ABSTRACT:
A dummy Content-addressable memory (CAM) cell and a dummy Ternary Content-addressable memory (TCAM) cell are connected to each row in a CAM and a ternary CAM array, respectively, to enable a differential match line sensing based on the content stored. The ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) cell is for a differential match line sensing in low power applications. A method includes generating a voltage difference between match line signal and a reference line signal, and then detecting and amplifying the voltage difference to determine a match or a mismatch.
