Optical mouse sensor is an essential part in currently popular optical mouse used as a computer peripheral. It takes thousands of surface images every second, measures changes in the captured images, and mathematically determines the direction and magnitude of mouse movement.


Unlike traditional ball mice, optical mice provide a smoother and more accurate response. It runs virtually any type of surfaces except very glossy surface and glass, and no cleaning is required.

ATLab is a world leading optical sensor supplier that offers its own unique proprietary technologies. ATLab thrives for new technologies and offers a wide range of optical sensor selection.

ATLab uses its own proprietary technologies to implement optical mouse sensors and the key difference from other optical mouse sensors is that ATLab optical mouse sensors are designed based on system-level architecture so that it can eliminate side parts resulting in saving extra manufacturing costs. For example, if you want to implement a 3-button, PS/2, 800cpi optical mouse, using ATA2180A, you will only need three passive components (one resistor and two capacitors). Similarly, it is worth of noting that ATA1160 series include MCU, Transmitter, DC/DC converter with optical navigation sensor within one package simplify your implementation of 27MHz RF wireless optical mouse.

 

ATLab's optical navigation sensor provides various state-of-the-art and value-added technologies and functionalities. These advanced technologies such as eye protection technique, single-channel touch sensor and self-adaptive power saving technique ensures the users to feel a step ahead of time.

Eye protection (EP) is an ATLab's patented technology and it turns off the light source and/or reduces its power to minimum when user lifts the mouse off the surface. This technology not only minimizes the power consumption, but also protects user's eyes from the potentially harmful or at least dazzling light source such as LED (Light-Emitting-Diode) and laser.

Single-channel touch sensor enables/disables the mouse when user puts his/her hand on/off the mouse, respectively, and hence the motion state of the mouse can be effectively controlled so that power consumption when not used is minimized.

Self-adaptive power saving (SAPS) is another patented technology of ATLab, which controls the current consumption of the light source depending on the surface color. That is, more power on darker surface and less power on brighter surface.

ATLab's optical mouse sensor SOC (System-On-Chip) series contains MCU (Micro Controller Unit) within the package, so that user can select either one of PS/2, USB or U+P Combo interfaces as needed. As noted before, an optical mouse with PS/2 interface, if ATA2188 is used, requires only 3 passive components (2 capacitors and 1 resistor). This series also features various power saving technologies.
