ABSTRACT:
An encoding scheme is disclosed that allows a CAM device to selectively store, within each cell of a row of the CAM device, either a single bit of a binary value or two bits of an encoded data word encoded from the binary value. By storing two bits of the encoded data word in each CAM cell, data may be stored more efficiently and CAM systems may consume less power. The encoded data words can be balanced data words that have equal number of logic high and logic low values.
