See full text

A content addressable memory system includes one retrieval sense amplifier provided in common with a plurality of memory words. A logic operation between a result of retrieval outputted from the sense amplifier and the result of a preceding retrieval stored in a one-bit working register provided for the same sense amplifier is carried out by a control gate also provided for the same sense amplifier, and the result of the logic operation is stored back in the same working register. A plurality of working registers may be provided for each control gate and sense amplifier. The content addressable memory system can retrieve a variable word length data and can be realized with a reduced circuit area.
