    Abstract: Various embodiments include approaches for analyzing a customer design for an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). In some cases, an approach includes: determining performance requirements of the customer design; querying a test screen database for the performance requirements of the customer design, the test screen database having failure thresholds and associated test screens for detecting the failure thresholds for a set of ASIC devices; generating a filter database including select failure thresholds and associated test screens for the performance requirements of the customer design; and selecting a set of test screens from the filter database based upon a yield cost criteria in forming the ASIC.

    Abstract: Words of data are maintained in content-addressable memory cells arranged in rows. Two of the rows are timing reference rows, and the remainder of the rows are data rows that maintain the words of data. The data rows form individual matchlines. A first of the reference rows forms a precharge reference matchline, and a second of the reference rows forms an evaluation reference matchline. The timing for the individual matchlines to precharge is based on the time to precharge the precharge reference matchline, and timing for the individual matchlines to evaluate a search word is based on the time for the evaluation reference matchline to evaluate the search word.
