Abstract
To avoid hash table collisions, such as in response to sequential addresses, a hash module is provided that includes a first multiplexer that, responsive to a control signal, outputs received data on one of two or more scramblers. The scramblers are configured to selectively receive the selected data output from the first multiplexer and perform a scrambler operation on the selected data to generate scrambled data. A second multiplexer outputs the scrambled data to a first hash module configured to performs a hash function on the scrambled data to generate a hash value. A second hash module, responsive to a collision occurring in the first hash module, perform a hash function on the scrambled data received from the first hash module. The use of a scrambler reduces collisions in the hash module outputs over time and multiple scramblers may be used to further reduce collisions.
