Abstract
Translation lookaside buffers (TLB) are an essential component to speed up virtual to physical address translation in modern microprocessors. Here, hierarchical NAND content addressable memory (CAM) match lines are used to achieve low power. Simulations on a 65 nm foundry process show single-cycle accesses with a clock to physical address output delay of 168 ps. For large (16MB) page sizes the match line energy is reduced up to 81% compared to NOR match lines.
