Synaptics SecurePadTM is a complete hardware module that combines Synaptics' industry leading TouchPad with Validity's LiveFlex® fingerprint sensor in one seamless design that's easy to integrate into notebook PCs. This completely flexible solution offers build-to-order (BTO) or configure-to-order (CTO) options - a one stop shop for a total solution.
SecurePad is based on Validity's breakthrough LiveFlex® technology that offers unparalleled durability, reliability & performance advantages over other touch silicon sensors. Compatible with the industry's leading biometric security software solutions, SecurePadTM offers OEMs complete flexibility in designing customized module solutions to meet their specific requirements.
SecurePad was recognized at International CES 2008 as an Innovations Award Honoree, one of the most esteemed honors in the consumer electronics industry.
Some of the key features and benefits of the SecurePadTM include:
Fully Integrated Module Solution
- Complete integrated hardware solution combines the TouchPad and the LiveFlex® fingerprint sensor in a single, easy to integrate module.
Superior Durability
- Fingerprint sensing area and silicon die are separated
- Integrated fingerprint sensor is made of flexible plastic
- Users touch a durable Kapton® plastic surface, never silicon
- High resistance 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
- Best Images: Best False Accept Rate (FAR)/False Reject Rate (FRR) performance
Usability & Ergonomics
- Users swipe their finger over a durable plastic sensor to acquire fingerprint
- Fashionable and intelligent bi-color LED backlighting is optional, and provides exceptional fingerprint authentication feedback to the end user
Flexible and Fully Customizable Product Options
- Custom module options available
- Build-to-order (BTO) or configure-to-order (CTO) options
Extensive Software Support
- Compatible with the industry's leading operating systems biometric security software applications
- 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.
