Abstract:
A non- volatile content addressable memory cell comprises: a first phase change material element, the first phase change material element having one end connected to a match-line; a first transistor, the first transistor having a gate connected to a word-line, a source connected to a true bit-read- write-search-line, and a drain connected to another end of the first phase change material element; a second phase change material element, the second phase change material element having one end connected to the match-line; and a second transistor, the second transistor having a gate connected to the word-line, a source connected to a complementary bit- read-write-search-line, and a drain connected to another end of the second phase change material element.
Abstract:
A memory storage system (10) is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the memory storage system includes a plurality of memory storage banks (12) and a cache (14) in communication therewith. Both the plurality of memory storage banks (12) and the cache (14) further include destructive read memory storage elements.
