AT77C102B
3. Description
The AT77C102B is part of the Atmel FingerChip monolithic fingerprint sensor family for which no
optics, no prism and no light source are required.
The AT77C102B is a single-chip, high-performance, low-cost sensor based on temperature
physical effects for fingerprint sensing.
The AT77C102B has a linear shape, which captures a fingerprint image by sweeping the finger
across the sensing area. After capturing several images, Atmel proprietary software can recon-
struct a full 8-bit fingerprint image.
The AT77C102B has a small surface combined with CMOS technology, and a Chip-on-Board
package assembly. These facts contribute to a low-cost device.
The device delivers a programmable number of images per second, while an integrated analog-
to-digital converter delivers a digital signal adapted to interfaces such as an EPP parallel port, a
USB microcontroller or directly to microprocessors. No frame grabber or glue interface is there-
fore necessary to send the frames. These facts make AT77C102B an easy device to include in
any system for identification or verification applications.
