In a longest coincidence data detecting apparatus, a control section (1a and 1b) distributes an external data to the N M-bit associative memory units (2a and 2b) to satisfy a relation of <MATH> where each of N and M is an integer more than 1, 0 </= i < N, 0 </= j < M, i and j are integers, Xij is a j-th bit of the i-th one of the N associative memory units, and Yk is a k-th bit of the external data. Each of the N associative memory units compares a distributed portion of the external data and a corresponding portion of an internal data in a designated bit region from a most significant bit of the distributed portion, and outputs a matching signal when the distributed portion of the external data portion and the corresponding portion of the internal data are coincident with each other in the designated bit region. <IMAGE> |
