Required

Use a regulated 2.8 V sensor supply and a host or logic translator with compatible thresholds. Fit the red LED, lens and clip using Avago’s optical design. Build the LED supply branch directly from Figure 8 or 9 for the chosen assembly.

Bench checks

  • Drive NCS high then low to reset the serial port. Write 0x5A to 0x3A, wait for the documented write-to-write interval, and write 0x20 to 0x0D and 0x00 to 0x41 with the same timing.
  • Wait at least 50 ms from reset before evaluating motion. Move the assembly over a matte surface and read DELTA_X and DELTA_Y consecutively when MOTION is low.
