ABSTRACT:
A search engine system (100) can include a key multiplexer (104) and logic circuit (108). A key from a previous operation can be received by logic circuit (108) and altered to generate an idle key. In a non-search operation, the idle key can be applied to a CAM section to draw current as in a normal search operation. Logic circuit (108) can ensure that an idle key value is always different than a previously applied key value.
