Project Code :TVPGTO65

Objective

The main objective of this project is to design the CAM structure with high performance in terms of area, power, and speed. The CAM structure is designed with a novel 2T XOR method and it is used to replace the 4T XOR module to better perform

Abstract

In this project, a novel 2T XOR module is introduced to replace 4T XOR module in order to achieve high speed, low power consumption, low area in Parameter extractor. Parameter extractor is the main part of the CAM that consumes more power and it uses an array of XOR gates which leads to more power dissipation. Simulation results show that the 2T XOR module consumes less power and high speed when compared with 14T and4T XOR gates. The proposed design is implemented using 180nm technology in Cadence Virtuoso.

Keywords: Content Addressable Memory (CAM), 4T XOR, 2T XOR, Logic Gates.
