ABSTRACT:
A quasi content addressable memory circuit including a CAM section, a RAM section, and a comparator. A first part of an incoming comparand is applied to the CAM section, while a second part of the incoming comparand is applied to the comparator. If there is a favorable comparison within the CAM section with the first part of the comparand, the CAM section develops a pointer which addresses the RAM. The output of the RAM is then compared to the second part of the comparand and, if a favorable comparison is made, a match flag is developed. Also disclosed are circuits for handling multiple responses by the CAM section, and a practical comparator RAM which combines the functions of the comparator and the RAM of the quasi content addressable memory circuit.
