Agilent Technologies has introduced the industry's first reference design kit for high-resolution, LED-based optical mice aimed at the PC gaming market.
Agilent Technologies has introduced the industry's first reference design kit for high-resolution, LED-based optical mice aimed at the PC gaming market.
The Agilent ADNK-3083 designer's kit gives mouse manufacturers the technical instructions and firmware needed to quickly implement a new corded optical-mouse design.
Agilent collaborated with Cypress Semiconductor to offer an optical mouse solution based on the Cypress CY7C63743-PXC microcontroller and the Agilent ADNS-3080, the industry's highest-performance LED-based optical mouse sensor for gaming mice.
"This is our fourth reference-design collaboration with Cypress", said Ngoh Kee Hane, Vice President and General Manager of the Navigation Products Division in Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group.
"Our previous joint reference designs addressed the low-cost, wireless and performance desktop and notebook market segments".
"Our latest collaboration provides manufacturers with a cost-effective, easy-to-use platform for accelerated development of high-performance corded optical mice for PC gaming enthusiasts".
"We're pleased to once again join forces with Agilent to make available the industry's highest-performance optical mouse solution", said Matthew Branda, Senior Marketing Manager for USB at Cypress.
"Agilent's kit includes everything a mouse manufacturer needs to rapidly create a new class of higher-performance, LED-based optical mice for the PC gaming market".
The Agilent ADNS-3080 is the industry's highest-performance LED-based optical mouse sensor.
It provides smoother, faster and more precise navigation control for the most demanding applications, including FPS (first-person shooter) PC games and professional graphics and CAD (computer-aided design) workstations.
The sensor uses a self-adjusting frame rate that automatically matches to surface characteristics for optimum performance.
The Cypress CY7C63743-PXC is an 8bit RISC microcontroller with an integrated USB serial interface engine.
High-performance, low-cost human interface peripherals such as optical mice can be implemented with a minimum of external components and firmware effort.
Communication between the CY7C63743-PXC microcontroller and the Agilent ADNS-3080 sensor is accomplished through the integrated serial peripheral interface.
The Agilent optical mouse reference design kit includes a sample optical mouse with complete schematics, layout and firmware.
It is available from Agilent as the ADNK-3083 optical mouse reference design kit.
