Memory including search logic

Abstract:

A memory includes a memory array comprising a plurality of pages and a page buffer. The page buffer includes first registers, second registers, compare logic, and third registers. The first registers store data read from a page of the memory array. The second registers store a user pattern. The compare logic compares the data stored in the first registers to the user pattern stored in the second registers. The third registers store the comparison results.
