Synopsys TCAM Compilers

Synopsys embedded ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs) help networking designers meet the demand for wire-speed packet processing, access control lists and more for high-bandwidth delivery. Synopsys ternary CAM compilers are available in geometries from 3nm to 180nm across multiple foundries.

High-Performance, High-Density Embedded CAM Compilers for Network Applications

Synopsys offers a broad range of feature-rich, high-performance, high-density embedded TCAM compilers. Our ternary CAM compilers provide high-efficiency, cost-effective solutions for applications such as network search engines, cache for network processors, QoS services, classifications, Ethernet, ATM switches and other diverse networking applications.

User-Selectable Features

In addition to a full set of standard features, Synopsys TCAM compilers provide a comprehensive set of user-selectable features that are chosen at compile time. Designers can choose exactly the features that they need for a specific application to optimize performance, power or area (PPA).

  • Partial pipelined search
  • Priority encoder
  • Redundancy

Synopsys CAM designs are available from 3nm to 180nm process geometries across multiple foundries, optimized to meet challenging PPA requirements of IDM and leading foundry processes. We can supply ternary CAM instances or compilers to fit the number of instances required.
