ABSTRACT:
A data selection apparatus which performs selection processes in parallel is provided. The data selection apparatus includes search units and a unit output control device. Each of the search units includes table search circuits and a data output control circuit which selects the highest priority output data. The unit output control device selects the highest priority output data from outputs of the search units. A table search circuit which succeeds in a search sends a search success signal to the data output control circuit. The search unit including the data output control circuit sends a unit search success signal to the unit output control device before performing a selection process for the highest priority data.
