摘要:
The invention is a dynamic storage device (Figs. 3-10) requiring periodic refresh, and including logical operation circuitry (e.g., 21 and 24 of Fig.4) within the refresh circuitry (19 of Fig. 4). The individual storage positions of the storage device are periodically read by a refresh amplifier (RE of Fig. 4), and then a logical operation is performed on the refresh data before the data is applied to the write amplifier (WR of Fig. 4). This operation allows implementation of associative data base searching by cyclically executing data compare and other logical operations within the refresh circuitry. Storage systems for use with such devices (e.g., Fig. 12) are also disclosed.

A semiconductor memory device has memory cells for storing data, sense amplifiers for amplifying the stored data, and cache cells in which the amplified data can be placed for quick recall. The cache cells can continue to hold data during memory-cell refresh cycles, permitting the cached data to be accessed quickly afterward. The cache cells may be coupled to column data lines that can be disconnected from the sense amplifiers, enabling memory cells to be refreshed while cache access is in progress. Write buffers may be provided so that when cache data are replaced, the old cache data can be copied back to the memory cells while the new cache data are being accessed.

A semiconductor memory circuit is arranged with an ordinary crosspoint row-column array (100) of dynamic capacitor memory storage cells. Word serial content addressing is enable by adding a separate combinational logic device (101-105), only one such device for each entire column bit line, thereby reducing the number of elements normally required to achieved such addressing.
摘要:
A memory circuit using dynamic random access memory (DRAM) arrays. The DRAM arrays can be configured as CAMs or RAMs on the same die, with the control circuitry for performing comparisons located outside of the DRAM arrays. In addition, DRAM arrays can be configured for secure authentication where, after the first authentication performed with a non-volatile secure element, subsequent authentications can be performed by the DRAM array.

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to performing compare and/or report operations using sensing circuitry. An example method can include charging an input/output (IO) line of a memory array to a voltage. The method can include determining whether data stored in the memory array matches a compare value. The determination of whether data stored matches a compare value can include activating a number of access lines of the memory array. The determination can include sensing a number of memory cells coupled to the number of access lines. The determination can include sensing whether the voltage of the IO line changes in response to activation of selected decode lines corresponding to the number of memory cells.

The range-specified IP addresses are effectively stored to reduce the number of necessary entries thereby the memory capacity of TCAM is improved. The representative means of the present invention is that: the storage information (entry) and the input information (comparison information or search key) are the common block code such that any bit must be the logical value '1'; Match-lines are hierarchically structured and memory cells are arranged at the intersecting points of a plurality of sub-match lines and a plurality of search lines; Further the sub-match lines are connected to main-match lines through the sub-match detectors, respectively and main-match detectors are arranged on the main-match lines.

Un circuit de mémoire à semi-conducteurs est disposé avec un réseau ordinaire de rangées et de colonnes à croisement (100) de cellules de stockage de mémoire à condensateur dynamique. L'adressage du contenu sériel des mots est validé par l'addition d'un dispositif logique combinatoire séparé (101-105), un seul dispositif similaire pour chaque ligne entière de bit de colonne, ce qui réduit le nombre d'éléments normalement requis pour effectuer un tel adressage.
摘要:
CPUs are not effective for search processing for information on a memory. Content-addressable memories (CAMs) are effective for information searches, but it is difficult to build a large-capacity memory usable for big data using the CAMs. A large-capacity memory may be turned into an active memory having an information search capability comparable to that of a content-addressable memory (CAM) by incorporating an extremely small, single-bit-based parallel logical operation unit into a common memory. With this memory, a super fast in-memory database capable of fully parallel searches may be realized.
摘要:
Apparatuses and methods related to comparing data patterns in memory. An example method can include comparing a number of data patterns stored in a memory array to a target data pattern. The method can include determining whether a data pattern of the number of data patterns matches the target data pattern without transferring data from the memory array via an input/output (I/O) line.
