PLN2020 twin-eye laser sensor Introduction The Philips’ PLN2020 twin-eye laser sensor is a highprecision, ultra-fast, low-power consuming, small-sized, single-component, laser-based tracking device for use in computer mice, identification devices, printers and mobile phones. Complete navigation sensor that works on virtually all surfaces Philips Laser Sensors General information The PLN2020 is a fully integrated single-component, robust, self-aligning and small-sized (<180 mm3) laserbased tracking device. The 11-pin 3.85-mm high twin-eye laser sensor has a printed circuit board footprint of a mere 6.8 mm x 6.8 mm and incorporates lenses for its two lasers in the package assembly. Thanks to a dedicated laser power control scheme, energy use is limited to a minimum while power management is maximized, making the device particularly useful for cordless mice. Key features Design-in simplicity Complete single integrated component solution (System-In-Package) 11-pin miniature square package Intelligent, built-in, multi-mode power management system Low-power operation and sleep modes Accurate optical navigation Smooth and rough surface navigation 3D motion sensor Accurate motion up to 500 mm/s (20 ips) with an extended motion range up to 1000 mm/s Micrometer resolution (800 cpi) Single 3.3 volt power supply SPI serial bus host interface High-speed serial port registers for programming and data transfer Embedded firmware can be upgraded and customized Active redundant protection system to ensure laser safety Lead-free wave solderable (or by manual soldering) No mechanical moving parts Insensitive to wear and tear The PLN2020 is based on laser tracking technology. It measures changes in position by sensing the scattered laser light that is reflected by the surface, and mathematically by on-chip logic and software, determining the direction and magnitude of the movement. It is capable of measuring extremely accurately at a wide range of speeds. The PLN2020 does not require a smooth surface, but can be used on virtually all light-scattering surfaces, even those with a relatively rough structure. Compact in dimensions, the PLN2020 is a true ‘system-in-a-package’ that is suitable for many applications. As there are no moving parts, and because of its self-aligning optical path, the application of the technology is simple and can be massproduced in a cost-effective manner without applying expensive aligning procedures.
