Description
Atmel’s AT77C105A fingerprint sensor is dedicated to PDA, cellular and smartphone
applications. Based on FingerChip thermal technology, the AT77C105A is a linear
sensor that captures fingerprint images by sweeping the finger over the sensing area.
This product embeds true hardware-based 8-way navigation and click functions as
well, as enabling elimination of mechanical joystick devices.
