ADBM-A350
Optical Finger Navigation
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The ADBM-A350 sensor is a small form factor (SFF) optical
finger navigation system.
Low power architecture
Self-adjusting power-saving modes for longer battery
The ADBM-A350 is a low- power optical finger naviga-
tion sensor. It has a new, low-power architecture and
automatic power management modes, making it ideal for
battery-and power-sensitive applications such as mobile Self-adjusting frame rate for optimum performance
phones.
life
High speed motion detection up to 20ips
Motion detect interrupt
The ADBM-A350 is capable of high-speed motion
detection – up to 20ips. In addition, it has an on-chip
oscillator and integrated LED for optical navigation to
minimize external components.
Finger detect interrupt
Soft click and Tap detect interrupt
Single Interrupt pin
There are no moving parts, thus provide high reliabil-
ity and less maintenance for the end user. In addition,
precision optical alignment is not required, facilitating
high volume assembly.
Optional PWM output to control LED driver to enable il-
lumination feature when finger is on the sensor
Optional switch input for center click function
Internal oscillator – no clock input needed
The sensor is programmed via registers through either a
serial peripheral interface or a two wire interface port. It is
packaged into a 17-pin FPC module for ease of assembly
via ZIF connector.

Single 1.8V supply voltage for analog and digital
Internal power up reset (POR)
Theory of Operation
Selectable Input/Output voltage at 1.8V or 2.8V
The ADBM-A350 is based on Optical Finger Navigation
(OFN) Technology, which measures changes in position by
optically acquiring sequential surface images (frames) and
mathematically determining the direction and magnitude
of movement.
