Abstract
Architectural innovations are reducing the dynamic power in ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs). Thus, the static power is becoming a significant portion of the total TCAM power. This paper presents two novel ternary storage cells that exploit the unique properties of TCAMs for reducing the cell leakage. Simulation results of the proposed cells show up to 41% leakage reduction over the conventional TCAM cell.
