Some of the key benefits of Avago’s BT 2.1 SoC laser sensor are that it enables simple pairing for easy and secure connectivity with the BT host, as well as power savings to help extend battery life. This laser navigation sensor engine was developed to meet the demands of designers who require innovative mouse sensor products that offer enhanced performance, and easy integration to help shorten their product development cycles.
Avago’s SoC BT navigation engine is the first mouse sensor that is fully synched between the BT navigation core and baseband. It provides excellent tracking on virtually all surfaces and is capable of high-speed motion detection of up to 30ips and acceleration of 8g to help improve the overall end user experience. Additionally, this SoC mouse sensor is designed to support up to 10 buttons, both mechanical and optical z-wheel, and tilt-wheel functions. This BT laser sensor also meets IEC/EN60825-1 Class 1 Eye Safety standards and does not require laser calibration which helps to reduce assembly time and design cost.
The motion output of Avago’s BT laser sensor is a selectable 12-bit HID data-reporting format. It also has a stand-alone baseband processor with an integrated 2.4-Ghz transceiver. The built-in radio provides low-power, and robust communications for applications operating in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band. These features combined with Avago’s BT 2.1 LaserStream sensor and 100 percent synch capability will enable customers to design feature rich mouse solutions which extends long battery life.
Avago pioneered the optical navigation technology found in many of the mice being used throughout the world today. To date, Avago has shipped over a billion optical navigation sensors to a wide range of global customers.
