摘要: The present invention relates to a CAM/RAM memory device with scalable structure CAM (Content Addressable Memory) mode and RAM (Random Access mode, where selectable parts of the cells can be masked off for reading writing may performed directly through an address decoder in mode. is divided into blocks ( 1 ), each having number rows. 2 ) connected by word lines 3 row multiplexer 4 adapted select which block read data from. further includes blocking means when match such that several parallel hits different without generating invalid read-out.
