Abstract :
This paper proposes a sense amplifier for adiabatic memory using memristor. The proposed sense amplifier uses current rate sensing method. In simulation the proposed sense amplifier is to connect the content addressable memory (CAM) with adiabatic driving. From the results we show that the proposed circuit is correctly operated and its power dissipation is 36.1 pJ/cycle.
