Abstract
A ternary content addressable memory unit includes a first inverter, a second inverter, a third inverter, a fourth inverter, a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, a fifth transistor, a sixth transistor, a seventh transistor, and an eighth transistor. The first inverter includes an input terminal, and an output terminal coupled to a first node. The second inverter includes an input terminal coupled to the first node and an output terminal coupled to the input terminal of the first inverter. The third inverter includes an input terminal coupled to a second node and an output terminal. The fourth inverter includes an input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the third inverter and an output terminal coupled to the second node.
