Abstract
A memory device for in-memory search is provided. The memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, and each of the memory cells stores a stored data and receives a search data, including a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor has a first threshold voltage and receives a first gate bias. The second transistor is connected to the first transistor, and the second transistor has a second threshold voltage and receives a second gate bias. The stored data is encoded according to the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage, and the search data is encoded according to the first gate bias and the second gate bias. There is a mismatch distance between the stored data and the search data. An output current generated by each of the memory cells is related to the mismatch distance.
