  abstract={In  applications where low cost is the primary concern, 
     analog VLSI controllers are an option.  In this paper a hardware
and software integrated toolkit for development of analog controllers
based on fuzzy logic is presented.  The system is composed of a CMOS
analog circuit whose input/output relationship can be programmed to
synthesize various control functions.  The value of the programmable
parameters can be automatically computed by the software tool,
assuming that the user specifies the controller expected behavior by
means of linguistic and/or numeric information.  A complete example of
how fuzzy linguistic and numerical methodologies can be combined with
more conventional techniques to synthesize a non-trivial controller is
detailed down to measured data.  A final discussion clarifies the main
advantages of the fuzzy analog computation when it is supported with
an appropriate software layer: non-trivial solutions to problems in
which accuracy is not the primary concern can be easily synthesized
and integrated into very small silicon areas with small power
requirements.}, }
