Summary :

New circuit techniques were proposed to realize a high-density and high-performance content addressable memory (CAM). A dynamic register which functions as a status flag, and some logic circuits are organically combined and flexibly perform complex search operations, despite the compact layout area. Any kind of logic operations for the search results, that are AND, OR, INVERT, and the combinations of them, can be implemented in every word simultaneously. These circuits are implemented in an experimental 288 kbit dynamic CAM using 0.8 µm CMOS process technology. We consider these techniques to be indispensable for high-density and high-performance dynamic CAM.
