VFS201 is a durable high performance fingerprint sensor with a small exposed surface. VFS201 is currently shipping in several mass production notebook PCs and PC peripheral devices that are available today.
The product consists of a custom silicon chip bonded to a Kapton® plastic flex circuit, known as Chip-On-Flex (COF). The flex circuit is the actual sensor, and captures the unique features of a 3-D fingerprint image using a patented technique to detect and measure the ridges and valleys of a live finger.
VFS201 uses an industry leading patented image reconstruction algorithm from Cogent Systems to acquire a high quality fingerprint image.
Features
Superior Durability
- Fingerprint sensing area and silicon die are separated
- Users touch a durable Kapton® plastic surface, never silicon
- Sensor is made of flexible plastic, and is not just silicon covered with plastic
- True Chip-On-Flex (COF) solution provides leading resistance to impact damage
- Sensor is highly resistant to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), abrasion, liquids, and chemicals
High Quality Imaging
- High Frequency RF transceiver acquires stronger signal from finger, penetrating deep into live tissue
- Highly detailed images provide best False Accept / False Reject (FAR/FRR) statistics
Usability & Ergonomics
- Navigation and scrolling modes available
- Bi-directional swiping supported
Flexible Product Options
- Small footprint with flexible z-height options
- Variety of standard module reference designs available
- Custom module options available
- SPI for flash template storage supported
Extensive Software Support
- Compatible with the industry's leading biometric security software applications
- Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA) supported
- Single-Sign-On (SSO) solutions available
Chip-On-Flex Fingerprint Sensors
Validity's primary products are constructed of a custom silicon chip bonded to a Kapton® plastic flex circuit, known as Chip-On-Flex (COF). The flexible COF fingerprint sensor assembly is then bonded to a PCB and packaged to form a fingerprint sensor module.
- COF Product Option: VFF201CB-003-T
- COF Dimensions: 16.5 mm X 23.75mm
- Approximate Exposed Sensor Surface Area: 3mm x 12mm
