Abstract

Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes first register circuits configured to store a first address, and a comparing circuit configured to compare the first address with a second address. The comparing circuit includes first and second circuit sections. In a first operation mode, the comparing circuit is configured to activate a match signal when the first circuit section detects that the first bit group of the first address matches with the third bit group of the second address and the second circuit section detects that the second bit group of the first address matches with the fourth bit group of the second address. In a second operation mode, the comparing circuit is configured to activate the match signal when the first circuit section detects that the first bit group matches with the third bit group regardless of the second and fourth bit groups.
