A content addressable memory (CAM). A data portion of the CAM array includes word data storage. Each word line includes CAM cells (dynamic or static) in the data portion and a common word match line. An error correction (e.g., parity) portion of the CAM array contains error correction cells for each word line. Error correction cells at each word line are connected to an error correction match line. A match on an error correction match line enables precharging a corresponding data match line. Only data on word lines with a corresponding match on an error correction match line are included in a data compare. Precharge power is required only for a fraction (inversely exponentially proportional to the bit length of error correction employed) of the full array.
