The following is the sequence of operation for a single 68-bit Search command (also refer to “Command and Command Param-
eters,” Subsection 12.2 on page 19).
Cycle A: The host ASIC drives CMDV high and applies Search command code (10) on CMD[1:0] signals. CMD[5:3] signals
must be driven with the index to the GMR pair for use in this Search operation. CMD[8:6] signals must be driven with the same
bits that will be driven on SADR[21:19] by this device if it has a hit. DQ[67:0] must be driven with the 68-bit data to be compared.
The CMD[2] signal must be driven to logic 0.
Cycle B: The host ASIC continues to drive CMDV high and applies Search command (10) on CMD[1:0]. CMD[5:2] must be
driven by the index of the comparand register pair for storing the 136-bit word presented on the DQ bus during cycles A and
B. CMD[8:6] signals must be driven with the index of the SSR that will be used for storing the address of the matching entry
and the hit flag (see page 14 for the description of SSR[0:7]). The DQ[67:0] continues to carry the 68-bit data to be compared.
Note
. For 68-bit searches, the host ASIC must supply the same 68-bit data on DQ[67:0] during both cycles A and B. The even
and odd GMR pairs selected for the compare must be programmed with the same value.
The logical 68-bit Search operation is shown in
Figure 13-22
. The entire table (31 devices of 68-bit entries) is compared to a 68-bit
word K (presented on the DQ bus in both cycles A and B of the command) using the GMR and the local mask bits. The effective
GMR is the 68-bit word specified by the identical value in both even and odd GMR pairs in each of the eight devices and selected

CFG = 00000000, HLAT = 001, TLSZ = 10, LRAM = 1, LDEV = 1.
Note: |(BHI[2:0)] stands for the boolean ‘OR’ of the entire bus BHI[2:0].
Note: |(LHI[6:0]) stands for the boolean ‘OR’ for the entire bus LHI[6:0].
Note: Each bit in BHO[2:0] is the same logical signal.
Note: Each bit in LHO[1:0] is the same logical signal.
