Super leakage current cut-off device for ternary content addressable memory

摘要

A super leakage current cut-off device for a ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) is provided. For various operations of the TCAM, the device uses the high-end and low-end power gating control transistors to turn on/off the don't-care cells to reduce the leakage current passing through the don't-care cells.
