2. Figure illustrates major components within the mouse. These are:


3. U
3

a. The PS/2 Mouse Controller is responsible for decoding quadrature
encoded signals from the optical mouse sensor and scroll wheel, checking
the status of mouse switches, and transmitting that information back to the
PC. PS/2 mice are becoming harder to find. U
3
is more likely to have
a USB interface in mice being designed today. Some units will implement
a wireless interface.
4. U
1

a. The Optical Mouse Sensor performs the optical navigation functions
discussed above. The sensor includes not only the camera, but
sophisticated circuitry to compare images and thereby compute distance
and direction variables. Fortunately, the IC takes care of all of that for you.
The sensor on our mouse board is an Avago Technologies HDNS-2000.
In case you didn't know, Avago Technologies is a spinoff from Agilent,
which itself was a spinoff from Hewlett Packard. So this chip has a long
and illustrious family history.
5. SW
1
, SW
2
and SW
3

a. These switches are mechanically linked to the center, right and left mouse
buttonsrespectively.
6. Y
1

a. The ceramic resonator provides a timebase for IC2.
7. Q
1

a. The NPN transistor provides current gain for the LED control signal
output by U
1
.
8. IRLED1
a. D1 is the light emitting diode which illuminates the mouse surface. We're
not sure why the PCB silk screen identifies this as an IR LED, as the light
emitted is quite visible
9. R
2

a. Resistor R
2
limits the maximum amount of current which flows through
IRLED1 and Q
1
. On this PCB board, R2 has a nominal value of 110 ohms.
10. R
3
& L
3

a. Here is an example of just how cost sensitive this market is. Rather than
provide a voltage regulator for the 3.3V supply for U
1
(as called for in the
HDNS-2000 datasheet), BTC simply placed a series resistor and inductor
in line with V
DD3
to drop the 5V supply down to an acceptable level. R
3
is
also nominally 110 ohms.
11. L
1
& L
2

a. Inductors are placed in series with the PS/2 data and clock signals to
control noise.
12. Encoder
a. The wheel encoder is mechanically linked to the scroll wheel, and
provides quadrature encoded signals ZA and ZB back to
the PS/2 controller.
13. Mouse Wheel
a. The scroll wheel is mechanically linked to the encoder and to the center
mouse button. More details will be shown in the teardown details.
14. CON1
a. A standard PS/2 mouse connector.
