Abstract

The paper explains the design and the realization of a small size high-speed fuzzy processor. The processor goal is to give more flexibility to the front-end electronics for high-energy physics experiments. The chip can be applied as a general purpose data analyzer; particularly for analyzing and reducing on-line the data coming from detectors. The application of a fuzzy processor to this field allows rejecting redundant data in a very short time. The design of the fuzzy processor has been done using VHDL language; it is cell-based and has been implemented with Alcatel 0.35 µm CMOS VLSI technology. The chip architecture is pipelined with a clock frequency of 133 MHz; consequently the processing rate is 30 ns since only four active rules are processed. The chip size is 3 mm2 and the total power consumption is 200 mW with 3, 3 V of voltage supply.
