    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory device used particularly for an associative memory, a method for operating the associative memory, and a system including the associative memory. SOLUTION: The memory device for storing one or a plurality of addresses includes a coincidence line and first and second memory cells forming a two-bit memory cell. Each memory cell includes two memory elements connected to the coincidence line, and a selection line connected there. The selection line provides a signal expression of logical combinations of at least two different inputs. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a random access memory in which current scattering, voltage drops and heat generation related to the access of blocks in first and second storage units of a double memory unit are stabilized. SOLUTION: The memory is arranged between first and second storage units 220 and 222 and include a row selection unit 224 which conducts accesses to the storage places of the units 220 and 222 in accordance with first and second selection signals that are transmitted from the external side end section of the double memory unit to the selected row places. Different numbers are assigned to the blocks located at the distances corresponding from the external side end section so that the sum of the lengths of the propagation of the first and the second selection signals to the numbered blocks is maintained in a relatively constant manner regardless of the block number selected for the access.

    Abstract: Improved transistor array device performance is obtained by use of bias voltage regulation which tracks with a fraction of a monitor transistor threshold voltage. The circuitry and methods are especially useful for improving the performance of transistor array devices such as DRAM and embedded DRAM. These benefits are obtained especially when at least two bias voltages normally supplied to the array are regulated by tracking with a fraction of an actual threshold voltage of at least one monitor transistor. Performance improvements include improved reliability, wider operational bias conditions, reduced power consumption and (in the case of memory cells) improved retention time.
