Abstract
A memory device might include control circuitry configured to cause the memory device to compare input data to data stored in memory cells connected to a data line, cause a first level of current to flow from the data line in response to a mismatch between one digit of the input data and data stored in a respective pair of memory cells, cause a second level of current to flow from the data line in response to a mismatch between a different digit of the input data and the data stored in a respective pair of memory cells, compare a representation of a level of current in the data line to a reference, and deem the input data to potentially match or not match the data stored in the plurality of memory cells in response to the comparison.
