Device Description
IDT provides proven, industry-leading network search engines
(NSEs) that enable and accelerate the intelligent processing of network
services in communications equipment. As a part of the complete IDT
classification subsystem that includes content inspection engines, the IDT
family of NSEs delivers high-performance, feature-rich, easy-to-use,
integrated search accelerators.
The IDT 75N43102 is ideally suited for cost-sensitive applications
in the enterprise and access markets. It is a full-ternary 32K x 72 entry
device where each entry location in the NSE has both a Data entry and
an associated Mask entry. The NSE devices integrate content addres-
sable memory (CAM) technology with high-performance logic. The
device can perform Lookup operations plus Read and Write maintenance
operations.
The IDT 75N43102 NSE device has a bi-directional bus that is a
multiplexed address and data bus that can support 62.5 million sustained
searches per second. This device can be configured to enable multiple
width lookups from 72 to 288 bits wide. The IDT 75N43102 requires a
1.5-volt V
DD1
supply and a 2.5-volt V
DD2
supply.
The IDT 75N43102 NSE utilizes the latest high-performance 1.5V
CMOS processing technology and is packaged in a JEDEC Standard,
256 pin low profile Ball Grid Array.

System Configurations
The IDT NSEs are designed to fulfill the needs of various types of
networking systems. In solutions requiring data searching such as
routers, a system configuration as shown in Figure 1.0 may be realized.
In this compatible configuration, the NSE interfaces directly to an
ASIC/ FPGA for lookups and routes an Index directly back to the ASIC/
FPGA. Control of the associated handshake signals is provided by the
NSEs for this configuration.

Bus Interface
The NSE utilizes a dual bus interface consisting of the NSE Request
Bus and the NSE Response Bus.
The NSE Request Bus is comprised of the Command Bus and the
Request Data Bus. The Command Bus handles the instruction to the NSE
while the Request Data Bus is the main data path to the NSE.
The 72 bit bi-directional Request Data Bus functions as a multiplexed
address and data bus, which performs the writing and reading of NSE
entries, as well as presenting lookup data to the device.
The NSE Response Bus is comprised of an independent unidirec-
tional Index Bus which drives the result of the lookup (or index) to an ASIC.
Command Bus
The Command Bus loads the specific instructions into the NSE. These
include:
s
Read or Write
A Read or Write instruction operates on a specified data entry, mask
entry, or register.
s
Lookup
A lookup can be requested in 72-bit, 144-bit or 288-bit widths. A 36-
bit lookup can be accomplished by using two Global Mask Registers.
Registers
There are three basic types of registers supported:
s
Configuration Registers are used at initialization to define the
segmentation of the entries.
s
Global Mask Registers are provided to support Lookup
instructions by masking individual bits during a search.
s
Reply Width Registers are used with Lookup operations.
Functional Highlights
Data and Mask Array
The NSE has Data cell entries and associ-
ated Mask cell entries as shown in Fig. 1.1. This
combination of Data and Mask cell entries en-
ables the NSE to store 0, 1 or X, making it a full
ternary Network Search Engine. During a
lookup operation, both arrays are used along
with a Global Mask Register to find a match to a
requested data word.

The Match Input signal is driven by the upstream Match Output signal. This indicates to the
down stream NSE that a hit in the higher priority NSE has occurred.
The Match Output signal sig nifies that a match has occurred in the NSE. The signal is fed
into the Match Input line of the lower priority NSE.

Description
Input
Input
This input sig nifies a valid input request and signals the start of an NSE operation cycle.
This defines the instruction to be performed by the NSE and selects a global mask
register.
Input/Output The Request Data Bus is a multiplexed address/data bus used to perform reads (and
Three State writes) from (to) the NSE, and to present search data for lookups.
Output
This bus is used to drive the Lookup result information directly to the NSE's ASIC/FPGA.
Three State The Index Bus contains the encoded location at which the compare was found.
Input
Input
Input
All inputs and outputs are referenced to the positive edge of this clock.
This signal is used to generate an internal clock at ½ the frequency of the input clock.
This pin will fo rce all outputs to a high impedence condition, as well as clearing the NSE
enable bit.
