Associative-Search Bubble Devices for Content-Addressable Memory and Array Logic
Abstract
Bubble latches (switches with memory capability) provide very simple associative-search devices in shift-register type memories. Such devices allow a simple implementation of content-addressable memories (CAM's), only requiring small addition of area, circuits, and interconnections to those of a conventional shift-register memory. Moreover, such devices, in combination with a multiinput or circuit, implements a versatile logic array. Copyright © 1979 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
