Milestone in optical mouse sensors
Agilent Technologies has shipped its 300 millionth optical mouse sensor since the release of its first navigation sensor in 1999.
LED-based sensors cover full mouse spectrum
Agilent Technologies has released three new LED-based optical mouse sensors, each claiming industry-best features.
The company is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications.
"Reaching 600 million mouse sensors shipped is a significant milestone for us because it shows the enormous penetration that Avago's mouse sensors have made in this market", said Ngoh Kee Hane, Vice President and General Manager of the Navigation Products Division at Avago Technologies.
"To put this milestone in perspective, we have provided manufacturers with enough optical mouse sensors to provide a PC mouse to every citizen living in the United States, Japan, Malaysia, Germany and France".
"As an industry leader in this market, our goal is to continue to lead the market with innovative LED and laser optical-mouse sensors that meet the price and performance needs of our customers".
Today, optical mice using Avago Technologies' navigation sensors range from inexpensive entry-level to high-precision models.
Moreover, Avago has played a key role in helping mouse manufacturers to convert from mice that use a ball for navigation to optical and laser-based mice that can track on more surfaces with greater accuracy.
Avago's optical sensors can be found inside miniature mice, which are ideal for children and mobile travellers with notebook computers, in high-performance gaming applications, and in corded and cordless optical mice that use power-saving technology to deliver longer battery life.
