DESCRIPTION

The PixiPointTM Z mouse encoder is a cost-effective, high functionality IC designed to interface the CTS 106, 108 and 109 sensors to the PS/2 port. Ideal for laptop/palmtop use, the low power PixiPointTM Z offers an advanced algorithm for enhanced motion control. The IC also enables click, double-click, MouseWheel action and slow drag without the need for special drivers. The IC provides an extra port for hot-plug connection of an external pointing device, including those with built-in Mouse wheel. Both the embedded sensor and the external device can be operated concurrently.
