ABSTRACT:
An apparatus with improved response-time of a content addressable memory (CAM) directory table is obtained by replacing multi-stage domino TAG comparator and detection means with a single stage TAG comparator and detector for each TAG table entry. The improved response results from the use of a common ORed comparator output together with a small signal sense amplifier for the detection of the onset of a hit or miss. The single stage comparator and detector is suitable for use in cache memories including full associative, direct mapped, set associative and sector mapped caches.
