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-<emphasis><formula formulatype="inline"><tex>$\mu$</tex></formula></emphasis>m technology. The cell occupies a total area of 44 <emphasis><formula formulatype="inline"> <tex>$\times $</tex></formula></emphasis> 34 <emphasis><formula><tex>$\mu$</tex> </formula></emphasis>m<emphasis><formula><tex>$^{2}$</tex></formula></emphasis> and consumes a maximum current of 22 nA.
