ABSTRACT:
In a first embodiment of a CAM (Content Addressable Memory) or cache memory of the present invention disclosed herein, comparing information stored in a memory cell with comparison input information is accomplished in a comparison circuit without first converting a readout current from the memory cell into voltage information. In another embodiment, a matching detection between first stored information outputted from a first memory cell array and second stored information outputted from a second memory cell array is accomplished by an integrally formed sensing and matching detection circuit which is characterized as having both sensing and matching detection capabilities. That is, the sensing and matching detection circuit senses both stored information and thereafter detects matching based on a sensing result.
