Microelectronic design of universal fuzzy controllers.
Fuzzy controllers have been proven to be universal, that is, they can provide any control surface. Their microelectronic implementation is very suitable to achieve high-speed (real-time operation), and low area and power consumption. This paper focuses on discussing the two basic approaches that can be employed to design programmable universal controller integrated circuits. Analog, mixed-signal and digital realizations are summarized and compared.
