Abstract :
In this paper, a novel configurable content addressable memory (CCAM) cell is proposed, to increase the flexibility of embedded CAMs for SoC employment. It can be easily configured as a Binary CAM (BiCAM) or Ternary CAM (TCAM) without significant penalty of power consumption or searching speed. A 64×128 CCAM array has been built and verified through simulation.
