    摘要: A static, ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) includes a key cell and a mask cell coupled to intermediate match lines. The key cell is coupled to a first pull-down transistor and a first pull-up transistor. The mask cell is coupled to a second pull-down transistor and a second pull-up transistor. The first pull-down transistor and second pull-down transistor are connected in parallel and the first pull-up transistor and second pull-up transistor are connected in series. A match line output is also coupled to the first pull-down transistor and second pull-down transistor and further coupled to the first pull-up transistor and second pull-up transistor.

    摘要: Systems, circuits and methods for controlling the word line voltage applied to word line transistors (410) in Spin Transfer Torque Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (STT-MRAM) are disclosed. One embodiment is directed to a STT-MRAM including a bit cell having a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ, 405) and a word line transistor. The bit cell is coupled to a bit line (420) and a source line (440). A word line driver (432) is coupled to a gate of the word line transistor. The word line driver is configured to provide a word line voltage greater than a supply voltage below "a transition voltage of the supply voltage and to provide a voltage less than the supply voltage for supply voltages above the transition voltage.
