Ternary Content Addressable Memory Types And Matchline Schemes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) used in many application like network routers and packet classification. To reduce the power consumption of matchlines, the matchline partitioning scheme is used. Matchline is partitioned into NOR and NAND type matchline. If NAND (NOR) type TCAM cell is used then NAND (NOR) type matchline is used. NOR type TCAM has feature of high speed and high compare power. NAND type TCAM has low speed and low compare power. The NAND and NOR type matchlines are combined to form the pai-sigma matchlines. In pai segment the NAND type cells are connected in parallel to form the NAND type matchline. In sigma segment NOR type cells are connected in series to form the NOR type matchline. When compare operation is performed all NAND type matchlines are activated because switching power is low. Based on the match result of the NAND matchlines the NOR matchlines are activated because of high speed. The matchline incurs the problem of short circuit current due to mismatch and match result of NAND and NOR matchlines. NAND type matchline exist the problem of charge sharing when the search result of the NAND line is mismatches. This proposed TCAM has less compare (search) power compared to the NAND/NOR type TCAM cell.

Dual 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 ...
متن کاملTCAM Core Design in 3D IC for Low Matchline Capacitance and Low Power
Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) has been an emerging technology for fast packet forwarding, commonly used in longest prefix match routing. Large table size requirements and wider lookup table data widths have led to higher capacity TCAM designs. However, the fully parallel characteristic of TCAM makes large TCAM design more challenging and limits its capacity due to intensive power co...
متن کاملIntegrated Optical Content Addressable Memories (CAM) and Optical Random Access Memories (RAM) for Ultra-Fast Address Look-Up Operations
Electronic Content Addressable Memories (CAM) implement Address Look-Up (AL) table functionalities of network routers; however, they typically operate in the MHz regime, turning AL into a critical network bottleneck. In this communication, we demonstrate the first steps towards developing optical CAM alternatives to enable a re-engineering of AL memories. Firstly, we report on the photonic inte...

Fig. 1. FinFET device structures. (a) Shorted-gate FinFET. (b) Independent-gate FinFET. Abstract—An independent-gate FinFET can operate in two modes: SG (shorted-gate) and IG (independent-gate) modes, and thus a FinFET-based circuit offers rich design options for lower power, better performance or reduced transistor count. In this paper, we present two novel dynamically power-gated FinFET TCAM ...
