In content addressable memory (CAM), large amounts of stored data are compared with an input data in parallel, and the contents and/or the addresses of any matches are then output. Such lookup capability is useful in many applications, including cache tag tables, image pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, packet switching in communication networks and hardware date base accelerators. We have proposed a low power consumption fully parallel content addressable ROM (CAROM) with Hamming distance search functions. In this paper, we carry out the layout design of the proposed CAROM using 0.35μm CMOS process design rule. Furthermore, the operating characteristics of the proposed CAROM are analyzed in detail and confirmed by HSPICE simulations with the device parameters obtained from the results of the layout design.
