A new type of fuzzy inference chip adopting address-look-up and virtual paging method, i.e. sophisticated use of common digital memory devices, has been successfully developed. The characteristics of the inference chip are summarized first and then its theoretical background is introduced.
This inference chip possessing robust noise immunity executes any kind of fuzzy operations and variables using a limitless number of fuzzy production rules with unlimited fuzzy linguistic labels and free-shaped membership functions in continuous valued mode at high-speed (more than 60 MFLIPS) and low-cost. It can be easily linked to the commonly used digital computer system and furthermore helps to pave the way for harmonizing fuzzy system with crisp system to construct the next generation computer system.
