Low Power Content Addressable Memory with Pre- Comparison Sceheme and Dual-vdd Techmique
نویسندگان
چکیده
A low power content addressable memory is designed by the pre-comparison scheme, power gating and dual-VED techniques. With the pre-comparison scheme, it will reduce the discharging time and power consumption when the match line is mismatch. Furthermore, the techniques of power gating and dual VDD are applied to the pre-comparison CAM to reduce the leakage power. The size of the CAM array is about 32 words, and each word has 32bits. The proposed pre-comparison NORtype 10T CAM can achieve 22.8% dynamic power reduction for the 4bits pre-comparison circuit and 33.4% leakage power reduction with power gating and dual VDD techniques. All the simulation results are based on TSMC 100 nm CMOS technology and the clock frequency is 500MHz.

Power Gated Match Line Sensing Content Addressable Memory
A Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) compares input search data against stored data, and returns the address of the matching data. CAM offers highspeed search function in a single clock cycle [6]. In the conventional ContentAddressable Memory (CAM), equal power is consumed to determine if a stored word is matched to a search word or mismatched. A match line (ML) sensing scheme is used for match d...

متن کاملSurvey on Content Addressable Memory and Sparse Clustered Network
Most memory devices store and retrieve data by addressing specific memory locations. As a result, this path often becomes the limiting factor for systems that rely on fast memory accesses. The time required to find an item stored in memory can be reduced considerably if the item can be identified for access by its content rather than by its address. A memory that is accessed in this way is call...

متن کاملDual Pai-Sigma Segment Matchline for low power Ternary CAM
This paper proposes a Dual Pai-Sigma Segment Matchline scheme to reduce the search (compare) power of a Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM). The proposed Matchline does not incur the issues of short circuit current and charge sharing, which typically exist in the hybrid NAND-NOR Matchline. The proposed scheme is designed using 6T NAND&NOR TCAM cells and 4T NAND & NOR TCAM cells and their ...
