Patent number: 10852972Abstract: There is provided a retrieval memory that can easily manage address information. A retrieval memory which retrieves whether or not inputted retrieval data matches entry data stored in a memory cell array and outputs address information corresponding to matched entry data includes a plurality of retrieval blocks and an output control unit for outputting the address information. The address information includes a block address for specifying at least one of the retrieval blocks and a logical address corresponding to entry data in the specified retrieval block. The output control unit outputs address information that is reset so that the address information corresponding to the entry data becomes continuous in an address space based on a size of the entry data.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Takeo Miki

Patent number: 10297291Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device that can reduce the power consumption. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of sub-blocks each including a memory cell array, and a plurality of sub-search units corresponding to the respective sub-blocks. Of the data stored in each row of the memory cell array, each sub-block searches for data that matches the input search data according to a search instruction, and outputs a search result indicating hit or miss for each row. Each sub-search unit includes a flag data generation part that generates flag data for presearch to compare with part of the input search data based on the data stored in the corresponding memory cell array, and a search part that compares part of the input search data with the flag data generated by the flag data generation part, and outputs the search instruction to the corresponding sub-block based on the comparison result.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Takeo Miki, Yuji Yano, Hideaki Abe

Patent number: 10203892Abstract: A semiconductor device that includes a memory system is configured to accept input of search data and to search in parallel respective rows of a memory cell array such as a CAM and so forth for data held in a memory. The memory system detects whether an inflow amount of the search data that is input is at least a fixed amount by monitoring a packing ratio of an FIFO buffer that a search command is held. The memory system controls a speed of search processing by dividing the memory cell array into blocks and setting each block as a search processing object in accordance with a result of detection.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Takeo Miki
