ABSTRACT:
A Random Access Memory (RAM) based Content Addressable Memory (CAM) architecture is disclosed. In an implementation, the CAM architecture includes a CAM data structure associated with a RAM to store one or more tags and associated data values. Each of the tags includes one or more bit fields which are utilized as an index for referencing a look-up table. One or more look-up tables may be realized for supporting memory operations facilitating efficient transfer modes available in the RAM.
