High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
"Agilent's precision cordless optical mouse sensor is a breakthrough for desktop computer and notebook users", said Michael Huether, Director of Marketing Europe, Middle East and Africa, Semiconductor Products Division.
"Mouse manufacturers can now offer consumers performance equivalent to the best corded mice with the convenience of cordless operation".
Agilent pioneered position sensing for mouse technology and supplies these products to all major optical mouse manufacturers worldwide.
Optical mouse sensor technology works by taking thousands of digital pictures per second with a resolution of up to 800count/in to determine the movement of the on-screen cursor.
Optical mice eliminate the need for a mouse pad and offer more precise pointing and movement than mechanical mice.
And because optical mice have no ball or cavity, no cleaning is necessary, making them more reliable and longer lasting.
The Agilent ADNS-2030 optical mouse sensor offers flexibility to the designer of optical mice, with frame rates from 500 to 2300frame/s (a faster frame rate is desirable for mice used to play computer games), 400 or 800count/in resolution, and speeds up to 14in/s.
It provides automatic power conservation during periods when the mouse is not moved, and controlled drive for the LED light source.
It operates on a single power supply (3.3V typical, 3.6V maximum) and features on-chip LED drive and power conservation mode during times of no movement.
The ADNS-2030 contains an image acquisition system (IAS), a digital signal processor (DSP), a two-channel quadrature output, and a two-wire serial port.
The ADNS-2030 is designed to be used with the Agilent HDNS-2100 lens and HDNS-2200 clip with HLMP-ED80 light emitting diode (LED).
Together, these parts combine to form a complete, compact mouse sensor solution.
The Agilent ADNS-2030 optical mouse sensor is available now in production volumes.
The ADNS-2030 is delivered in a 16-pin staggered DIP. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
