Sumario:The AMchip is a VLSI device that implements the associative memory function, a special content\naddressable memory specifically designed for high energy physics applications and first used in the\nCDF experiment at Tevatron. The 4th generation of AMchip has been developed for the core pattern\nrecognition stage of the Fast TracKer (FTK) processor: a hardware processor for online reconstruction\nof particle trajectories at the ATLAS experiment at LHC. We present the architecture, design\nconsiderations, power consumption and performance measurements of the 4th generation of AMchip.\nWe present also the design innovations toward the 5th generation and the first prototype results.
