Abstract
A content addressable memory (CAM) device () may include a number of blocks (-[11]) that each generate CAM search results and result compare circuits (-[11] that receive CAM search results from multiple blocks (-[11]), and compare at least a portion of such CAM search results. According to such a comparison result, a compare circuit (-[11]) can generate an output CAM search result for subsequent comparison with CAM search result in another compare circuit (-[−11]).
