ABSTRACT:
A method of finding errors in a content addressable memory (CAM) and a CAM cell array, the CAM being capable of finding errors in the CAM cell array, is disclosed. The CAM includes the CAM cell array having a plurality of CAM cells and a match line state storing unit. The match line state storing unit is connected to a word line and a match line of the plurality of CAM cells and has a plurality of state cells in which a logic level of stored data is changed according to a logic level of the match line. Errors in the CAM cell array are found by reading data stored in the plurality of state cells. The data stored in the plurality of state cells are matched when there are no errors in the CAM cell array.
