Ternary Content‐Addressable Memory Using One Capacitor and One Nanoelectromechanical Memory Switch for Data‐Intensive Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A charge‐domain ternary content‐addressable memory using one capacitor one nanoelectromechanical memory switch (1C‐1N TCAM) is proposed for energy‐efficient, high‐reliability computations. Integrated with the back‐end‐of‐line process, the 1C‐1N TCAM leverages the air gap capacitance to achieve a high capacitance ratio and ternary functionality.

Review of Memristors for In‐Memory Computing and Spiking Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Memristors uniquely enable energy‐efficient, brain‐inspired computing by acting as both memory and synaptic elements. This review highlights their physical mechanisms, integration in crossbar arrays, and role in spiking neural networks. Key challenges, including variability, relaxation, and stochastic switching, are discussed, alongside emerging ...
