Abstract

Memory cells are provided. A memory cell includes a first data storage cell, a second data storage cell and a match cell. The first data storage cell includes a first pull-down transistor, a first pull-up transistor and a first pass-gate transistor. The second data storage cell includes a second pull-down transistor, a second pull-up transistor, and a second pass-gate transistor. The match cell includes a first data transistor and a second data transistor. The first data transistor is electrically connected to the first pull-down transistor, the first pull-up transistor and the first pass-gate transistor. The second data transistor is electrically connected to the second pull-down transistor, the second pull-up transistor and the second pass-gate transistor.
