BASED TCAM

Abstract—This paper involves the design and implementation of a parity bit based TCAM on FPGA using VHDL.CAM is a special type of memory used in certain high speed search applications. TCAMs are the memories that searches the data on the basis of contents stored them. If a match is found it returns the address of the data, unlike RAM in which data is returned for a given address. TCAM compares input data against the stored data in parallel and outputs the address of matched data. This model actually represents the textual description of a hardware design or a piece of design which, when simulated mimics the design behavior.
