Peak power consumption is below 5 watts.

Normal operating power is approximately 2.5 watts. The CMD250HDLP rapidly follows the CMOS Micro Device 2-megabit 400 million search per second CMD400, announced July 1, 2002. With proprietary scalable pipeline architecture and circuit techniques, CMOS Micro Device SRAM-based Ternary CAMs have more than three times the performance of today's leading products with similar processing technology. "Our technology provides an alternative to lower the cost and shorten the time to market for other CAM venders and companies that need embedded CAM," says Paul Huang, the Chief Technical Officer of CMOS Micro Device, Inc.
