| Abstract: | Heat distribution of the artificial neural networks IC developed for controlling microrobots is described in this paper. We measured the temperature distribution of the designed IC using thermography. As a result, it is found that the major heat source is the current mirror part on the IC. However, it was observed that the part of the artificial neural networks also generated the heat. The heat contribution of the artificial neural network part was evaluated. As a result, the temperature rise of the artificial neural networks part on the IC was calculated to be 0.0535°C per second. |
