KNOWLES-MEMS Joystick for Mobile Applications
Micro-Miniature, Ultra Low-Power Navigation Device with Digital Output: 4-bit KJ-33000
The joystick gives an analog stick feel and has 360° variable speed scrolling and navigation which allows for greatly enhanced user experience - especially in gaming - thus enabling valuable product differentiation for customers. The miniature 9.8 x 9.8 x 1.6 mm package is ideal for space constrained electronic devices enabling designers to solve the engineering challenges of improving performance while adding features within increasingly smaller, thinner, and tighter design spaces.
MEMS-based technology…
Micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology transforms silicon into mechanically moving parts, eliminating the need for additional components, saving space and reducing manufacturing time and costs.
Extremely low current consumption…
The KJ-33000 has extremely low current consumption of 40μA during Active Mode and 3μA during Sleep Mode, reducing battery drain by a factor of 25 compared to optical joysticks and 200 compared to hall-effect sensors making it ideal for battery driven devices.
