Laser power control manufacturing method of matching binned laser to drive conditions through soldering and component mounting techniques to convey binning information

摘要

A method for programming a function of an optical mouse during assembly includes (1) mounting a dummy resistor on a printed circuit board, the dummy resistor being indicative of a parameter of the function, (2) mounting an optical mouse sensor and a nonvolatile memory on the printed circuit board, (3) coupling a laser to the optical mouse sensor to receive a drive current, (4) further assembling the optical mouse, and (5) after the further assembling the optical mouse, determining the parameter from the dummy resistor and programming the parameter into the nonvolatile memory. During startup of the optical mouse, the optical mouse sensor is programmed with the parameter from the nonvolatile memory and drives the laser accordingly.
