Abstract

This paper proposes MFMCAM(Multi-Functional Multi-port CAM) which has several ports with same characteristic function. This device can process data faster than the conventional single port CAM. MFMCAM is superior to CAMs formed in parallel on the stand points of frequency and module resources. Two representative applications of MFMCAM, sorter and router, are also presented.
