March 1, 2006—Atmel Corporation, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of advanced semiconductor solutions, has introduced a new member of its FingerChip family of sensors-the AT77C102B FingerChip Biometric sensor.
The new AT77C102B is fully-compatible with its predecessor, the AT77C101B, while boasting twice the sensor sensitivity. This sensor improves the image enhancement output, leading to greater recognition accuracy while improving the overall system performance.
“The FingerChip sensors already provide a very good fit to Physical Access Control or Point-of-Sale application requirements thanks to their high robustness, low power consumption and high resistance to environmental constraints such as dirt, humidity or extreme temperatures,” said David Richard, Atmel’s Biometrics Marketing Manager. “The AT77C102B improves the image quality output by the sensor. Its full compatibility with its predecessor will make it easy to implement for our current customers while new prospects will appreciate the performance of the sensor.”
Atmel is a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of microcontrollers, advanced logic, mixed-signal, nonvolatile memory and radio frequency (RF) components. For more on the company, visit its Web site.
