ABSTRACT:
A content comparator memory (CCM) device can include a row (100) of CCM cells (102-1to102-I). Each CCM cell (102-1to102-I) can have a controllable signal path (104-1to104-I) arranged in series to form a match path (106) that provides a match indication MATCH that can be activated when a comparand value (CD[1:I]) is determined to match a stored data value. Each CCM cell (102-1to102-I) can also be commonly connected to a comparator line (110) that can provide a comparator indication CMP when a compare value (CD[1:I]) has a predetermined magnitude with respect to a stored value.
