    High speed content addressable memory with reduced size and less power consumption
    (UMT.Lahore, 2015) HAMMAD RIAZ
    Content Addressable Memory is a data storage device that is widely used in many applications. It is especially used in those applications needing fast memory access. However, due to use of parallel based search approach and frequent charge and discharge of Match lines and Bit lines/ search lines, the power consumption of CAM is considerable. This thesis presents an idea for reduction in power consumption of Ternary Content Addressable Memory over the chip. TCAM design techniques at the architectural level are reviewed and optimized solutions are provided. The size of CAM cell is further reduced with optimized speed and less power consumption. Some new types of ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) cells are proposed that can be utilized as per needs and requirements of the designers.
