ABSTRACT:
A word line driver circuit is coupled to a word line of an associated Content Addressable Memory (CAM) array. The word line driver circuit adjusts the word line read voltage in response to a compare signal indicative of whether the CAM array is performing a concurrent compare operation. For some embodiments, the word line driver circuit selectively provides a relatively high word line read voltage or a relatively low word line read voltage in response to the compare signal.
