  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel low power content addressable memory (CAM) using pass transistor adiabatic logic (PAL). The PAL CAM uses adiabatic principle in the read, write and compare operations. The SPICE simulation of 16×16 CAM indicates around 95% of power saving at 10MHz operating frequency compared to conventional design. The circuits are designed using 0.6μm CMOS technology.
