Abstract:
The present invention provides a semiconductor device that can reduce the power consumption, including: a plurality of search memory cells arranged in a matrix; a plurality of match lines provided corresponding to each memory cell row to determine match/mismatch between data stored in the search memory cell and search data; a plurality of match line retention circuits provided corresponding to each of the match lines; a storage unit for storing information relating to the state of each of the match lines; and a selection circuit for selectively activating the match line retention circuits based on the information stored in the storage unit.

Claim (Index 4):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a power supply line for supplying power supply voltage,\n wherein each of the match line retention circuits includes a capacitance element, wherein the selection circuit includes: a first switch for electrically coupling the capacitance element and the corresponding match line based on the information stored in the storage unit; and a second switch that operates in a complementary manner to the first switch to electrically couple the capacitance element and the power supply line, based on the information stored in the storage unit.
