    Abstract: A CAM cell is disclosed that can be selectively configured to store either base-2 data words or base-3 data words. When configured to store base-3 data words, the quaternary CAM cell compares 3 comparand bits representative of a base-3 comparand value with the base-3 data value stored in the CAM cell. Storing base-3 data words in such CAM cells increases the data storage density of associated CAM arrays.

    Abstract: A CAM device for comparing a search key with a plurality of ternary words stored in a CAM array includes one or more population counters, a pre-compare memory, and a pre-compare circuit. The present embodiments reduce the power consumption of CAM devices during compare operations between a search key and ternary words stored in a CAM array by selectively enabling the match lines in the CAM array in response to pre-compare operations between a set of population counts corresponding to the masked search key and a set of population counts corresponding to the ternary words stored in the CAM array.
