The MU9C3480L LANCAM is a 256 x 64-bit Contentaddressable Memory (CAM), designed for address filtering applications in Local-area Network (LAN) bridges, routers, and switches needing a 3.3 volt CAM. The architecture of the LANCAM allows a network station list of any length to be searched in a single memory transaction. This device is also well-suited for other high-speed data search applications such as virtual memories, optical and magnetic disk caches, data base accelerators, data compressors, and image processors. Content-addressable Memories, also known as Associative Memories, operate in the converse way to Random Access
