Abstract
A ternary content-addressable memory comprises a first switch, a first static random-access memory cell, a second switch and a second static random-access memory cell. The first switch is connected between a first search line and a match line. The first switch has a first control electrode. The first static random-access memory cell has a first storage node connected to the first control electrode of the first switch. The second switch is connected between a second search line and the match line. The second switch has a second control node. The second static random-access memory cell has a second storage node connected to the second control electrode of the second switch.
