Abstract
Conference Title: 2017 IEEE 60th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS) Conference Start Date: 2017, Aug. 6 Conference End Date: 2017, Aug. 9 Conference Location: Boston, MA, USA Associate and approximate computing using resistive memory based Ternary Content Addressable Memory is becoming widely used. In this paper, a simplified model based analysis of a 2T2M-Ternary Content Addressable Memory using memristors is introduced. A comprehensive study is presented taking into consideration different circuit parameters and parasitic effects. Parameters such as the memristor R h /R l ratio, transistor technology, operating frequency, and memory width are taken into consideration. The proposed model is verified with SPICE showing a high degree of matching between theory and simulation. The utility of the model is established using a design example.
