Abstract(in English) Decreasing soft-error rate is necessary for SRAM-based TCAM which has high-performance and large memory capacity. Conventional ECC technique improves soft-error immunity of RAMs, but it is not suitable for TCAMs. The searching performance of TCAM with ECC circuit degrades seriously because of freezing their look-up processing during the maintenance period. This paper describes a novel TCAM architecture with associated embedded DRAM. The design concept improves the soft error immunity by 6digits, and also resolves the critical problems of the look-up table maintenance of TCAM. The proposed architecture in this paper is especially attractive for realizing soft-error immune, high-performance TCAM chips.
