The following is the sequence of operation for a single 136-bit Search command (also refer to “Command and Command
Parameters,” 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 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 ([135:68]) in order
to be compared against all even locations. The CMD[2] signal must be driven to logic 0.
• Cycle B: The host ASIC continues to drive CMDV high and to apply Search command code (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
cycle

CFG = 01010101, 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.
