MEMORY DEVICES FOR PATTERN MATCHING

Abstract:

Memory devices might include a plurality of memory cell pairs each configured to be programmed to store a digit of data; and control circuitry configured to cause the memory device to compare the stored digit of data of each memory cell pair to a received digit of data, determine whether a match condition or a no-match condition is indicated between the stored digit of data of each memory cell pair and the received digit of data, and deem a match condition to be met between the received digit of data and the stored digits of data of the plurality of memory cell pairs in response to a match condition being determined for a majority of memory cell pairs of the plurality of memory cell pairs.
