Abstract
A content addressable memory that may have reduced charge consumption when switching compare lines is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a content addressable memory (CAM) (300) with paired compare lines (CMP and CMP.backslash.) can include an equalization circuit (320) between the two compare lines (CMP and CMP.backslash.). An equalization circuit (320) can enter a low-impedance mode when an equalization control signal (EQU.backslash.) is in one state and enter a high-impedance mode when an equalization control signal (EQU.backslash.) is in another state. An equalization control signal (EQU.backslash.) may be governed by an output pulse of a transition detector (312).
