    摘要: A control circuit for a ternary content-addressable memory includes a first logic unit and a second logic unit. The first logic unit is coupled to a first storage unit, a second storage unit, a first search line, a second search line, a reference voltage terminal, and a match line. The second logic unit is coupled to the first storage unit, the second storage unit, the first search line, the second search line, a first power supply line and a second power supply line. When voltages at the first search line and the second search line match voltages at the first storage unit and the second storage unit, the second logic unit provides a path for electrically connecting the first power supply line to the second power supply line.

    摘要: A two-port ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) and layout pattern thereof, and associated memory device are provided. The two-port TCAM may include a first storage unit, a second storage unit, a set of first search terminals, a set of second search terminals, a first comparison circuit, a second comparison circuit, a first match terminal and a second match terminal, wherein the first comparison circuit is respectively coupled to the first storage unit, the second storage unit, the set of first search terminals and the first match terminal, and the second comparison circuit is respectively coupled to the first storage unit, the second storage unit, the set of second search terminals and the second match terminal. First search data and second search data may be concurrently inputted into the two-port TCAM for determining whether the first search data and the second search data match content data within the two-port TCAM.

    摘要: A high-density semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a bit line and a first memory unit. The bit line, disposed on the substrate, has a first side and a second side. The first memory unit includes a first transistor, a first capacitor, a second transistor and a second capacitor. The first transistor disposed on the substrate has a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal connects the bit line. The first capacitor connects the second terminal of the first transistor. The second transistor disposed on the substrate has a third terminal and a fourth terminal. The third terminal connects the bit line. The second capacitor connects the fourth terminal of the second transistor. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are separated from the bit line in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the bit line and located on the first side of the bit line.
