Abstract
A technique for performing address translation that requires less logic and programming than conventional address translation techniques is described. The technique uses a CAM to perform address translation. The CAM is configured such that it contains key values that are representative of the address values to be translated. Associated with these key values are data values that representative of the translated address value. The address to be translated is applied to the CAM and if a matching key value is found, the data associated with the key value is output by the CAM.
