Pipelined Match-Lines and Hierarchical Search-Lines for Low-Power Content-Addressable Memories
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a pipelined match-line and a hierarchical search-line architecture to reduce power in contentaddressable memories (CAM). The overall power reduction is 60%, with 29% contributed by the pipelined match-lines and 31% contributed by the hierarchical search-lines. This proposed architecture is employed in the design of a 1024×144 bit ternary CAM, achieving 7 ns search cycle time at 2.89 fJ/bit/search in a 0.18 μm CMOS process.

An Efficient Low Power Sparse Clustered Network By Using Reordered Overlapped Content Addressable Memory
A reordered overlapped search mechanism for high-throughput low-energy contentaddressable memories (CAMs). Most mismatches can be found by searching a few bits of a search word. To lower power dissipation, a word circuit is often divided into two sections that are sequentially searched or even pipelined. Because of this process, most of match lines in the second section are unused. Since search...

متن کاملLow Power and High Performance Master Slave Match Line Content Addressable Memory
Content-addressable memory (CAM) is a hardware storage commonly used in the fast lookup applications. However, the parallel comparison feature costs the CAM memory large power consumption. In this paper, we propose a new CAM word architecture, called master–slave match line (MSML) design, which aims to combine the master–slave architecture and charge refill minimization technique to reduce the ...
