Abstract
An associative memory device is cascade-connected to form an associative memory. The associative memory device includes a retrieval result register for storing a retrieval result of the lo associative memory device and the retrieval result of the associative memory devices of an upstream side of the associative memory device. An identification code register stores an identification code that indicates whether the associative memory device is a last stage associative memory device of the cascade-connected associative memory devices. If the associative memory device is the last stage associative memory device, the retrieval result stored in the retrieval result register is output. The associative memory outputs the retrieval result only when a signal instructing an output of the retrieval result is received.
