	  abstract     = {In this paper we present an energy efficient match-line
(ML) sensing scheme for high-speed ternary content-addressable
memory (TCAM). The proposed scheme isolates the sensing unit of
the sense amplifier from the large and variable ML capacitance. It
employs feedback in the sense amplifier to successfully detect a
match while keeping the ML voltage swing low. This reduced voltage
swing results in large energy saving. Simulation performed using
130nm 1.2V CMOS logic shows at least 30% total energy saving in
our scheme compared to popular current race (CR) scheme for
similar search speed. In terms of speed, dynamic energy, peak power
consumption and transistor count our scheme also shows better
performance than mismatch-dependant (MD) power allocation
technique which also employs feedback in the sense amplifier.
Additionally, the implementation of our scheme is simpler than CR
or MD scheme because of absence of analog control voltage and
programmable delay circuit as have been used in those schemes.},
