    摘要: A content addressable memory (CAM) and a CAM cell are provided. The CAM includes a memory cell array and a disabling circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of CAM cells, wherein each of the CAM cells includes a memory cell circuit and a comparison circuit. When the CAM cells in a first column of the memory cell array are normal, the disabling circuit enables the comparison circuits of the CAM cells in the first column, so that the comparison circuits in the first column respectively present the comparison results on different match lines. When any one of the CAM cells in the first column is defective, the disabling circuit disables the comparison circuits of the CAM cells in the first column, so that the disabled comparison circuits does not affect the different match lines.

    摘要: An apparatus for performing baseline wander correction (BLWC) with the aid of differential wander current sensing includes filters and a correction circuit. The filters are positioned in a front-end circuit of a receiver and coupled to a set of input terminals of the receiver, and filter a set of input signals on the set of input terminals to generate a set of differential signals on a set of secondary terminals, for further usage by the receiver. The correction circuit is positioned in the frontend circuit and electrically connected to the set of input terminals and the set of secondary terminals, and performs BLWC on the set of differential signals according to the set of input signals. In the correction circuit, amplifiers and resistors form a differential wander current sensor to sense differential wander current, and a set of current mirrors generate corresponding baseline wander compensation current to perform BLWC.

    摘要: A switch device including a switch circuit and switch controller. The switch circuit comprises first and second switches to selectively enable a path between an input terminal and an output terminal. The switch controller refers to a selection signal and a switch signal to respectively generate a first switch control signal at a first switch control signal output terminal and a second switch control signal at a second switch control signal output terminal. When the voltage level of an input signal at the input terminal is larger than a power voltage, the switch controller generates the first switch control signal and the second switch control signal capable of turning off the switch circuit. When the voltage level of the input signal is not larger than the power voltage, the switch controller generates the first switch control signal and the second switch control signal according to the switch signal.
