摘要: A modified binary content addressable memory (CAM) (700) having a fast variable prefix matching capability is disclosed. The CAM includes cells (702(0,0) to 702(n,m)), each of which store/compare circuit (704(0,0) 704(n,m)) for storing data value and comparing the comparand value. In addition, cell 702(n,m)) further multiplexer (MUX) (706(0,0) 706(n,m)). Each MUX 706(n,m)) receives non-shifted from previous row same column, shifted an adjacent column. circuits enable be as it applied consecutive values.
