Abstract
A table device includes a match cell number output unitfor outputting a match cell number showing a cell PE which outputs a matching signal, and an address decoderfor specifying a node from among nodes in a search tree which construct a conversion table, the node corresponding to the match cell number. The table device acquires a data conversion value assigned to the above-mentioned node from a configuration memory, and, when the data conversion value is data showing a coded result or the like, outputs the data conversion value to outside the table device, whereas when the data conversion value is a branch code of the search tree, updates the cell PE to which a comparison instruction signal is furnished.
