Abstract
A method and a sum addressed content-addressable memory (CAM) compare are provided for implementing an enhanced sum address compare function. True and compliment bit signals applied to the CAM compare are encoded by combining respective ones of the applied true and compliment bit signals. Then the encoded true and compliment bit signals are applied to a critical path dynamic compare circuit. An encoder apparatus encodes true and compliment bit signals that then are applied to the dynamic compare circuit in the critical path.
