ADNS-6000
Laser Mouse Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
Applications
• Mice for game consoles and computer games
The Avago Technologies ADNS-6000 sensor along with
the ADNS-6120 or ADNS-6130-001 lens, ADNS-6230-001
clip and ADNV-6340 laser diode form a complete and
compact laser mouse tracking system. It is world’s first
laser-illuminated laser mouse navigation systems for
corded applications. Enabled with Avago Technologies
LaserStream, It can operate on many surface that prove
difficult for traditional LED-based optical navigation. It’s
high-speed mouse motion - with velocity up to 20 inches
per second and accelerations up to 8g.
• Mice for desktop PC’s, Workstations, and portable
PC’s
• Trackballs
• Integrated input devices
Features
• High speed motion detection – up to 20 ips and 8g
• New LaserStream architecture for greatly improved
optical navigation technology
There is no moving part in the complete assembly for
ADNS-6000 laser mouse system, thus it is high reliability
and less maintenance for the end user. In additional, pre-
cision optical alignment is not required, facilitating high
volume assembly.
• Programmable frame rate over 6400 frames per sec-
ond
• SmartSpeed self-adjusting frame rate for optimum
performance
Theory of Operation
• Serial port burst mode for fast data transfer
• 400 or 800 cpi selectable resolution
• Single 3.3 volt power supply
The ADNS-6000 is based on LaserStream Technol-
ogy, which measures changes in position by optically
acquiring sequential images (frames) and math-
ematically determining the direction and magnitude of
movement.
• Four-wire serial port along with Power Down, and
Reset pins
• Laser fault detect circuitry on-chip for Eye Safety
ADNS-6000 contains an Image Acquisition System (IAS), a
Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and a four wire serial port.
The IAS acquires microscopic surface images via the lens
and illumination system. These images are processed
by the DSP to determine the direction and distance
of motion. The DSP calculates the ∆x and ∆y relative
displacement values. An external microcontroller reads
the ∆x and ∆y information from the sensor serial port.
The microcontroller then translates the data into PS2 or
USB signals before sending them to the host PC or game
console.
