Patent abstract
Configurations and methods that enable the testing of CAM-specific circuitry, even if the memory is defective, are implemented by utilizing various test modes. Accordingly, the CAM can be debugged to isolate memory failures from priority encoder failures, which significantly reduces the need for design changes. The present invention provides the ability to test the CAM functions very efficiently, thereby reducing the test time.
