    Abstract: Memory devices might include control circuitry that, when checking for a match of a stored digit of data and a received digit of data, might be configured to cause the memory device to apply a first voltage level to a control gate of a first memory cell of a memory cell pair, apply a second voltage level different than the first voltage level to a control gate of a second memory cell of that memory cell pair, determine whether that memory cell pair is deemed to be activated or deactivated in response to applying the first and second voltage levels, and deem a match between the stored digit of data and a received digit of data in response, in part, to whether that memory cell pair is deemed to be deactivated.

    Abstract: Methods of operating a memory device include comparing input data to data stored in memory cells coupled to a data line, comparing a representation of a level of current in the data line to a reference, and determining that the input data potentially matches the data stored in the memory cells when the representation of the level of current in the data line is less than the reference. Methods of operating a memory device further include comparing input data to first data and to second data stored in memory cells coupled to a first data line or to a second data line, respectively, comparing representations of the levels of current in the first data line and in the second data line to a first reference and to a different second reference, and deeming one to be a closer match to the input data in response to results of the comparisons.

    Abstract: Methods include receiving a pattern to be searched in a memory having a plurality of sets of memory elements with each set coupled to a separate data line and corresponding to a same set of bit positions of the pattern. Methods further include receiving a pattern of data to be programmed into a memory, programming a first data state into one memory cell of each cell pair of a plurality of cell pairs of a memory array, and programing a second data state into another memory cell of each cell pair of the plurality of cell pairs for each bit position of the pattern. Memory configured to facilitate such methods include a plurality of cell pairs, each cell pair of the plurality of cell pairs programmed to store a same bit of data corresponding to a particular bit position of a pattern to be searched in the memory.

    Abstract: Methods for operating a memory, and memory configured to perform similar methods, include programming a first series string of memory cells of a first group of memory cells such that pairs of complementary memory cells have complementary states to provide a first minterm, the first minterm comprising a plurality of first variables wherein each variable is enabled responsive to a state of its respective memory cell, and programming a second series string of memory cells of a second group of memory cells such that pairs of complementary memory cells have complementary states to provide a second minterm, the second minterm comprising the first minterm that is enabled responsive to the state of its respective memory cell, the second minterm further comprising a plurality of second variables that are each enabled responsive to the state of their respective memory cell.
