Abstract

CAM stands for content addressable memory. It is a special type of computer memory used in very high speed searching application. A CAM is a memory that implements the high speed lookup-table function in a single clock cycle using dedicated comparison circuitry. It is also known as associative memory or associative array although the last term used for a programming data structure. Unlike standard computer memory (RAM) in which user supplies the memory address and the RAM returns the data word stored in that memory address, CAM is designed in such a way that user supplies data word and CAM searches its entire memory to see if that data word stored anywhere in it. If the data word is found, the CAM returns a list of one or more storage address where the word was found. This design coding, simulation, logic synthesis and implementation will be done using various EDA tools.
