    摘要: A time delay is determined to cover a timing of a memory cell in a memory macro having a tracking circuit. Based on the time delay, a capacitance corresponding to the time delay is determined. A capacitor having the determined capacitance is utilized. The capacitor is coupled to a first data line of a tracking cell of the tracking circuit. A first transition of the first data line causes a first transition of a second data line of the memory cell.

    摘要: A circuit includes a word line driver for driving a world line and a tracking word line driver for driving a tracking word line. The pulse width of a world line signal on the world line is driven to be larger than that of a tracking world line signal on the tracking world line to assist writing under difficult conditions. Because the tracking word line signal is activated later than the word line signal being activated but is deactivated at the same time with the word line, the pulse width of the word line signal is larger.

    摘要: A static CAM includes a plurality of entries E each including a number of CAM cells B and a summary S. Each CAM cell B is associated with a memory cell M and a comparator C. Generally, the CAM receives as input i number of lookup data lines. When data is received, memory cells M provide compared data for corresponding comparators C in CAM cells B to compare the compared data to the received data. If all compared data match all received data lines for an entry, then there is a hit for that entry. But if any compared data does not match the corresponding data line, then there is a miss for that line and therefore a miss for that entry. Depending on applications, the CAM returns an address if there is a hit for one or a plurality of entries.
