Abstract
An associative storage comprises two data transmission paths each of which includes a self-running shift register formed in loop fashion. In the respective data transmission paths, data packets each having identification data are transmitted to respective stages of the shift register. The identification data are extracted from the data packets transmitted on the shift registers and compared with each other in a comparing circuit. If and when the identification data of two data packets respectively transmitted on the respective transmission paths are coincident, those two data packets are determined as the data packets to be paired. The data packet pair is read from the data transmission paths.
