Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A time-division memory control device configured to control a content addressable memory (CAM), the time-division memory control device comprising:
a time-division controller configured to generate multiple groups of control signals according to a system clock in a search and compare operation, wherein the multiple groups of control signals include a first group of control signals and a second group of control signals, the time-division controller outputs the first group of control signals at a first time point and outputs the second group of control signals at a second time point later than the first time point; and
a plurality of peripheral circuits configured to cooperate with a CAM cell array of the CAM, wherein the plurality of peripheral circuits include a first peripheral circuit including:
a first group of circuits configured to cooperate with a first group of CAM cells of the CAM cell array according to the first group of control signals; and
a second group of circuits configured to cooperate with a second group of CAM cells of the CAM cell array according to the second group of control signals, wherein the second group of CAM cells does not include any CAM cell of the first group of CAM cells.
