Field-programmable analog filters array with applications for fuzzy inference systems

Encouraged by the recent progress in the FPAA technology, we propose a flexible membership functions synthesis method based on the configurable filter blocks. Based on the actual paradigm of FPAA we consider an interesting and promising idea to implement the membership functions using the frequency-response curves of the analog filters. The other specific functional blocks can be implemented with programmable analog structures obtaining a complete unit for fuzzy inference processing.
