Avago ADNS-9500 laser navigation sensor for gaming
Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, announced a new high-performance laser navigation sensor 'ADNS-9500' designed for use in high-end, professional gaming applications.
Based on Avago's revolutionary LaserStream optical navigation technology, the ADNS-9500 features a powerful navigation engine that enables extremely high-speed motion detection and high resolution to provide precise tracking capabilities which are required for many of today's most popular gaming applications. This new laser sensor is ideal for use in corded and cordless gaming laser mice, optical trackballs and a variety of motion input devices the require precise, high-speed tracking on a variety of different surfaces.
Avago's ADNS-9500 gaming sensor incorporates an embedded pre-calibrated VCSEL in a single chip-on-board package to simplify manufacturing complexity. A separate round lens (ADNS-6190-002), which is available from Avago, is all that's needed to complete the solution. The two components provide a complete and compact navigation system that has no moving parts. Moreover, a laser calibration process is not required to complete the sensor package making it ideal for high volume assembly. Some of the enhanced features offered by the ADNS-9500 include programmable frame rate and resolution, as well as configurable lift detection to satisfy the preferences of PC gamers.
