Abstract:
In a method, according to the invention, of storing one or more natural membership functions (MF-k) of respectively one or more natural variables (X-i) being each defined within a natural universe (UD-i) of discourse having a lowest natural value (LL-i) and a highest natural value (HK-i), the natural membership functions (MF-k) are normalized through respective normalization coefficients (NC-i) so that they are defined within the same predetermined absolute universe (UDA) of discourse having a lowest absolute value (LLA) and a highest absolute value (HLA), thereby obtaining one or more absolute membership functions (MFA), respectively, and said absolute membership functions (MFA) and said normalization coefficients (NC-i) are stored, taking account that identical absolute membership functions are stored only once.
Abstract:
An integrated device comprises a high-voltage transistor and a low-voltage transistor in an emitter-switching configuration integrated in a chip (400) of semiconductor material comprising a buried P-type region (120) and a corresponding P-type contact region (405) which delimit a portion of semiconductor material within which the low-voltage transistor is formed. The contact region (405) has a network structure such as to divide this portion of semiconductor material into a plurality of cells (410) within each of which there is an elemental P-type base region (425) and an elemental N-type emitter region (430) of the low-voltage transistor. The elemental regions (425) and (430) of the various cells (410) are electrically connected to one another by means of surface metal contacts.
