Abstract :
Content addressable memory (CAM) is an essential component of high-end network processing systems. In this paper, a novel CAM cell is presented. By simply setting the control signal onto the cell, it can be configured as either the binary or ternary CAM. Simulations on a 64-bit CAM test circuit using 0.13 mum process have been carried out. The functionality, timing and power performance of proposed CAM array are discussed.
