VLSI Design of Power Gated NOR-based Content Addressable Memory

content addressable memory provides high speed search function in a single clock cycle.CAM is power hungry because of its
parallel match line comparison. Thus we need to design low power high speed CAM designs. In this project the high speed will be
acquired by using parity bit. We introduce an effective gated power technique to reduce the peak and average power consumption. A
feedback loop is employed to auto turn off the power supply to the comparison elements and hence average power consumption by
75%. The proposed design can work at supply voltage o.35v
