摘要：Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is a typ. of memory used for high-sp.ed search ap.lications. Due to p.rallel comp.rison feature, the CAM memory leads to large p.wer consump.ion which is caused by frequent p.e-charge or discharge of match line. In this p.p.r, CAM for automatic charge balancing with self-control mechanism is p.op.sed to control the voltage swing of ML for reducing the p.wer consump.ion of CAM. Another technique to reduce the p.wer dissip.tion is to use MSML, it combines the master-slave architecture with charge minimization technique. Unlike the conventional design, only one match line (ML) is used, whereas in Master-Slave Match Line (MSML) one master ML and several slave MLs are used to reduce the p.wer dissip.tion in CAM caused by match lines (MLs). Theoretically, the match line (ML) reduces the p.wer consump.ion up.to 50% which is indep.ndent of search and match case. The simulation results using Cadence tool of MSML show the reduced p.wer consump.ion in CAM and modified CAM cell.
