Abstract
A Content Addressable Memory array includes a plurality of coupled sub-blocks arranged in rows and columns. Search data received by a first sub-block in a first column of the CAM is propagated to each sub-block in the row to the last sub-block in the last column of the CAM. The search result for the CAM is selected based on the propagated search results for each row of sub-blocks and output on a side of the array opposite from the side receiving the search data.
