Agilent Technologies introduces three industry-leading, LED-based navigation sensors for cordless and corded optical mice

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced three new LED-based optical mouse sensors, each offering industry-best features. One sensor offers the lowest power consumption, which enables the longest battery life in cordless mice. Two entry-level sensors provide improved performance and tracking in the industry's smallest package.

Devices make breakthroughs in power consumption, performance, package size

“Today's computer users prefer optical mice across the entire value spectrum, from entry-level to very-high-performance gaming mice,” said Ngoh Kee-Hane, vice president and general manager of the Navigation Products Division in Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group. “As the world's leading supplier of optical mouse sensors, Agilent will continue to make product improvements”.

“The ADNS-3040 is optimized for battery operation, offering the industry's lowest power consumption and longest battery life. The sensor provides up to 18 months of operation from alkaline AA battery cells. It operates from as low as 2.5 V and incorporates three self-adjusting power-saving modes. With the mouse moving, the ADNS-3040 consumes a mere 2.9 mA.
