Abstract :
An ASIC which implements a special purpose register array for real-time application has been presented. This chip, referred to as MUCAM, performs parallel searches and multiple updates of up to 256 8-bit data within 52 ns. MUCAM has been developed for image component labeling, and merge operation in a connected component analyzer. It has been fabricated using 0.9 μm CMOS technology
