The present invention is especially directed towards an improved means for comparing the address inputs of word decoders in a memory array such that, when a compare occurs, selected ones of the array word decoders are disabled to prevent a multiple read, and selected higher order read heads are inhibited while switching the output data onto all of the output lines having the same address as the uninhibited word decoder. The comparator circuit employs a ripple effect and comprises a plurality of exclusive-OR circuits interposed with a source follower circuit. The first and last steps of the comparator is an exclusive-OR circuit. The comparator circuit is extendable to any size system and result in better power performance as well as a smaller size.
