Content addressable memory using XNOR CAM matrix

One of the functional memories which stores the huge amount of data and returns the matching data address after comparing the input search data with the stored data. CAM has a single clock cycle throughput so it is faster than other search systems. CAM is also said to be as associative memory, associative storage or associative array. CAM is one type of search engine which used in associative computing, lookup tables, databases and networking. In this paper, the CAM matrix has been proposed. The proposed CAM matrix architecture is designed with BCAM. When searching, the design process is used to eliminate the parallel comparisons. While comparing with conventional design, the proposed design reduces the power consumption and increases the speed.
