1. General Description

Multi-mode multi-key multi-function mouse Sensor A704C is a high performance single chip
CMOS process optical mouse sensor. This chip solution is used to implement a non-mechanical
tracking engine for USB computer mouse.

A704C is based on algorithm which measures changes of sequential surface images and then
determines the movement. It has the basic mouse function (R/M/L button, Y motion and Z axis
wheel) and additional support for office applications. It supports 4 level CPI resolutions
(1200/1600/2000/3200). A704C provides two application modes. It can switch between normal
mode and multimedia mode freely by mode switching key, which provides convenience for users.

In the application of LED breathing mode, A704C has its own characteristics. On the basis of
the commonly used functions of "circular discolored breathing" and "silent breathing", it introduces
the function of "color-taking breathing" to provide users with more abundant application choices.
From the point of view of user practicability, A704C uses function keys to realize the switching of
three breathing modes

A704C is in a 14-pin optical DIP package. It has a built-in LED driver and internal oscillator
to minimize the external components.

6.2 Multifunctional Key Instructions

Key Name Function Description
BOSS Used to switch the current application screen and desktop
The first time the breathing lamp is pressed, the circulation discoloration
LED_MODE_SW stops, and the breathing is fixed by the current color; the second time the
breathing lamp is closed by the key; and the third time the circulation
discoloration breathing is restored by pressing
FIRE Pressing this button is equivalent to continuing to click the left button

6.3 Mode Switching

A704C supports dual working mode: the default is normal mode. Switch to multimedia mode
by pressing CPI (or CPI-) over 5s. After entering the multimedia mode, the monochrome LED
begins to breathe. The same operation can be changed back to normal mode.

6.4 CPI setting

6.4.1 Gear and Number Settings

Out of the drive mode, A704C supports 4-speed resolution, defaulting to 1200. A704C supports
two CPI switching modes:

 In Single CPI mode: It can be switched by single CPI button in the following order:

1200(def)->1600->2000->3200->1200

 In Double CPI mode: It can be swithced to 3200 CPI by CPI+ key and 1200 CPI
by CPI- key

6.4.2 LED indication of gear

Two-color backlight breathing Single-color

CPI LED indicator LED
HR HB Color Brightness
1200 Off On Blue Off
1600 On On Pink Weak
2000 On Off Red Middle
3200 On/2 On Violet Strong
Note：On/2: half of the normal brightness of the LED

There are two forms of CPI indication of A704C, namely "two-color backlight breathing LED"
and "single-color indicator LED".

In multimedia mode, dual-color backlight LED has no breathing function, indicating CPI gear
with color, and LED color corresponds to CPI gear one by one (see table above); while monochrome
LED starts breathing, but has no CPI indication function.

In normal mode, monochrome LED indicates CPI gear according to brightness. When double-
color backlight LED presses CPI switch key, the initial color corresponds to CPI gear one by one
(see table above)

6.5 Backlight LED

6.5.1 Functional overview

In multimedia mode, the dual-color backlight LED has no breathing function, while the
monochrome indicator LED starts breathing.
In normal mode, two-color backlight LED has three working modes.

Cyclic discoloration breathing: The default working mode of backlight LED is that two-color
backlight LED breathes at a specific frequency. Its initial color corresponds to CPI gear one by one.
After 6 seconds, it begins to cycle discoloration breathing according to the current color of blue,
pink, red, purple and blue, providing a gorgeous visual effect.
Color-taking breathing: A704C puts forward the concept of "color-taking breathing". Users
can "extract" one of the four circular colors according to their personal preferences through the
LED_MODE_SW button, and breathe at a fixed frequency under this color.
Silence: In the color-taking breathing mode, press the LED_MODE_SW button and turn off
the backlight.
Through the LED_MODE_SW button, the user can switch the LED mode according to the
sequence of "cyclic discolored breathing, color-taking breathing, mute breathing, cyclic discolored
breathing". In addition, by holding down the 4th or 5th key and clicking the CPI/CPI-key, you can
also enter and exit the silent mode.

6.5.2 Application Guideline

A704C backlight LED adopts common anodescheme. In addition to the default color matching
methods in the function description table in Section 6.4, A704C also provides the following color
matching methods:
If the base color is red and green (RG) LED, HR is connected to R, HB is connected to G, the
corresponding 1200 CPI to 3200 CPI, the order of backlight color is green, yellow, red, light green.
Note: The default color matching method is adopted in application circuit of Section 9.
