ADNS-2610
Optical Mouse Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The ADNS-2610 is a new entry level, small form factor
optical mouse sensor. It is used to implement a non-
mechanical tracking engine for computer mice. Unlike
its predecessor, this new optical mouse sensor allows for
more compact and affordable optical mice designs.
It is based on optical navigation technology, which mea-
sures changes in position by optically acquiring sequential
surface images (frames) and mathematically determining
the direction and magnitude of movement.
The sensor is housed in an 8-pin staggered dual inline
package (DIP). It is designed for use with the HDNS-2100
Lens, HLMP-ED80-XX000, and the HDNS-2200 LED Clip,
providing an optical mouse solution that is compact and
affordable. There are no moving parts, so precision opti-
cal alignment is not required, thereby facilitating high
volume assembly.
The output format is a two wire serial port. The current X
and Y information are available in registers accessed via
the serial port.
Resolution is 400 counts per inch (cpi) with rates of motion
up to 12 inches per second (ips).
Theory of Operation
The ADNS-2610 is based on Optical Navigation Technol-
ogy. It contains an Image Acquisition System (IAS), a Digi-
tal Signal Processor (DSP) and a two wire serial port.
The IAS acquires microscopic surface images via the lens
and illumination system provided by the HDNS-2100,
HDNS-2200, and HLMP-ED80-XX000. These images are
processed by the DSP to determine the direction and
distance of motion.
