A match circuit connected to a bus carrying data is described. In one embodiment, the match circuit comprises logic for activating a match_mm signal when a selected N-bit portion of the data matches an N-bit threshold for all bits selected by an N-bit match mask ("mmask") and logic for activating a match_OR signal when at least one of one or more designated bits of the selected N-bit portion of the data is a logic 1 or if there are no designated bits.
