A Low-Power Current Mode Fuzzy-ART Cell

This paper presents a very large scale integration (VLSI) implementation of a low-power current-mode fuzzy-adaptive resonance theory (ART) cell. The cell is based on a compact new current source multibit memory cell with online learning capability. A small prototype of the designed cell and its peripheral block has been fabricated in the AustriaMicroSystems (AMS)-0.35-mum technology. The cell occupies a total area of 44 times 34 mum2 and consumes a maximum current of 22 nA
