Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically writing non-matching data to a non-valid location within a Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is disclosed. The non-valid locations are determined simultaneously with a search process for a matching address, so that in the event of a non-match, the new data can be written to the invalid locations in a single clock cycle.
