1. A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising:

  • a first data line;

    a second data line;

    a match line;

    a control word line;

    first connection means for controllably electrically connecting the control word line to the match line;

    potential float means for controllably allowing a potential of the control word line to float; and

    a memory cell, comprising;

    second connection means for providing a circuit path between the match line and one of the first data line and the second data line, andenable means for selectively enabling the circuit path;

    wherein the potential float means and the first connection means are enabled during a data retrieval operation to allow the potential of the control word line to positively correlate to an electric potential of the match line.
