Abstract
A content addressable memory (CAM) device having any number of rows, each of the rows including a match line connected to a plurality of CAM cells, a match line detector circuit, and a pre-charge circuit. The detector circuit detects a voltage of the match line and generates a feedback signal based on the detected match line voltage. The pre-charge circuit adaptively charges the match line in response to the feedback signal.
