Abstract :
A VLSI fuzzy chip with two 7 bit inputs has been designed to run at a rate of 80 ns. The chip has been designed in 0.7 μm CMOS technology and to reach such a speed the architecture is pipelined and only the active rules are processed. The design uses the VHDL as a front-end tool and has been synthesized by the Cadence Opus SW obtained via Europractice using the cell-based digital 0.7 μm CMOS ES2 technology library. The chip has been sent to the ES2 foundry to be constructed. The chip size is 14 square mm. The chip has been designed for high energy physics applications
