ADNS-3550
Low Power LED Integrated Slim Mouse Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The ADNS-3550 LED optical mouse sensor is a small form
factor (SFF) LED illuminated navigation system.
The ADNS-3550 is a low-power optical navigation
sensor. It has a new, low-power architecture and auto-
matic power management modes, making it ideal for
battery-and power-sensitive applications such as cord-
less input devices.
The ADNS-3550 is capable of high-speed motion detec-
tion — up to 20 ips and 8g. In addition, it has an on-
chip oscillator and integrated LED to minimize external
components.
The ADNS-3550, along with the ADNS-3150-001 lens,
form a complete and compact mouse tracking system.
There are no moving parts which means high reliabil-
ity and less maintenance for the end user. In addition,
precision optical alignment is not required, facilitating
high volume assembly.
The sensor is programmed via registers through a four-
wire serial port. It is packaged in a 16 I/O surface mount-
able package.

Theory of Operation
The ADNS-3550 is based on Optical Navigation Technol-
ogy, which measures changes in position by optically
acquiring sequential surface images (frames) and math-
ematically determining the direction and magnitude of
movement.
The ADNS-3550 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
Dx
and
Dy
relative dis-
placement values.
An external microcontroller reads the
Dx
and
Dy
infor-
mation from the sensor serial port. The microcontroller
then translates the data into PS2, USB, or RF signals
before sending them to the host PC or game console.

Overview of Optical Mouse Sensor Assembly
Avago Technologies provides an IGES file drawing de-
scribing the base plate molding features for lens and
PCB alignment.
The components interlock as they are mounted onto
defined features on the base plate.

The ADNS-3550 sensor is designed for surface mounting
on a PCB, looking down. There is an aperture stop and
features on the package that align to the lens.
The ADNS-3150-001 lens provides optics for the imaging
of the surface as well as illumination of the surface at
the optimum angle. Features on the lens align it to the
sensor and base plate.
