PAT9125EL - Miniature Optical Navigation for Surface Tracking

The PAT9125EL integrates an ultra-low power CMOS-processed optical navigation chip with a LASER light source in a single miniature package, providing wide depth of field (DOF) range on glossy surfaces, and design flexibility into highly space constraint devices. This tracking system also does not require code wheel, code strip and any special marking on tracking surface for motion control or tracking purposes.

PAT9125EL is based upon PixArt’s optical navigation technology of LASER which measures changes in position by optically acquiring sequential surface images (frames) and mathematically determining the speed, the direction and the magnitude of motion. The displacement X and Y information are available in registers. A host controller can read and translate the displacement X and Y information from the SPI (PAT9125EL-TKMT) or I2C (PAT9125EL-TKIT) serial interface.

Tracking Configurations that PAT9125EL supports:

* Tracking on a moving surface:

* Tracking on the side of the rotational shaft:

* Tracking on end of the rotational shaft:

* Tracking on disk edge:

* Tracking on rotational bezel:
