Abstract

This paper presents the prototype framework for automated integration of CMOS current-mode fuzzy logic circuits using an intelligent module approach. The library of modules representing the standard fuzzy logic operators was built. These modules were finally used to synthesized sophisticated fuzzy logic units. Fuzzy unit designs were made based upon the results of a newel methodology of the current mirror-based fuzzy logic function synthesis. This methodology is actually incorporated into the presented framework. As an example, the membership function unit was synthesized, simulated, and the final layout was generated using the presented framework. Finally, the fuzzy logic controller unit (FLC) was generated using the proposed framework. Simulation as well as measurement results show unquestionable advantages of the proposed fuzzy logic function integration system over the classical design methodology with respect to the area, relative error and performance.
