A complete digitally - programmable analogue Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is presented. The design of some new functional blocks and the improvement of others aim towards speed optimisation with a reasonable accuracy, as it is needed in several analogue Signal Processing applications. A nine-rules, two-inputs and one-output prototype was fabricated and successfully tested using a standard CMOS 2.4microns technology showing good agreement with the expected performances, namely: 5.26 Mflips (Mega fuzzy logic inferences per second) at the pin terminals (@CL=13pF), 933 @W power consumption per rule (@Vdd=5V) and 5 to 6 bits of precision. Since the circuit is intended for a subsystem embedded in an application chip (@CL ≤@5pF) over 8 Mflips may be expected.
