The aim of this paper is to analyze the problem of fault estimation for mode-dependent interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy systems with quantized output measurements. Different from the existing fault estimation methods requiring the observer matching condition, a new fault estimation technique is proposed, wherein a stochastically intermediate variable subject to the information on operating modes is considered under which a robust observer is constructed to simultaneously estimate the state and faults. Based on the strategy of linear matrix inequality, sufficient conditions are established to ensure that the states of resulting systems are bounded in probability sense. By offering three illustrative examples in which two of them are practical models, namely, tunnel diode circuit system and Rossler system, the availability and feasibility of the proposed design method are explained.
