Abstract :
The SAE 81C99 processor exhibits 4 different operation modes, 8 programmable fuzzy algorithms, and up to 256 inputs, 64 outputs, and 16,384 rules. The 1.0-μm CMOS chip serves as a stand-alone device or as an on-chip module for 8- or 16-bit microcontrollers. At 20-MHz crystal frequency and a maximum inference speed of 10 million rules/s, it supports very complex systems and millisecond (and faster) processes such as automotive electronics and pattern recognition.
