funktionsspeicher from associative cells with at least four conditions

摘要

This specification discloses an associative or functional memory in which storage cells with more than four states are employed to perform logic functions. These multi-state cells can be actually a single multi-state cell or a plurality of bistable or quadrastable cells. They are addressed through their bit lines by a decoder for decoding two or more data bits and are sensed on their word lines by match detectors determining whether or not there is a match condition.
