ABSTRACT:
A multi-functional match cell is responsive to first and second n-bit operands and configured so that the match cell operates as an n-bit range match cell when the first and second n-bit operands are equivalent, as an n-bit NOR-type CAM cell when the second n-bit operand is masked and as an n-bit NAND-type CAM cell when the first n-bit operand is masked, where “n” is a positive integer greater than one.
