LOW-POWER TERNARY CONTENT ADDRESSABLE MEMORY

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to computer memory, and more specifically, to a low-power content addressable memory (CAM) circuit and a method of operating the CAM. According to certain aspects, techniques described herein may function to reduce the number of intermediate match lines of the CAM that switch during a comparison operation, reduce the voltage swing on the intermediate output lines, and reduce a switched capacitance of the CAM.
