Abstract
A four transistor ternary content-addressable memory cell includes a first series connection of a first non-hysteretic transistor (e.g., a thin-film transistor) and a first memory transistor (e.g., a thin-film transistor) including a first memory element configured to store a first binary bit; and a second series connection of a second non-hysteretic transistor and a second memory transistor including a second memory element configured to store a second binary bit. The first series connection and the second series connection are connected in parallel between a match line and a word line.
