ABSTRACT:
Within a content addressable memory, the latency in a memory access is reduced by combining the steps of effective address generation addition and searching within the content-addressable memory. Two inputs to the content-addressable memory are conditioned and then supplied to matching cells, which determine which address stored in the content-addressable memory will be output. This is accomplished without a full adder being implemented to add the two input operands before being supplied to the content-addressable memory.
