Abstract
Methods of operating a memory device include comparing input data to data stored in strings of series-connected memory cells coupled to a data line, generating a respective resistance in series with each string of series-connected memory cells while comparing the plurality of digits of input data to the stored data, comparing a representation of a level of current in the data line to a reference, deeming the input data to match the stored data in response to the representation of the level of current in the data line being less than the reference, and deeming the input data to not match the stored data in response to the representation of the level of current in the data line being greater than the reference.
