Abstract

A Content Addressable Memory (CAM) architecture is disclosed wherein at least part of an access key is unconditionally written to a CAM memory location. This unconditional writing is performed while accessing a set of CAM memory locations for the purposes of matching the access key. This writing is performed regardless of whether a match to the access key is found.
