Using Building Blocks to Design Analog Neuro-Fuzzy Controllers

Abstract

We present a parallel architecture for fuzzy controllers and a methodology for their realization as analog CMOS chips for low- and medium-precision applications. These chips can be made to learn through the adaptation of electrically controllable parameters guided by a dedicated hardware-compatible learning algorithm. Our designs emphasize simplicity at the circuit level—a prerequisite for increasing processor complexity and operation speed. Examples include a three-input, four-rule controller chip in 1.5-μm CMOS, single-poly, double-metal technology
