ADNS-6030
Low Power Laser Mouse Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The Avago Technologies ADNS-6030 sensor along with
the ADNS-6120 round lens or ADNS-6130-001 trim lens,
ADNS-6230-001 assembly clip and ADNV-6340 laser di-
ode form a complete and compact laser mouse tracking
system. It is world’s first laser-illuminated laser mouse
navigation system enabled for cordless application.
Powered by Avago’s LaserStream
TM
Technology,
It can operate on many surfaces that proved difficult for
traditional LED-based optical navigation. Its high per-
formance, low power architecture is capable of sensing
high-speed mouse motion while prolonging battery life,
two performance areas essential in demanding cordless
applications.
There is no moving part in the complete assembly for
ADNS-6030 laser mouse system, thus it is high reliability
and less maintenance for the end user. in addition, preci-
sion optical alignment is not required, facilitating high
volume assembly.

Theory of Operation
The ADNS-6030 is based on
LaserStream
Technology,
which measures changes in position by optically
acquiring sequential surface images (frames) and
mathematically determining the direction and magnitude
of movement.
The ADNS-6030 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 ∆x and ∆y
relative displacement values. An external microcontroller
reads the ∆x and ∆y information 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.

6230-001 VCSEL Assembly Clip and ADNV-6340 VCSEL.
The components interlock as they are mounted onto
defined features on the base plate.
The ADNS-6030 laser mouse sensor is designed for
mounting on a through hole PCB, looking down. There is
an aperture stop and features on the package that align
to the lens.
The ADNV-6340 VCSEL is recommended for illumination
provides a laser diode with a single longitudinal and a
single transverse mode. It is particularly suited as lower
power consumption and highly coherent replacement
of LEDs. It also provides wider operation range while
still remaining within single-mode, reliable operating
conditions.
The ADNS-6120 or ADNS-6130-001 Laser Mouse Lens
is designed for use with ADNS-6030 sensor and the
illumination subsystem provided by the assembly clip
and the VCSEL. Together with the VCSEL, the lens provides
the directed illumination and optical imaging necessary
for proper operation of the Laser Mouse Sensor. ADNS-
6120 and ADNS-6130-001 are precision molded optical
components and should be handled with care to avoid
scratching of the optical surfaces. ADNS-6120 also has a
large round flange to provide a long creepage path for
any ESD events that occur at the opening of the base
plate.
The ADNS-6230-001 VCSEL Assembly Clip is designed to
provide mechanical coupling of the ADNV-6340 VCSEL
to the ADNS-6120 or ADNS-6130-001 lens. This coupling
is essential to achieve the proper illumination alignment
required for the sensor to operate on a wide variety of
surfaces.

describing the base plate molding features for lens and
PCB alignment.
