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).
This means that the sensors are able to interface with multiple microcontrollers, providing a flexible optical mouse architecture that does not limit the mouse design to just one specific type of microcontroller.
These new sensors are based on optical navigation technology that measures changes in position by taking thousands of digital pictures and mathematically determining the direction and magnitude of movement at up to 400 counts per inch, at speeds up to 12 inches per second.
Both Agilent sensors are supplied in a miniature 8-pin staggered DIP, with dimensions of 9.9 x 9.1 x 4.6mm for the moulded package.
While the ADNS-2610 provides a fixed sampling rate of 1500 frames per second, the ADNS-2620 combines a programmable rate of up to 2300 frames per second, with an LED strobe mode for an enhanced navigation performance.
Both sensors operate from a single 5V supply, and both conform to USB suspend mode specifications.
Agilent's new entry-level sensors contain an image acquisition system, a DSP and a two-wire serial port.
They are designed to be used with the Agilent HDNS-2100 lens, HDNS-2200 LED assembly clip and HLMP-ED80-XXXXX LED illumination source.
Together, these parts combine to form a complete, compact mouse sensor solution. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
