Abstract :
Our analog fuzzy processor features an inference speed of more than 1 million fuzzy logical inferences per second, excluding defuzzification. A rule chip processes fuzzy inferences while a second chip handles defuzzification, a functional division that facilitates flexible system configuration. The chips are compact fuzzy systems that save chip area and are suitable for built-in applications. They process high-speed fuzzy logic operations in parallel mode and, during execution of fuzzy inferences, feature an adaptable fuzzy system based on a rule set
