Abstract
An associative memory carries out a search operation in plural fields. The search data-through-in fields, r in number, are supplied to the primary associative memories-through-. The i-th primary associative memory-carries out the search operation, produces the primary match line--through--, and maintains the state of logical AND operation by every word of the primary match line--through--, the secondary match line--through--, and memory means m-j when primary search enabling signal-is in a valid state. Supplied with the states maintained in the stored information in each word and memory means, the primary associative memory-provides the intermediate data-. The secondary associative memory-with words, m in number, searches for the intermediate data-and produces the secondary match line--through--when secondary search enabling signal-I is in a valid state. The match signal-through-with the logical operation by every word of the secondary match line are suppried exteriorly.
