Avago Technologies Introduces Industry's Thinnest Optical Mouse Sensor With Integrated LED Bundle and Trim Lens.Revolutionary Series of Low-Power, Ultra-Thin Mouse Sensors Ideal for Compact Travel Mice, Optical Pen Mice and Consumer Electronic Product Applications TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. , today announced a new series of small form factor (SFF (Small Form Factor) Refers to a device that is smaller than others in its field. For example, a miniature display on a cellphone is an SFF device because displays can be extremely large on monitors and TVs by comparison. See form factor. ) optical mouse sensors with an integrated chip-on-board (COB) LED illuminated optical navigation system A GPS-based electronic system in a car or truck that provides a real time map of the vehicle's current location as well as step-by-step directions to a programmed destination. See GPS and vehicle tracking. that is the thinnest in the industry. With a compact package that is 97 percent smaller than its classic navigation bundle set (ADNB-3042), Avago's ADNB-3532/52 integrated optical sensor bundle with trim lens is a complete mouse tracking system and the first optical mouse bundle that can be used with surface mount technology (SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount. (2) (Station ManagemenT) An FDDI network management protocol that provides direct management. Only one node requires the software. SMT - Station Management ) processes. This new series of innovative mouse sensors from Avago will enable designers of optical mice applications to use automated manufacturing processes to increase productivity and provide consistent quality in the production of miniature mice for a wide variety of computer and consumer applications that use cordless input devices. Avago is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. With the introduction of the low-power ADNB-3532/52 COB LED optical sensor bundle series, Avago has broken the size limitation barrier that mouse designers have been faced with over the years. The ADNB-3532/52 provides high speed motion detection - up to 20 inches per second (ips) and 8 g, and an on-chip oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air and integrated LED to minimize the number of external components required for the design. Avago's ADNB-3532/52 series consist of a low-power architecture and automatic power management modes, making them ideal for use in battery and power-sensitive applications such as compact travel mice for notebook PCs, optical pen mice, optical trackballs and a variety of other cordless input devices used in consumer electronic applications. Avago pioneered optical sensing optical sensing, in general, any method by which information that occurs as variations in the intensity, or some other property, of light is translated into an electric signal. This is usually accomplished by the use of various photoelectric devices. for mouse technology and continues to be a trend setter setter: see sporting dog. setter Any of three breeds derived from a medieval hunting dog that would set (lie down) when it found birds so that it and the birds could be covered with a net. Setters have long hair on the ears, chest, legs, and tail. in providing entry-level to next-generation optical and laser mouse sensors to all major LED and laser optical-mouse manufacturers worldwide. To date, Avago has shipped over 700 million mouse sensors to mouse manufacturers throughout the world. Avago's ADNB-3532/52 series are based on optical navigation technology which measures changes in position by optically acquiring sequential surface images (frames) and mathematically determining the direction and magnitude of movement. The ADNB-3532/52 contains an Image Acquisition System (IAS See iPlanet Application Server. 1. (computer) IAS - The first modern computer. It had main registers, processing circuits, information paths within the central processing unit, and used Von Neumann's fetch-execute cycle. ), a Digital Signal Processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing.

The ADNB-3532/52 series is designed to provide different mounting options to the mouse printed circuit board (PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. ). With dimensions of 12.9 mm long (L) by 9.6 mm wide (W) by 3.25 mm high (H), Avago's ADNB-3532 comes with solder pads only at the bottom side of the mouse PCB, which does not require a cut out. The ADNB-3552, which has dimensions of 12.9 mm L by 12.5 mm W by 3.25 mm H, has solder pads on both sides of the sensor and can be mounted on either the top with a cut out on the PCB to reduce the overall thickness or on the bottom of the mouse PCB.

Avago Optical Mouse Sensor Solutions Avago Technologies provides a broad portfolio of mouse sensors, ranging from inexpensive, entry-level and high-precision LED-based models to a range of sensors incorporating Avago's revolutionary LaserStream mouse technology. Since their introduction, optical mice powered by Avago's optical sensing technology have become the standard in computer input devices. Optical mice eliminate the need for a mouse pad A fabric-covered rubber pad roughly 9" square that provides a smooth surface for rolling a mouse. There are also mouse pads that provide a better surface; for example, 3M makes the Precise Mousing Surface, an ultra-thin mouse pad that is engineered to reduce friction. and offer more precise pointing and movement than mechanical mice. Because optical mice have no ball or cavity, no cleaning is necessary, making them more reliable and longer lasting.
