Abstract
In order to provide a technique for reducing an area of a content addressable memory cell and suppressing a leak current in a content addressable memory which calculates similarity, a content addressable memory cell of the present invention, comprising: a resistance network which includes plural current paths, a logic circuit for selecting a current path in response to input data, and a variable-resistance-type non-volatile memory element that is arranged on at least one current path and stores data and whose resistance value is changed according to a result of logical calculation based on the input data and the stored data; and a charge/discharge circuit which is connected with the resistance network and a match line and whose delay time from inputting a signal through the match line until outputting the signal is changed according to the result of logical calculation based on the input data and the stored data.
