Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods of operating a memory include storing a value of an attribute of a feature vector to a pair of memory cells by programming each of the memory cells to a respective data state of three or more data states, searching for an exact match to a particular value of the attribute by applying respective voltage levels to control gates of the memory cells to activate both memory cells only when the value of the attribute is the particular value, and searching for an inexact match to the particular value of the attribute by applying respective voltage levels to control gates of the memory cells to activate both memory cells when the value of the attribute is within a range of possible values of the attribute including the particular value.
