Abstract

A ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) cell () can include two memory elements (-and-) with a single bit line (-and-) per memory element. A TCAM cell () can also include a compare stack () and two word lines (and) that can connect to each memory element (-and-). The memory elements (-and-) can include SRAM type memory cells with one of two data terminals connected to a pre-write potential (Vpre, which can be a ground potential, or the like). Write operations can include pre-setting the data values of memory elements (-and-) to the pre-write potential prior to providing write data via the bit lines (-and-).
