Fingerprint Cards first complete swipe development kit for fingerprint verification; FPC6430

Fingerprint Cards presents a capacitive swipe sensor (FPC1030) that, unlike alternative small square sensors, can scan the entire fingerprint pattern. With measurements of only 3 mm x 11 mm this is the smallest and lowest cost fingerprint sensor. It also meets the requirements for 15 kV repeated air discharges (ESD). Manufacturers can integrate swipe sensor FPC1030 or complete fingerprint verification system into high-volume devices such as PC peripherals, portable PCs and mobile phones – a development kit, FPC6430, is available now.
