Abstract:
1. Electronic component including a ternary content-addressable memory component configured to compare the input data with a set of pre-recorded reference memory words, with the memory component incorporating a matrix of elementary cells arranged in lines and columns; each line incorporates cells in each of which is recorded one bit of one of the reference data words; the cells of a given column are dedicated to the comparison of the same bit of the input data word; each cell includes: two memory points storing the data representing the reference data bit; one comparison circuit connected to the memory points, with a comparison point of which the potential represents the comparison of the input data bit and the data stored in the memory points, and also incorporating a common comparison circuit to which the comparison circuits of all or part of the cells of a given column; the comparison circuit incorporates terminals to which the bit from the input data word and its complement are applied.
