number of entry data dividing the size of a DRAM with the number of banks, namely, several tens of thousands of or more entry data can be achieved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform seamless access by specifying a bank to be accessed, specifying an address of the data to be accessed in the bank to be accessed, changing the bank specified with a bank specification means in a prescribed order and changing the address specified with an address specification means in the range of the prescribed number of data. SOLUTION: Respective banks are connected to a bank register 32 through an. address register 42 and a decoder 26, and the data of the address specified by the address register 42 of the bank specified by the bank register 32 are outputted. The addresses of the data to be accessed for every bank are stored in the address register 42, and further an increment counter 44 is connected to the address register 42. The increment counter 44 rewrites the information of the address register 42 to the next address of the accessed data, when the access to the data shown by the address register 42 is executed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an MRAM having a sense amplifier in which hardly any sense current flows into an MTJ element and hardly any voltage is applied and a potential difference that appears on a bit line pair is amplified at a high speed.
    SOLUTION: A sense amplifier 18 comprises cyclically connected CMOS inverters 20 and 22; a P channel MOS transistor TP1 which shuts off power supply during standby and N channel MOS transistors TN5 and TN6 which are used to initialize the outputs of the sense amplifier during standby. A ground terminal 204 of the inverter 20 is connected to a bit line BLT through a transistor TN3 of a bit switch 4 and a ground terminal 224 of the inverter 22 is connected to a bit line BLC through a transistor TN4 of the bit switch 4.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To much more efficiently achieve data registration in a data table and data retrieval from the data table.
    SOLUTION: Data registration in a data table (3) in which the first item data are registered with the corresponding second item data and data retrieval from the data table is executed by using a first pointer table (1) in which a pointer to a portion of registered data in the data table is registered at a storage position shown by a hash value obtained by applying a first hash function (6) to the first item data of the registered data and a second pointer table (2) in which the pointer is registered at a storage position shown by a hash value obtained by applying a second hash function (22) to the first item data of the registered data.
