I started to do a search on the WEB for CAM's and have got bored so here's a start :- mostly discrete CAM chip manufacturers http://www.openskytech.com/ContentAddressableMemory.htm http://www.music-ic.com/literature/files.html http://www.qualitysemi.com/products/network.html http://www.utmc.com/ search on their home page for CAM http://www.netlogicmicro.com/ http://www.netlogicmicro.com/text/tech_support.html http://www.hep.ucl.ac.uk/atlas/rob-in/cam-for-index.html NB Music Semiconductor Inc is the big player ( pun!! ) for discrete CAM chips and others second source them . The others ,however can have different application notes . Also note that I don't include Xilinx or Altera 'cause you can search for yourself on :- http://www.xilinx.com/search/sitex.htm or http://www.altera.com/
