    摘要: A content addressable memory (CAM) with built-in power saving management. The CAM includes a comparator circuit region that is coupled to a match line (ML) as well as a swing line (SL). The comparator circuit region is coupled to CAM cells. The comparator region is adapted for comparing match data with stored data within the CAM cells. The ML has its ML voltage level pre-charged to a pre-charge voltage level (Vc). Additionally, the SL is pre-charged to ground. In turn, in response to a data mismatch detected by the comparator, the ML voltage level drops from Vc by a ML voltage swing (Vswing) while the SL charge shares with the Ml. Advantageously, in response to this data mismatch, the SL charge shares with the ML such that Vswing is approximately less or equal to Vc/2. That is, the charge sharing prevents the ML from discharging all the way to ground. Thus, because Vswing is as large as Vc in a conventional CAM whereas Vswing is as large as about Vc/2 in the invention, the invention's Vswing restriction provides significant more power saving.

    摘要: A ternary state content addressable memory (CAM) cell that includes two DRAM cells. In addition to a port for controlling and transmitting data to the CAM, another port is exclusively used for refreshing the DRAM cells. A refresh word line is coupled to the two DRAM cells for performing DRAW cell refresh. A refresh bit line is coupled to the first of the two DRAM cells for refreshing this first DRAM cell. A refresh bit line is coupled to the second of the two DRAM cells for refreshing this second DRAM cell. Problematic power consumption and voltage swing found in a conventional CAM are overcome in the CAM. A swing line (SL) is coupled to said first and second DRAM cells and a local match line (LML) of said CAM cell, said SL having an adjustable voltage level for changing voltage swing in said LML to regulate trade-off between power consumption and speed of said CAM cell.

    摘要: A word line stitch mechanism to be used in high-density DRAMs is presented herein. The word line stitch mechanism of the present invention eliminates the problem caused by using the conventional word line stitch methods of the prior art in the high-density DRAMs. In the present invention, the word lines are segmented with an space between the two adjacent word line segments. Thereafter, the contacts between the word line segments and the associated metal layers are established such that the contact overlap areas are completely adjacent to all or a portion of the spaces between the word line segments of the adjacent word lines.
