Abstract
A pseudo ternary content addressable memory (PTCAM) device () can include a number of PTCAM blocks (-to-), each of which can include a number of standard PTCAM rows (-to-) and a standard memory row (-to-) for storing and providing mask information for the PTCAM rows. Redundancy for replacing a defective standard PTCAM row can be provided by a redundant section () that include fewer PTCAM rows than in a PTCAM block (-to-). Non-defective PTCAM rows within a standard PTCAM block containing a defective PTCAM row can continue to operate.
