A Low Power VLSI Implementation of STTRAM based TCAM for High Speed Switching Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) is often used in high speed search intensive applications such as ATM switch, IP filters. Hence, currently ZTCAM, is introduced which emulates the TCAM functionality with SRAM. It has some drawbacks such as low scalability, low storage density, slow access time and high cost. But this paper proposes novel memory architecture of existing Z-TCAM, but with STTRAM instead of SRAM. Hence the area, delay and power by using lower power consumption Spin Transfer Torque RAM (STT RAM) instead of SRAM. The detailed implementation results and power measurements for each design have been reported thoroughly.

Modified 32-Bit Shift-Add Multiplier Design for Low Power Application
Multiplication is a basic operation in any signal processing application. Multiplication is the most important one among the four arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, and division. Multipliers are usually hardware intensive, and the main parameters of concern are high speed, low cost, and less VLSI area. The propagation time and power consumption in the multiplier are always high. ...
