CAMs are clever devices suitable for multiple applications where searches need to be resolved quickly and efficiently. Whether the application needs to encrypt/decrypt data, compress data, compare data against stored vectors or do network header lookups a CAM does it in a well defined time. Hashing algorithms are commonly used for the task of doing such lookups in software but have the disadvantage of NOT being deterministic in time and also putting burden on the processor. Specifically when searches need to be performed on a very frequent basis a CAM is the perfect solution.

MUSICs product line is made up out of various devices some have a small interface on which data and instructions are combined offering an I/O efficient solution and others have a wide interface and separated data and instruction bus for higher performance.

A wide selection of speed grades and CAM densities make MUSIC CAM the only low cost mid density CAM vendor with years of successful experience in designing and manufacturing CAM.
