MU9C4320L ATMCAM
General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This capability provides support for both VPCs and VCCs,
and halves the number of cycles needed to compare VPI
and VCI information. A set of control states provides a
powerful and flexible control interface to the ATMCAM.
This control structure allows memory read and write,
register read and write, data move, comparison, validity
control, addressing control, and initialization operations.
The MU9C4320L ATMCAM is a 4K x 32 Content
Addressable Memory (CAM) with a 32-bit wide data
interface. The device is designed for use in ATM switches
and routers to provide very high throughput VPI/VCI
translation through lookup tables held in external RAM.
VPI/VCI fields from the ATM cell header are compared
against a list of current connections stored in the CAM
array. As a result of the comparison, the ATMCAM
generates an address that is used to access an external
RAM where VPI/VCI mapping data and other information
associated with the connection are stored.
The ATMCAM architecture uses a non-multiplexed data
bus, direct hardware control of the device, and an
independent bus for returning match results. Software
control is also supported for systems where optimum
performance is not needed.
The ATMCAM simultaneously compares the VPI/VCI in
the CAM array as well as the VPI in a separate VP table.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
The ATMCAM is designed to act as an address translator
for lookup tables in ATM switch and router systems. It
takes incoming VP/VC identifiers in ATM cell headers
and generates addresses that access data in an external
RAM. The RAM holds translated VPI/VCI information
and other data relating to the particular connection. Refer
to Figure 2 for a simplified block diagram of an ATM
switch.
With the connection established, the controller strips the
VPI/VCI information off an arriving cell to form the
Comparand, which is then compared against the contents
of the ATMCAM. The ATMCAM generates an address
that is used to access the VPI/VCI mapping data in the
external RAM. The controller reads the data from the
RAM and prefixes the translated header to the cell
payload.
When a new connection is set up, the VPI/VCI of the
connection is written to the ATMCAM. The write cycle
can be to either a specific address within the device, or to
the next free address. The address at which the write takes
place is driven onto the Output Address bus, so VPI/VCI
mapping data can be written simultaneously into the
external RAM at the correct address.
If the switch operates on VPI only, as well as on full VPI/
VCI, the ATMCAM can compare both the VPI and VPI/
VCI fields simultaneously. The option to test VPI fields is
selected in the Configuration register of the ATMCAM.
When selected, the VPI field is used to form an address
that accesses a single-bit RAM array in the ATMCAM.
This area of memory is referred to as the VP Table, and
holds a single bit of information indicating the validity of
a VP value.

Operational Overview
MU9C4320L ATMCAM
reset either with an address or an associative match.
Therefore, when a new VPI/VCI entry is written to the
CAM, its Validity bit is set valid.
The VP Table contains 4K entries, corresponding to the 12
bits in the VPI field of the ATM header. In a multiple
device system, only the lowest-priority device holds the
VP Table. A hit in the VP Table takes lower priority than a
match in the CAM array where the VPI/VCI fields are
compared associatively. If there is a mismatch in the CAM
array, but a hit in the VP Table, the VPI value is driven
onto the Address Output bus. Flags indicate whether a
CAM match or VP Table hit has occurred.
When a connection is removed, the Validity bit for that
entry is reset, and the address of the location is driven onto
the Active Address bus. This simple mechanism allows
easy maintenance of the connection list in both the CAM
array and the external RAM.
The ATMCAM supports simple daisy chained vertical
cascading that serves to prioritize multiple devices and
provides system-level match and full indication. If the
slight timing overhead associated with the daisy chain is
unacceptable in the fastest systems, the ATMCAM is
designed to facilitate external prioritization across
multiple devices.
The VP Table eliminates the need to do two sequential
compares, one on the full VPI/VCI fields, and the other on
the VPI fields. The test of both sets of fields is
accomplished by the ATMCAM in a single compare cycle.
The validity of a location in the CAM array is determined
by an extra bit called the Validity bit. This bit is set and

Pin Descriptions
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Note: Signal names that start with a slash (“/”) are active LOW. All signals are 3.3V CMOS level. Never leave inputs floating. The
CAM architecture draws large currents during compare operations, mandating the use of good layout and bypassing techniques. Refer
to the Electrical Characteristics section for more information.
DQ31–0 (Data Bus, Three-state, Common
Input/Output)
AA11–0 (Active Address, Output)
The AA11–0 lines convey the CAM Match address, the
VP Table address, the Next Free address, or Random
Access address, depending on the most recent memory
cycle. The /OE input enables the AA11–0 outputs; when
the /OE input is HIGH, the AA11–0 outputs are in their
high-impedance state; when /OE is LOW the AA11–0
lines are active. In a vertically cascaded system after a
Comparison cycle, Write at Next Free Address cycle or
Read/Write at Highest-Priority match, only the
highest-priority device will enable its AA11–0 lines,
regardless of the state of the /OE input. In the event of a
mismatch in both CAM array and VP Table after a
Compare cycle, or after a Write at Next Free Address
cycle into an already full system, the lowest-priority
device will drive the AA11–0 lines with all 1s. The
AA11–0 lines are latched when /E is LOW, and are free to
change only when /E is HIGH.
The DQ31–0 lines convey data to and from the
ATMCAM. When the /E input is HIGH the DQ31–0 lines
are held in their high-impedance state. The /W input
determines whether data flows to or from the device on the
DQ31–0 lines. The source or destination of the data is
determined by the AC11–0 lines and the /AV line. During
a Write cycle, data on the DQ31–0 lines is registered by
the falling edge of /E.

lines are registered by the falling edge of /E. When

PA3–0 (Page Address, Output)
/AV (Address Valid, Input)
The PA3–0 lines convey Page Address information. When
the /OE input is HIGH, the PA3–0 outputs are in their
high-impedance state; when /OE is LOW the PA3–0 lines
carry the Page Address value held in the Configuration
register. The PA3–0 lines are latched when /E is LOW, and
are free to change only when /E is HIGH. The Page
Address value of the currently active or highest-priority
responding device is output at the same time, and under
the same conditions, as the AA11–0 lines are active.
When Hardware control is selected, the /AV input
determines whether the AC11–0 lines carry address or
control information. When /AV is LOW, the AC11–0 lines
convey a memory address; when /AV is HIGH, the
AC11–0 lines convey control information. The state of the
/AV line is registered by the falling edge of /E. When
software control is selected, the /AV line distinguishes
between instructions and data on the DQ31–0 lines; when
/AV is LOW, data is present on the DQ31–0 lines; when
/AV is HIGH, an instruction is present on the DQ11–0
lines.
/E (Chip Enable, Input)
The /E input is the main chip enable and synchronizing
control for the ATMCAM. When /E is HIGH, the chip is
disabled and the DQ31–0 lines are held in their
high-impedance state. The falling edge of /E registers the
/W, /CS1, /CS2, /AV, /AC11–0 lines, and the /VB and
DQ31–0 lines for a Write cycle. /E being LOW causes the
results of the previous comparison or memory access to be
latched on the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines; when /E goes HIGH
the latches open allowing the new comparison results or
random access memory address to flow to the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines.
/VB (Validity Bit, Three-state, Common
Input/Output)
During accesses over the DQ31–0 lines, the /VB line
conveys validity information to and from the ATMCAM.
During a Write cycle (/W=LOW), when /VB is LOW the
addressed location is set valid; when /VB is HIGH it is set
empty. During a Read cycle (/W=HIGH), the validity of
the addressed location is read on the /VB line. During a
Write cycle, the state of the /VB line is registered by the
falling edge of /E.
/CS1, /CS2 (Chip Select 1, Chip Select 2,
Inputs)
/MF (Match Flag, Output)
The /MF output indicates whether a valid match has
occurred during the previous Comparison cycle. If the
/MF output is HIGH at the end of a Comparison cycle,
then no match occurred; if it is LOW then either a match
occurred within the device, or the /MI input is LOW,
conditioned by the /MF output from a higher-priority
device in the system. The /MF line is used in conjunction
with the /MV line to indicate when a match occurred in the
CAM array or the VP Table. If /MF is LOW, then the
match occurred in the CAM array; if /MF is HIGH and
/MV is LOW, then the match occurred in the VP Table.
Both /MF and /MV lines are HIGH after a Compare cycle
that results in a mismatch. The state of the /MF line will
not change until after the rising edge of /E during the
Comparison cycle. Note that /MF indicates the results of
the most recent Comparison cycle; it will not change when
the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines carry an address other than the
Match address.
The /CS1 and /CS2 inputs enable the ATMCAM. If either
/CS1 or /CS2 are LOW, the device is selected for a Read,
Write, or Compare cycle through the DQ31–0 lines, or for
an internal data transfer. The /CS1 and /CS2 lines do not
have any effect on the PA3–0:AA11–0 outputs. The state
of the /CS1 and /CS2 lines is registered by the falling edge
of /E.
/W (Write Enable, Input)
The /W input determines the direction of data transfer on
the DQ31–0 lines during Read, Write, and Data Move
cycles. When /W is LOW, data flows into the DQ31–0
lines; when /W is HIGH, data flows out. The /W line also
conditions the control state present on the AC11–0 lines.
The state of the /W line is registered by the falling edge of
/E.
/OE (Output Enable, Input)
/MI (Match Input, Input)
The /OE input enables the PA3–0:AA11–0 outputs. When
/OE is HIGH, PA3–0:AA11–0 are in their high-impedance
state. When /OE is LOW, PA3–0:AA11–0 outputs are
active, and convey the results of the last Comparison
Cycle Match address or Memory Access address. In a
vertically cascaded system, only the PA3–0:AA11–0
outputs of the highest-priority device will be activated by
/OE being LOW; in lower-priority devices, the
PA3–0:AA11–0 outputs remain in high impedance
regardless of the state of /OE.
Rev. 3
The /MI input receives match information from the next
higher-priority ATMCAM in a vertically cascaded system
to provide system-level prioritization. When the /MI input
is HIGH, the /MF output will only go LOW if there is a
match during a Comparison cycle; when the /MI input is
LOW, the /MF output will go LOW. The /MF output from
one device is connected to the /MI input of the next
lower-priority device. The /MI pin of the highest-priority
device must be tied HIGH.

MU9C4320L ATMCAM
Pin Descriptions
/FF (Full Flag, Output)
/MV (Match Valid, Output)
The /FF output indicates when all the memory locations
have their Validity bits set valid (LOW). When there is at
least one location with its Validity bit set HIGH, the /FF
output will be HIGH; when all locations have their
Validity bits set LOW, and the /FI input is LOW, the /FF
output will be LOW. If the /FI input is HIGH, the /FF
output will be HIGH. The state of the /FF line will not
change until after the rising edge of /E during a Write
cycle.
After a Compare cycle, the /MV line indicates whether
there has been a valid match in this device in either the
CAM array or the VP Table. When /MV is LOW then a
match has occurred in either the CAM array or the VP
Table; when /MV is HIGH then a mismatch has occurred
in both the CAM array and the VP Table. The /MF output
is used to distinguish between the two types of matches.
The state of the /MV line will not change until after the
rising edge of /E during a Comparison cycle. /MV
represents local conditions written in the device; it is not
conditioned by the /MI input.
/FI (Full Input, Input)
The /FI input receives full information from the next
higher-priority ATMCAM in a vertically cascaded system
to provide system-level full information. When the /FI
input is LOW the /FF output will be HIGH if there is at
least one location whose Validity bit is set invalid; when
all locations have their Validity bits set valid, the /FF
output goes LOW. When the /FI input is HIGH, the /FF
output will remain HIGH. The /FF output from one device
is connected to the /FI input of the next lower-priority
device to give system-full indication. The /FI pin of the
highest-priority device must be tied LOW.
/RESET
The /RESET input is used to reset the ATMCAM to a
known state. When the /RESET line is pulled LOW it
causes the ATMCAM to enter its reset state. After power
is applied to the ATMCAM, the /RESET line must be held
LOW for a time equal to or greater than the minimum
RESET pulse width before the device can operate
correctly.
TCLK (JTAG Test Clock, Input)
The TCLK input is the Test Clock input.
/MM (Multiple Match, Open Drain Output)
TMS (JTAG Test Mode Select, Input)
The /MM line indicates that there is a multiple match
within the system. When the /MI input is HIGH, the /MM
line is pulled LOW if there are at least two matches within
the ATMCAM as a result of the previous Comparison
cycle; when there are less than two matches, the /MM line
floats HIGH. When the /MI input is LOW, the /MM line is
pulled LOW if there are one or more matches within the
ATMCAM as a result of the previous Comparison cycle;
when there are no matches, the /MM line floats HIGH.
The /MM lines have open-drain outputs, so all /MM lines
within the system are connected together to give
system-level multiple match indication. The state of the
/MM line will not change until after the rising edge of /E
during a Comparison cycle. The /MM line is unaffected by
matches in the VP Table.
The TMS input is the Test Mode Select input.
TDI (JTAG Test Data Input, Input)
The TDI input is the Test Data input.
TDO (JTAG Test Data Output, Output)
The TCLK output is the Test Data output.
/TRST (JTAG Reset, Input)
The /TRST input is the Reset input, and serves to reset the
Test Access Port circuitry to its reset condition.
VDD, GND (Positive Power Supply, Ground)
These pins are the main power supply connections to the
ATMCAM. VDD must be held at +3.3 Volt ± 0.3 Volt
relative to the GND pin, which is at 0 Volt, system
reference potential, for correct operation of the device.
Note: The TCLK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and /TRST lines are defined
in the IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-scan
Architecture IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and IEEE Std.
1149.1a-1993.

Functional Description
MU9C4320L ATMCAM
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Page address. The source of Active address is dependent
on the previous control state, allowing access to associated
data in the external RAM at the same location as an access
in the ATMCAM for all types of cycles.
Data is read from and written to the ATMCAM through
the DQ31–0 lines. The ATMCAM is controlled through
the Control bus, which comprises Chip Enable (/E), two
Chip Selects (/CS1, /CS2), Write Enable (/W), Output
Enable (/OE), Validity Bit Control (/VB), Address Valid
(/AV), and Address/Control inputs (AC11–0). When the
/AV line is LOW, the AC11–0 lines carry an address for
random access into the Memory array; when it is HIGH,
the AC11–0 lines convey control information. The
ATMCAM control states perform Read/Write Memory,
Read/Write Register, Data Move, Comparison, Set
Validity, VP Table Control, and Initialization. These
functions are summarized in Table 1 on page 19.
The Output Enable /OE controls the PA3–0:AA11–0 bus:
when it is LOW after a Compare cycle, the
highest-priority responding device outputs its Page and
Match addresses on PA3–0:AA11–0. Only the
highest-priority responding device is enabled, all other
lower-priority devices will have their PA3–0:AA11–0
lines in their high-impedance state, regardless of the state
of their respective /OE lines; when /OE is HIGH, the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines remain in their high-impedance
state.
Random access to memory locations occurs when the /AV
line is LOW; during a Write cycle, the validity of the
location is set by the /VB input. When the /AV line is
HIGH the control states allow read and write access to the
register set comprising Comparand register, seven mask
registers, a Configuration register, a Status register, an
Address register, a Device Select register, and an
Instruction register. The Configuration register sets the
persistent operating conditions of the device: the Page
address of the device, selection of mask register for
directly addressed memory writes, selection between
hardware and software control, enabling VP Table lookup,
selection of VP Table masking, and VP Table Page
address.
When a mismatch occurs in the system, the lowest-priority
device, as defined in the Configuration register, will drive
the PA3–0:AA11–0 bus with all 1s. When any Read or
Write cycle occurs, the address of the accessed location is
output on the PA3–0:AA11–0 bus. The address output on
the PA3–0:AA11–0 bus is persistent, and is held latched
until /E goes HIGH during the next cycle that changes the
Active address. The PA3–0:AA11–0 lines are free to
change only while /E is HIGH. Once /E goes LOW, the
state of the PA3–0:AA11–0 bus is latched.
After a Compare cycle, the /MV, /MF, and /MM flags are
free to change after /E has gone HIGH. Once the Match
Flag daisy chain has resolved device prioritization, the
/OE lines can be asserted to enable the PA3–0:AA11–0
lines from the highest-priority matching device.
When Hardware control is selected, control is through the
AC11–0 bus. When software control is selected, control is
through the Instruction register, which is loaded from the
DQ bus. Under software control the /AV line is used to
distinguish between data and an instruction on the DQ bus.
Therefore, in Software Control mode, random access to
the Memory array can only take place through indirect
addressing using the Address register.
In a multi-CAM system, when a device remains deselected
during a Compare cycle through /CS1 and /CS2 being
HIGH and there being no match between the Device
Select register and the Page Address register that device
will clear any previous positive match results. In other
words, if it had previously been indicating a match from
an earlier Comparison cycle, it will now be set to indicate
a mismatch, even though it was not selected during the
most recent Compare cycle.
The two Chip Select lines /CS1, /CS2 enable the device
and simplify access to a multi-chip system, if either Chip
Select line is LOW the device is selected. The ATMCAM
also can be selected through the Device Select register
when its value is set to that of the Page address of the
device, and the enable bit in the Device Select register is
set LOW. The /OE input enables the output signals and is
used to synchronize devices in a multi-chip system, and to
prevent race conditions between devices during priority
resolution.
For pure software control of the ATMCAM, instructions
can be loaded into the Instruction register, and results read
from the Status register. The Status register holds the
results of comparison: PA3–0:AA11–0, /MF, /FF, /MV,
and /MM plus two PA:AA Validation bits which indicate
the type of cycle that generated the PA3–0:AA11–0 value.
The ATMCAM supports VP Table lookup in parallel with
VPI/VCI comparison in the CAM array. This option is
selected through the Configuration register. When active,
Comparand Register bits CR31–20 are used to address the
4K x 1 VP Table simultaneously with the Compare cycle.
The output signals comprise the Active address (AA11–0),
and the Page address (PA3–0). The PA3–0:AA11–0 bus
carries the current Active address which is either the
Match address, VP Table address, Next Free address, or
the Random Access address, concatenated with the Device

Functional Description
resolve device prioritization. Once the daisy chain has
settled, the /OE lines can be pulled LOW to access the
Highest-Priority Match address on the PA3–0:AA11–0
bus.
The results of the Compare cycle have higher priority than
the VP Table lookup, and take precedence over it. In the
absence of a match in the CAM, the single bit accessed in
the VP Table is used to indicate whether there was a VP
Table match. Results of the Comparison cycle and VP
Table lookup are indicated through the /MV and /MF
outputs. Only the lowest-priority device in the system is
configured to hold the VP Table.
The Multiple Match open-drain output (/MM) provides
multiple match indication when there are two or more
matches in a single device, or a device has its /MI input
LOW and has a match; the /MM flags of all devices in the
system are wire-ORed. Multiple responders can be
accessed sequentially by resetting the Highest-Priority
Match latch with the control state “Advance Match
Address to Next Match.”
Vertical cascading is supported through a daisy chain
architecture. There are two daisy chains, one each for the
Match flag and the Full flag; the Multiple Match flag is
connected between devices with an open-drain line. The
Match flag (/MF) from a higher-priority device is
connected to the Match input (/MI) of the next
lower-priority device to provide prioritization throughout
a multiple device system. The /MF output from the lowest
priority device provides a system Match flag. If the delay
through the daisy chain is unacceptable, the /OE input can
be used by external priority-resolution circuitry to enable
the highest-priority responder in the system.
The Full flag (/FF) is cascaded from one device to the Full
Flag input (/FI) of the next lower-priority device in the
system. The /FF output from the lowest-priority device
provides a system Full flag. The Full flag is free to change
after the rising edge of /E during a Write cycle. The daisy
chains are persistent and are not conditioned by the /OE
input.
The ATMCAM supports JTAG boundary-scan testing
through the pins TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and /TRST,
according to the IEEE 1149 Standard: Test Access Port
and Boundary-scan Architecture.
The match conditions on the Match, Match Valid, and
Multiple Match flag lines are persistent indicating the

loading a new instruction. After a Comparison cycle,
Write at Next Free Address cycle or Read/Write at
Highest-Priority match in a vertically cascaded system,
only the highest-priority device will enable its DQ31–0
lines and output the contents of its Status register. After a
Comparison cycle, in the event of a mismatch in the CAM,
the DQ31–0 lines of the lowest-priority device will be
enabled. After a random access Read or Write cycle, the
Status register of any selected device will be enabled.
Under these circumstances, it is up to the user to ensure
that only a single device is enabled through /CS1, /CS2, or
the Device Select register.
The processor interface is through a 32-bit data bus
DQ31–0 and control signals comprising Chip Enable (/E),
two Chip Selects (/CS1, /CS2), Write Enable (/W), Output
Enable (/OE), Validity Bit Control (/VB), Address Valid
(/AV), and Address/Control inputs (AC11–0). When the
/AV line is LOW, the AC11–0 lines carry an address for
random access into the Memory array; when it is HIGH,
the AC11–0 lines convey control information.
Most of the functionality of the ATMCAM is accessed
through the control states on AC11–0 when /AV is HIGH.
The processor maps the control structure into memory
space and controls the ATMCAM through memory Read
and Write cycles. Using this memory mapping scheme, the
/AV line should be driven from logic that generates a
HIGH level within the mapped range of the control states,
and a LOW level outside it. Other control inputs /E, /W,
/CS1, and /CS2 are analogous to SRAM control inputs.
The instruction is persistent, so that all subsequent data
transactions will be executed according to the control state
held in the Instruction register. The results of a
Comparison cycle can be read back from the Status
register, and include PA3–0:AA11–0, /MF, /MM, /MV,
and /FF. The following sequence of events provides the
fastest operation of the ATMCAM in Software Control
mode:
The /VB line acts like an extra data bit during memory
Read and Write cycles and is used to read and write the
validity of any memory location.
/AV

The ATMCAM is enabled either through hardware
through /CS1 or /CS2 being LOW, or it is enabled by the
value written to the Device Select register matching with
the Page Address field of the Configuration register. One
extra bit in the Device Select register enables the
comparison between the Page Address value and the
Device Select register. These Chip Select mechanisms
operate in parallel. If any one is active, the device is
enabled.

Note: It is up to the system designer to ensure that the correct
cycle type follows the loading of an instruction in Software
Control mode. If the instruction expects a Read cycle, and a
Write cycle is executed, or vice versa, the function of the
ATMCAM is undefined. Such an error may lead to data loss, but
will not damage the device physically.
The ATMCAM can be controlled directly through
software. The Software Control mode is selected through
settings in the Configuration register.
The ATMCAM supports VP Table lookup. This function
is selected through the Configuration register. By default
the VP Table lookup is disabled. When selected, the
function is implemented through a 4K x 1 table addressed
by the upper-order 12 bits of the Comparison Data bits
31–20. The lowest-priority device within a vertically
cascaded system holds the VP Table. The function is
disabled in all other devices through the setting in the
Configuration register. Because the VPI field is 12 bits, the
VP Table is entirely contained within the 4K depth of a
single ATMCAM. Note that when the VP Table is
disabled, the VP Table control states are still active. In
other words, even when disabled, the VP Table bits can be
read, set, and reset.
When the Software Control mode is selected, control
states are written to the Instruction register from DQ11–0
during a Write cycle with the /AV line held HIGH. If the
control state does not involve any data transaction on the
DQ31–0 lines, the instruction is executed during the same
cycle; the state of DQ12 modifies the instruction, its state
is equivalent to the /W line during the execution of a
control state under Hardware control. If the instruction
calls for a data transaction on the DQ31–0 lines, then it is
latched into the Instruction register but no further action
takes place during that cycle. Subsequent Data Read or
Write cycles with the /AV line LOW will cause the
instruction to be executed with the data on the DQ31–0
lines.
The table is accessed during a Compare cycle. The single
bit that is accessed in the VP Table by the address formed
from Comparison data bits 31–20 is used to indicate
whether there is a VP Table match at that address. The
A Read cycle with the /AV line HIGH will access the
Status register, allowing results to be read back without

MU9C4320L ATMCAM
Operational Characteristics
The ATMCAM supports JTAG boundary-scan testing
through the pins TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO, according to
the IEEE 1149 Standard: Test Access Port and
Boundary-scan Architecture. The following JTAG support
is provided: BYPASS, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, IDCODE,
CLAMP, INTEST, and EXTEST. Signals on input pins can
be captured and signals on output pins can be driven,
allowing testing of board-level interconnection and
internal device testing.
individual bits in the VP Table are set and reset through
control states. A LOW value in the VP Table indicates a
match, while a HIGH value indicates a mismatch. The
results of comparison in the CAM array have a higher
priority than the VP Table result. In other words, if there is
a match in the CAM array, the VP Table result is ignored,
and the match is flagged by /MV and /MF going LOW. If
there is a mismatch in the CAM array, then a VP Table
match is indicated by /MV going LOW and /MF
remaining HIGH. In the event of a mismatch in both the
CAM array and the VP Table, both /MV and /MF remain
HIGH. The following truth table shows how match
conditions are flagged:

Hardware Control
Performance of the ATMCAM is enhanced by direct
hardware control through a set of control states through
the AC11–0 lines. The Hardware Control mode is selected
when Configuration Register bits FR27–26 are set LOW.
The AC11–0 inputs are qualified by the /W, /AV, and /VB.
When /AV is LOW, the AC11–0 lines carry the address for
a random Read or Write cycle, depending on the state of
/W, and /VB carries the validity of the location. During a
Write cycle, /VB is written to the Validity bit of the
addressed location; during a Read cycle, the validity of the
location is read on the /VB line. When /VB is LOW, the
location contains valid data; when /VB is HIGH the
location is empty.
Compare Cycle Result
Note: The /MV line will be LOW in any device with a match,
regardless of its priority. Only when the /MV line is LOW and the
/MF line is HIGH in the lowest-priority device will there be a VP
Table match and no CAM array match.
The VPI field can be masked through the Configuration
register. The VPI values are ANDed with the VP Table
Address Mask bit; therefore, “zeros” can be forced into
any of the VP Table Address bits. This facility is useful in
cases where the VPI values are coded on less than 12 bits.
For example, for 8-bit VPI processing, the Table Address
Mask field would have “zeros” in the upper-order four bits
and “ones” in the rest. This masked address is the value
output on the AA11–0 bus while the VP Page address is
output on the PA3–0 bus during a VP Table match. Note
that the VP Table Address Mask bits are only active for
Comparison cycles, and not for other VP Table accesses.
When /AV is HIGH, the AC11–0 lines carry address and
control information. The control information is conveyed
on AC8–0. If masking is not used, and all random
addressing of the memory is indirect through the Address
register, then only the AC5–0 lines are needed for full
control of the device.
In applications where a restricted number of control lines
are available, or where speed is not critical, the ATMCAM
can be controlled in Software Control mode where the
control states are loaded into the Instruction register
through the DQ31–0 lines. The control states are identical
in both Hardware and Software Control modes, although
DQ12 takes on special significance in Software mode.

Software Control
Active Address Interface PA3–0:AA11–0
For optimum performance, the ATMCAM is controlled
through the AC11–0 lines, allowing data transactions
through the DQ31–0 lines during a control cycle. In cases
where the overhead of a separate data load cycle can be
accommodated, the ATMCAM can be operated through
the Instruction register.
The Active Address interface PA3–0:AA11–0 carries the
currently active address. The address source depends on
the most recent control state that caused it to change. The
possible address sources that are output on
PA3–0:AA11–0 are: Highest-Priority CAM Match
address, VP Table Match address, Next Free address,
CAM Read address, CAM Write address, VP Table Read
address, and VP Table Write address.
Control through the Instruction register is selected by the
FR27–26 bits of the Configuration register being set
HIGH. Under this circumstance, the AC11–0 lines are not
used, instead the instruction is loaded from the DQ11–0
lines into the Instruction register during a Write cycle with
the /AV line HIGH. The instructions are directly
analogous to the control states for any operation that does
not involve data transfer on the DQ31–0 lines, in which
case the instruction is executed during the same cycle as
the instruction is loaded. To distinguish between Read and
Write control states, DQ12 is used to indicate which type
of instruction should be executed. When DQ12 is LOW at
the beginning of the cycle, the instruction executed is the
Write Cycle instruction (/W = LOW when control state is
conveyed on AC11–0); when DQ12 is HIGH at the
beginning of the cycle, the instruction executed is the
Read Cycle instruction (/W = HIGH when control state is
conveyed on AC11–0).
When the instruction calls for data to be written or read
from the DQ31–0 lines, the instruction is loaded into the
Instruction register during the cycle, and the next Data
Read or Write cycle with /AV LOW executes the
instruction using the DQ31–0 bus for the data transaction.
The instruction is persistent; i.e., if no other instruction is
loaded into the Instruction Register, subsequent data
transactions with the /AV line LOW will be executed
according to the instruction currently loaded in the
Instruction register. When there is a data access to a
memory location on DQ31–0 associated with the
instruction, the /VB line carries the validity of that
location.
PA3–0:AA11–0 After a Comparison Cycle
After a Comparison cycle, or access to the
Highest-Priority address, the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines carry
one of three possible results:
•
The CAM Match address if the Comparison cycle
resulted in a match in the CAM. Only the device
containing the highest-priority match enables its
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines. All other devices with either no
match or a lower-priority match, as indicated by the
Match Flag daisy chain, keep their PA3–0:AA11–0
lines in high impedance regardless of the state of their
/OE inputs.
•
The VP Table Match address if the Comparison cycle
resulted in a mismatch in the CAM but a match in the
VP Table. Only the lowest-priority device, as
indicated by bit FR25 in the Configuration register,
enables its PA3–0:AA11–0 lines. All other devices
keep their PA3–0:AA11–0 lines in high impedance
regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.
•
All 1s if there was no match in either CAM or VP
Table, or there was no match in the CAM and the VP
Table was disabled by Configuration register bit FR24
being HIGH. The lowest-priority device, as indicated
by bit FR25 in the Configuration register, enables its
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines and provides the source of all
1s. All other devices will keep their PA3–0:AA11–0
lines in high impedance regardless of the state of their
/OE inputs.
Instructions that involve data transactions on DQ31–0, and
are therefore executed on a subsequent Read or Write
cycle with the /AV line LOW, are all Read/Write Memory
and Read/Write Register instructions, Read Validity, Write
DQ3–0 to PA in Configuration register of Highest-Priority
Empty device, and Set /FF. All other instructions are
executed in a single cycle with the state of DQ12 being
interpreted as the state of the /W line during the equivalent
hardware control state. A Read cycle with /AV HIGH
accesses the Status register.

Operational Characteristics
PA3–0:AA11–0 After a Write at Next Free Address
Cycle
PA3–0:AA11–0 Conditions of Operation
After a Write at Next Free Address cycle the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines carry the address that was written to
during that cycle. Only the device in which the write
occurred enables its PA3–0:AA11–0 lines. All other
devices keep their PA3–0:AA11–0 lines in high
impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.
In the event that the system was full prior to the Write at
Next Free Address cycle being executed, so that the write
operation was suppressed, the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines carry
all 1s. The lowest-priority device, as indicated by bit FR25
in the Configuration register, enables its PA3–0:AA11–0
lines and provides the source of all 1s. All other devices
keep their PA3–0:AA11–0 lines in high impedance
regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.
PA3–0:AA11–0 After a Random Access Read or Write
to the CAM
After a random Read or Write cycle to the CAM, the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines carry the address that was accessed
during that cycle. Only the device in which the access
occurred enables its PA3–0:AA11–0 lines. All other
devices keep their PA3–0:AA11–0 lines in high
impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs. Note
that the access to the PA3–0:AA11–0 bus differs in this
respect from the operation of the Status register which is
accessible in any selected device under this particular
circumstance.
•
During a control state that does not have any effect on
the device address, such as a Write Register cycle, the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines remain unchanged. In other
words, the state of the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines persists
until another cycle causes it to change.
•
When enabled by /OE being LOW, the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines are only free to change while /E
is HIGH. When /E goes LOW the PA3–0:AA11–0
lines are latched.
•
The PA3–0:AA11–0 lines are enabled when /OE is
LOW provided that the previous cycle causes them to
be active. When /OE is HIGH, the PA3–0:AA11–0
lines are in high impedance. Note that /OE is
asynchronous with respect to /E, and is independent
of Chip Select from either /CS1, /CS2, or through the
Device Select register, except in the case of
non-broadcast random Read and Write cycles to the
CAM.
PA3–0:AA11–0 and the Match Flags
The Match flags /MV, /MF, /MM reflect the results of the
most recent Comparison cycle. During a Comparison
cycle, they do not change until after /E has gone HIGH
after which they are free to change combinatorially; their
state is not latched when /E is LOW. This condition allows
some pipelining to occur and is useful in systems with
long daisy chains. A Comparison cycle can be followed by
another cycle that does not affect the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines
before the daisy chain is resolved. For example:
In the event that the Write cycle was broadcast to multiple
devices, all devices that have their /OE lines held LOW
will enable their PA3–0:AA11–0 lines. Under this
circumstance, it is up to the system designer to ensure that
only one /OE line is driven LOW to prevent bus
contention on the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines.
CMP CR
WR CR
The WR CR control state can be executed before the daisy
chain has resolved device prioritization after the CMP CR
control state. The /OE is then asserted at a suitable time,
depending on the length of the daisy chain. The Match
address of the highest-priority responding device is then
driven onto the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines.
PA3–0:AA11–0 After a Random Access Read or Write
to the VP Table
After a Read or Write cycle to the VP Table, the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines carry the address of the location
accessed in the VP Table. The VP Table is held in the
lowest-priority device, which therefore is the only device
to enable its PA3–0:AA11–0 lines. All other devices keep
their PA3–0:AA11–0 lines in high impedance regardless
of the state of their /OE inputs.
The /MV, /MF, /MM lines continue to indicate the results
of the most recent match, even when the PA3–0:AA11–0
lines carry an address other than the Match address. This
condition allows rapid return to the Match address value
on the PA3–0:AA11–0 lines through a RD[HPM] cycle,
without the daisy chain having to re-resolve device-level
prioritization.

active PA3–0:AA11–0 lines. In the case of a random
access Read or Write cycle, the Status register of any
selected device can be accessed by a Read Status Register
cycle. The system designer must ensure that a Status
Register Read cycle after a random Read or Write cycle is
into a single device using Chip Select /CS1, /CS2, or the
Device Select register to prevent bus contention on the
DQ31–0 bus.
The Status Register bits SR15–0 reflect the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines under all conditions. The Status
Register flags /MV, /MF, /MM, and /FF represent the local
conditions within the device, and are not conditioned by
the /MI and /FI inputs.
After a Comparison cycle, Write at Next Free address, or
access to the Highest-Priority Matching device, a Status
Register Read cycle is executed in the same device as the
REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
Configuration Register
The register set contains a Comparand register, seven
mask registers, Address register, Configuration register,
Status register, Next Free Address register, Device Select
register, and Instruction register. Note that all RESERVED
bits can be read and written without affecting the operation
of the device. However, for forward compatibility with
future product enhancements, system designers should not
rely on any particular RESERVED bit having no effect on
the operation of the device in future revisions. Therefore,
all RESERVED bits should be set to logical zero.
The 32-bit Configuration register sets the persistent
operating conditions of the ATMCAM. Bits FR31–29
select which mask register is used for direct Write cycles
to the CAM array when the address is conveyed on the
AC11–0 lines (/AV=LOW), a value of 000 in this field
results in unmasked direct Write cycles. Bits FR27–26
select the mode of operation: Hardware Control mode or
Software Control mode. Bit FR25 is used to identify the
lowest priority device in a vertically cascaded system. Bit
24 is used to enable or disable the VP Table in the
lowest-priority device. Bits FR23–12 hold the VP Table
Address mask. Bits FR7–4 hold the VP Table Page
address. Bits FR3–0 hold the device Page address. All
other bits are reserved and should be set LOW. See Table 3
on page 26.
Comparand Register
The 32-bit Comparand register holds the value to be
compared with the valid contents of the CAM array,
although the DQ lines can be compared directly, and then
optionally written into the Comparand register.
Mask Registers
Status Register
There are seven 32-bit mask registers which are used to
mask Compare and Write cycles. When a bit is set LOW in
a selected mask register, the corresponding bit enters into
comparison during a Compare cycle, or is written during a
Write cycle. When a bit is set HIGH in a selected mask
register, the corresponding bit does not enter into
comparison during a Compare cycle, or remains
unchanged after a Write cycle.
The 32-bit Status register holds the results of the most
recent control state that caused the PA:AA lines to change.
It is intended for use in Software Control mode where
results of an operation are read from the CAM through the
DQ31–0 lines. Bit SR31 holds the Match Valid flag, /MV,
which goes LOW if there is a match in the CAM array or a
hit in the VP Table. Bit SR31 holds the Match flag, /MF,
which goes LOW when there is a match in the CAM array.
Bit SR29 holds an internal version of the Multiple Match
flag, /MM, which is LOW if there is a multiple match in
the particular device; note that this is not a system-level
multiple match indication. Bit SR28 holds the Full flag,
/FF, which goes LOW when all the CAM array locations
are set valid, and the /FI line is LOW. Bits SR25–24
indicate the type of result held in the Active Address field:
Match address, Memory Access address, VP Table
address, or Reset state. Bits SR19–16 hold the Page
address, PA3–0, for the device. Bits SR11–0 hold the
Active address, AA11–0. All other bits are reserved and
are set LOW. See Table 4 on page 26.
Address Register
The 32-bit Address register is used for indirect addressing
of the CAM array. When random access to the CAM array
is restricted to indirect addressing, the width of the control
bus can be reduced to 9 bits if masking is used or 6 bits if
it is not. Control states allow increment and decrement of
the Address register as well as auto-increment and
auto-decrement Read and Write cycles. Bits AR11–0 hold
the address while bits AR31–12 are reserved and should
be set LOW.

MU9C4320L ATMCAM
Register Descriptions
Next Free Address Register
Memory Access
The 32-bit Next Free Address register holds the
highest-priority address that has its Validity bit set empty
(LOW). System-level prioritization ensures that only the
device with the highest-priority empty address in a
vertically cascaded system will respond to a Read Next
Free Address Register Control state. Bits NF19–16 hold
the device Page address, PA3–0. Bits NF11–0 hold the
next free address value. All other bits are reserved, and are
set LOW. See Table 5 on page 26.
Data is written to or read from the Memory array either
randomly by address, or associatively by comparison and
next free address. Random addressing can be either direct
with the address on the AC11–0 lines (/AV=LOW) or
indirect with the address held in the Address register.
Memory access is controlled through the control states on
the AC11–0 lines (/AV=HIGH) in Hardware Control
mode, or through the Instruction register in Software
Control mode.
Device Select Register
VP Table
The 32-bit Device Select register is used for software
selection of the ATMCAM. A particular device is selected
when the value in bits DS3–0 are the same as the Page
Address value PA3–0 and the Device Select Enable bit,
DS8, is set LOW. Setting DS8 HIGH prevents the Device
Select register from enabling the ATMCAM. All other bits
are reserved and should be set LOW. See Table 6 on page
26.
The VP Table is a separate area of RAM, organized as
4K x 1 and addressed by the upper order 12 bits of the
comparand which hold the VPI field of the ATM header.
The VP Table is contained in the lowest-priority device,
and is enabled by Configuration Register bit FR24. Each
VP Table location holds a flag bit to indicate whether there
is a VP match at that address. A VP Table value of 0
indicates a match, or hit.
Instruction Register
The VP Table is not initialized by hardware or software
resets. Before enabling the VP Table, all VP bits must be
initialized by writing to each bit using the VP Table
control states.
In Software Control mode, control states are written to the
32-bit Instruction register instead of being fed to the
ATMCAM through the AC11–0 lines. Bits IR11–0 are
equivalent to the AC11–0 lines and the control states they
invoke are identical to those of the Hardware Control
mode. The remaining bits are reserved and should be set
LOW.
The VP Table is accessed during a Compare cycle. If there
is a match in the CAM, it takes priority over a hit in the VP
Table. The /MV flag goes LOW if there is a match in the
CAM or a hit in the VP Table, the /MF line goes LOW if
there is a match in the CAM. The address fed to the VP
Table can be masked by forcing zeros into the address bits.
The VP Table address mask is held in Configuration
Register bits FR23–12. When there is a VP Table hit and
no match in the CAM, the masked VP Table address is
output on the AA11–0 bus while the VP Page address is
output on the PA3–0 bus.
The Memory Array
The Memory Array is organized as 4096 32-bit locations.
Location 0000H as the highest-priority location, and
location 0FFFH as the lowest-priority location. Write
cycles to the next free address start at location 0000H
when the ATMCAM is empty, and continue down to
0FFFH when it becomes full.
Chip Select
Each 32-bit location in the CAM array has one extra bit,
the Validity bit, which is used to indicate whether the
location is empty or has valid contents. When the Validity
bit is HIGH, the location is empty and is not compared
during Comparison cycles; when it is LOW the contents
are valid and will be compared during a Comparison
cycle. The Validity bits are set or reset during Write cycles
through the /VB line. The Validity bit of a location is
accessed on the /VB line during a Read cycle. The Validity
bits can be set and reset through control states.The Validity
bits are also used in the generation of the next free address
value.
There are two methods of selecting an ATMCAM: through
Hardware control inputs /CS1 and /CS2, and through
software control using the Data Select register.
Chip Select Inputs
The Chip Select lines /CS1 and /CS2 enable an ATMCAM
to participate in a control cycle. If either /CS1 or /CS2 are
LOW the device is selected. By connecting all the /CS1
lines together in a multi-CAM system, and decoding the
lines to each individual device’s /CS2 line, control states
can operate locally within a single device or globally in all
devices. Control states can be broadcast to all devices
within the system by pulling the /CS1 lines LOW, for
operations such as Write Comparand register; individual
devices can be selected to respond to a control state such
as Write at Address by pulling a single decoded /CS2 line
LOW.

that cycle. At this time, the daisy chain starts to resolve
system-level prioritization. Once sufficient time has
elapsed for the daisy chain to be resolved, the
PA3–0:AA11–0 lines can be enabled with /OE, and Status
Register Read cycles will access only the highest-priority
matching device. Note that the daisy chain resolves
system-level prioritization combinatorially once initiated
by /E going HIGH. Other cycles that do not affect the
daisy chain or match results can take place in the
ATMCAM while the daisy chain is resolving, for example,
WR CR, allowing some degree of pipelining. During a
Write cycle, the Full flag will not change until /E goes
HIGH during that cycle.
One dedicated line is needed per device to do local
selection of one device within a multi-CAM system. In
cases where control lines are at a premium, the Device
Select register can be used as the method of selection. If
Device Select Register bit DS8 is LOW, only the device or
devices whose Page Address value, held in Configuration
Register bits FR3-0, match with the Device Select
Register bits DS3–0 will be selected. Note that the match
condition of the Device Select register is ORed with the
state of the /CS1 and /CS2 lines. If DS8 is HIGH, the
device remains unselected through the Device Select
register.
There is a small propagation delay per device in the daisy
chain. Alternatively, vertical cascading can be done with
external logic that provides prioritization and select lines
back into each device. The ATMCAM architecture
supports external prioritization for cases where the daisy
chain overhead proves unacceptable. Figure 4 shows a
system in which a number of ATMCAMs are vertically
cascaded.
The conditions of the Device Select register, the /CS1 and
/CS2 lines are sampled at the time of the falling edge of /E.
In a particular ATMCAM within a system, that CAM will
be selected under the following conditions:
(/CS1=LOW) OR (/CS2=LOW)
OR ((DS8 = LOW) AND (DS3–0 = PA3–0))
Therefore, the /CS1 lines of all devices are tied together
for global cycles that broadcast control states to all devices
within the system; then, for local cycles, an individual
device is selected by loading all the Device Select
Registers bit DS8 LOW and bits DS3–0 with the Page
Address value of the device to be selected. On a
subsequent cycle, /CS1 and /CS2 remain HIGH, and only
the device whose Page Address value matches with its
DS3–0 will respond. After an individual device has been
selected, a global Write cycle to the Device Select register
using /CS1 line is executed to select another device, or to
disable the software chip select mechanism altogether.

vertically cascading ATMCAMs. The scheme uses a daisy
chain to provide system level prioritization as well as
Match, Multiple Match, and Full flags. There are three
daisy chains: Match, Multiple match, and Full, plus a
Match Valid line indicates both the CAM and VP Table
matches.

(Lowest Priority)
When a control state is broadcast that accesses the
highest-priority matching location or Status register, the
daisy chain ensures that only the device that responds is
the one with the highest-priority match in the system. All
other devices will have their DQ31–0 lines and
PA3–0:AA11–0 outputs held in high impedance.
Therefore, the Match Flag daisy chain controls access to
the system resources for control states that are conditional
on the results of the previous Compare cycle.

entire system; only the device in which the /MI line is
HIGH and which has a match will respond to the cycle.
This scheme automatically prioritizes a system of
vertically cascaded devices, the highest up in the chain has
the highest priority. Note however, that cycles which do
not access highest-priority match data or the Status
register will operate without regard to the state of the
Match daisy chain.
The Full flag is set LOW in a particular ATMCAM if the
/FI line is LOW, and that device is full. During a Write
cycle, the Full flag will not change until /E goes HIGH
during that cycle. When the /FI line is HIGH, one or more
locations are free in the higher-priority devices; therefore,
when the /FI line is HIGH, whether or not that particular
device is full, its /FF output will remain HIGH. This
method allows the Full Flag daisy chain to recognize
noncontiguous empty locations throughout the entire
ATMCAM system.
Multiple Match Flag Daisy Chain
The Multiple Match flag, /MM is an open-drain output,
and it will be pulled LOW by a particular device when its
/MI input is HIGH and there is more than one match
within the device, or when the /MI input is LOW and there
is one match within the device. During a Comparison
cycle, the Multiple Match flag will not change until /E
goes HIGH during that cycle. This wired-OR output
provides system level indication of the multiple match
condition within a vertically cascaded system of
ATMCAMs.
The daisy chain gives System Full indication. When the
device at the end of the chain has its /FF output LOW, the
entire CAM system is full. The first device in the daisy
chain has its /FI line tied LOW to ensure data can be
written into the system.
The daisy chain also controls Write at Next Free Address
cycles as well as Read Next Free Address cycles so that
they work globally across the system, and not just locally
in a specific device. Only the device in which the /FI line
is LOW, and which is not full, will respond to the Write
cycle. Therefore, deletions and insertions can be made in
the memory, without the need to keep track of empty
locations.
Match Flag Timing Overhead
There is a propagation delay for the match results to ripple
down through the daisy chain. All the ATMCAMs within
the system execute a Comparison cycle in parallel, so the
local results are available at the end of a Comparison
cycle. The local Match flags do not change during a
Comparison cycle until /E goes HIGH. The logical
combination of the results then propagates down the daisy
chain with a delay through each stage. The compare time
in each device operating in parallel is added to the ripple
delay through the daisy chain. Before reading the results
of a comparison from the System Match flag, the daisy
chain must be given time to settle to a valid state. If there
are N devices vertically cascaded in a system, and the time
to get a valid output on /MF for one device is t(MF), and
the propagation delay for the flag to ripple through one
device from /MI valid to /MF valid is t(PD), then the time
t(DC) for the daisy chain to develop a valid output
condition is:
Match Cascading
The Match flag /MF will be LOW in a particular device
within a vertically cascaded system when its /MI input is
LOW, or when there is a match in that device. During a
Comparison cycle, the Match flag will not change until /E
goes HIGH during that cycle. When the /MI line is LOW,
one or more locations in higher-priority devices have a
match; when the /MI line is LOW, the /MF output will be
forced LOW. This method allows the Match Flag daisy
chain to respond to and prioritize matches throughout the
entire ATMCAM system.
The daisy chaining gives a System Match indication, when
the device at the end of the daisy chain has its /MF output
LOW there is a match within the CAM system. The first
device in the daisy chain has its /MI input tied HIGH.
t(DC) = t(MF) +(N-1) *t(PD)
This period of time must elapse before the flagged results
of the comparison are available, and before /OE is driven
LOW or a Status Register Read cycle is performed.
The daisy chain also controls access to the device by
controlling the outputs during a Read Highest-Priority
Match data, or Read Status register, onto the DQ31–0
lines. The device must be selected with either /CS1, or
/CS2, or the Data Select register. After a Comparison or
Read/Write at Highest-Priority Match Address cycle, only
the device whose /MI line is HIGH, and which has a valid
match, will drive data onto DQ31–0 or onto
PA3–0:AA11–0; any device that has its /MI line set LOW
will have its outputs in their high-impedance state, even if
it has a valid match. Therefore, Reads from and Writes to
the Highest-Priority Matching address operate over the
There is a similar but shorter delay for the Full Flag daisy
chain, but this only limits the rate at which back-to-back
Write at Next Free Address cycles can be performed.

System Initialization
External Prioritization
For systems where the propagation delay associated with
the Match Flag daisy chain is unacceptable, the ATMCAM
supports external prioritization. Using external
prioritization, each /MF output is fed to a 1-of-N
prioritizing circuit whose outputs are fed back to the /CS
and /OE inputs of the respective ATMCAMs. Access to
the Highest-Priority Match Memory location or Status
register is accomplished by only enabling the /CS to the
Highest-Priority Match device based on the status of the
/MF flags in the system. Likewise, access to the
Highest-Priority Match device’s PA3–0:AA11–0 match
address result is accomplished by enabling the /OE line
only to the Highest-Priority Match device.
Initialization
After power is applied to the ATMCAM the /RESET line
must be pulled LOW for at least 50ns to ensure that the
device establishes its correct initial operating conditions.
There are control states to initialize the system-level
operating conditions that can be run once the device or
devices in the system have been reset after power has been
applied.
Reset
The Reset condition occurs when the /RESET line is
pulled LOW (Hardware reset), or when the Reset Control
state is executed (Software reset). The conditions after a
reset are shown in Table 2 on page 25.
The Instruction register is enabled for Software Control
mode. To activate Hardware control, the appropriate value
should be written to the Configuration register in two
cycles from the DQ31–0 lines.
For a Hardware reset, FR25, which defines the lowest
priority device, is set HIGH. This means that either FR25
must be set LOW in the lowest-priority device, or a
Memory access cycle or a Compare cycle that generates a
match must be executed for there to be any response when
reading the PA:AA bus or the Status register.
Note: The VP Table is not reset and must be initialized by the
user prior to being enabled.

Once the ATMCAM devices in the system have been
reset, the system operating conditions must be set up. The
ATMCAM is reset to Software Control mode, so a value
must be written to the Configuration register to set the
persistent operating state of the device. This first write to
the devices in the system must be through Software
control. The following sequence writes a new value to the
Configuration register under software control:
1. Write 006H to ATMCAMs (/AV=HIGH, DQ12=LOW).
The value 006H is the control state WR FR (Write to
Configuration register with no mask). /AV being HIGH
indicates that this is the instruction to be written to the
Instruction register, and DQ12 being LOW indicates
that it is a Write cycle.
2. Write XXXXXXXXH to ATMCAMs (/AV=LOW).
The value XXXXXXXXH is written to the
Configuration register, and if FR27–26=00 then the
devices are set to operate in Hardware Control mode.
/AV being LOW causes the control state to execute
using the data present on the DQ31–0 lines.
If the devices in a vertically cascaded system are to be
selected solely through the Device Select register, then the
Page addresses must be set to unique values in each
device. However, to set the Page address in each
Configuration register in turn would require that each
device already had a unique Page Address value. To
overcome this dilemma, there are two special control
states that allow the Page Address registers to be set
individually in this circumstance. Once the general
operating conditions have been established by
broadcasting a configuration value to all the ATMCAMs
in the system, the Page Address values must be set to a
unique value in each device. This is done through a
sequence of WR PA control states, each executed with a
unique value on the DQ3–0 lines. This control state writes
the DS3–0 value into the Page Address field of the
Configuration register of the highest-priority empty
device, and then sets the Full flag of that device to indicate
full (LOW). The next WR PA will therefore be directed to
the next lower-priority device within the system. The
sequence continues until all Page Address values have
been written. The RST FF control state is then broadcast to
all devices to set the Full flags back to Empty, and the
system is then ready for normal operation.

/W: HIGH /AV: HIGH PA:AA: aaa Scope: AS
Description: Reads the contents of the Status register to
the DQ31–0 bus. After a Comparison or Read/Write at
Highest-Priority Matching Address cycle only the
highest-priority device with a match responds to this
control state; in the event of a mismatch, the
lowest-priority device responds. After a random access
Read or Write cycle into the Memory array, RD SR will
take place in any selected device.
Description: Moves data from the memory address
defined by the contents of the Address register to the
Comparand register. The move is masked by the contents
of Mask Register nnn. When nnn=000 no mask is used;
when masking is selected, only bits in the addressed
location that correspond to LOW values in the selected
mask register are updated. Note that the /VB line is not
driven during this operation.
Control State:

Description: Moves data from the Comparand Register to
the Next Free address. In a vertically cascaded system, the
write will take place in the device whose /FI=LOW and
/FF=HIGH, and at the highest-priority location whose
Validity bit is set HIGH. The validity of the location is set
by the state of the /VB input, /VB = LOW: Valid, /VB =
HIGH: Empty. The move is masked by the contents of
Mask Register nnn. When nnn=000 no mask is used; when
masking is selected, only bits in the addressed location
that correspond to LOW values in the selected mask
register are updated.
Description: The Comparand register is compared with
all locations in the Memory array that have their Validity
bits set LOW. The comparison is masked by the contents
of Mask Register nnn. When nnn=000 no mask is used;
