Easy-to-use

Fingerprint sensors make the user experience more convenient and need to work for everyone in all conditions – old and young, big and small, dry and wet, etc. UPEK embedded fingerprint sensors offers the easiest user experience based on proprietary HD3D Sensing technology:

Live Layer Sensing – senses both the surface and the subsurface, or "live layer", of the skin.

Capacitive Sensing – measures feedback capacitance determined by the presence of 3-D ridges and valleys of a fingerprint.

Active Pixel (vs. Passive Pixel) – Each pixel has its own amplifier for a stronger signal to deliver a crisper image. Large Image Area - 144 pixel-wide sensor scans a larger finger area than competing swipe sensors.

Dual Plate (vs. Single Plate) – Each pixel contains a transmitter and receiver for greater sensitivity and more detailed images.

Tri-Mode Sensing (vs. Single mode sensing) – HD3D Sensing utilizes three modes of sensing - DC, AC, and differential AC - to sense.

Robust

Fingerprint sensors need to withstand human interaction and the elements. UPEK embedded fingerprint sensors offer the most robust fingerprint sensor on the market:

Scratch Resistant Shield – High sensitivity pixels enable the use of a hard protective coating for long, trouble-free operation. Tested to withstand over 10 million swipes.

ESD Resistance – Withstands IEC 61000-4-2-Level 4 +/-15kV

Element Protection – Operates in temperatures ranging from -30'C to +70'C, and from 5% to 93% RH at 30'C.
