Higher density and lower standby power are demanded in ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM), that realizes huge number of information retrieval at a time with its fully parallel manner. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a four-MOS-transistor/two-MTJ-device (4T-2MTJ) cell circuit for a standby-power-free and high-density fully parallel nonvolatile TCAM. By optimally merging a nonvolatile storage function and a comparison logic function into the TCAM cell circuit with nonvolatile logic-in-memory structure, the transistor counts required in the cell circuit become minimized. As a result, the cell size becomes 3.14 $\mu m^2$ under a 90-nm CMOS and a 100-nm MTJ technologies. |
