A field programmable analog array for continuous, fuzzy, and multi-valued logic applications

We propose a novel approach to the realization of continuous, fuzzy, and multi-valued logic (mvl) circuits. We demonstrate how a general-purpose field programmable analog array (FPAA), with cells realizing simple arithmetic operations on signals, can be used for this purpose. The FPAA, which is being implemented in a bipolar transistor array technology, operates from /spl plusmn/3.3 V or /spl plusmn/5 V power supplies and works in the range of frequencies up to several hundred MHz.<<ETX>>
