TSMC CLN7FF Ternary Content Addressable Memory Compiler with Column Redundancy

Overview

IGMTLSX06A is a synchronous LVT / ULVT periphery high-density ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) with column redundancy feature. It is developed with TSMC 7nm 0.75V/1.8V CMOS LOGIC FinFET Process. Different combinations of words and bits could be used to generate the most desirable configurations.
Given the desired size and timing constraints, the IGMTLSX06A compiler is capable of providing suitable synchronous TCAM instances models within minutes. It is capable of automatically generating the data sheets, Verilog behavioral simulation models, Place & Route (P & R) models, and test patterns for use in ASIC designs. The duty cycle length could be neglected as long as setup/hold time and minimum high/low pulse widths requirements are satisfied. This allows a more flexible clock falling edge during each operation.
