Abstract:
A method for putting into operation an integrated circuit that comprises a logic processor, a program memory of the logic processor, a fuzzy logic coprocessor, and a random-access memory linked with the fuzzy logic processor, said method comprising the steps of:producing an address signal by the logic processor to gain access to a memory zone of the random-access memory; receiving, by the logic processor directly through an analog-to-digital converter, one or more information elements corresponding to one or more analog inputs; processing the one or more information elements; receiving signals from outside the integrated circuit to an input/output circuit of the integrated circuit, said received signals including executable program instructions to be executed by the fuzzy logic coprocessor; providing, under control of the logic processor, electrical states corresponding to the received signals on a data bus linked with the random-access memory; and producing a command signal with the logic processor in order to store information in the memory zone of the random-access memory that has been accessed, said information representing the executable program instructions to be executed by the fuzzy logic coprocessor and wherein said information corresponds to the electrical states.
