Circuit and method for evaluating fuzzy logic rules

摘要

In a data processing system (10) implementing a fuzzy logic operation, a switching mechanism (802) is implemented to provide a selection between a variable format rule base (803) and a fixed format rule base. The variable format rule base utilizes buffers between fuzzy input addresses and fuzzy output addresses, while the fixed format rule base does not require such buffers since a number of fuzzy input addresses and fuzzy output addresses is predetermined.
