Samples available.

  8. Product Details – AT77C104B Specs: • Targets cell phone, smartphone and PDA applications • Dual SPI output, 500dpi resolution • Menu navigation and click feature, hardware-based • 2,3V to 3,6V operating voltage • Operating temperature range: -20°C to +70°C, -40°C to +85°C possible upon customer request • Very low power consumption: Only 6mA in image acquisition, 1,7mA for navigation, 10µA in sleep mode • Naturally protected against ESD: > 16 kV Air Discharge Availability: Q2 2004, immediate for eval kit. Samples available

  9. FingerChip Modules - Roadmap • ATMEL is introducing in 2004 a new biometrics sub-system based on its field-proven FingerChipTM sensor. • Objective: provide customers with a complete biometrics sub-system that is : • Flexible to meet the demanding needs of many different applications • Easy to integrate • Able to perform unattended user enrolment and authentication when programmed. • Applications: • Physical Access Control, Point of Sales, Gaming, Vending, machines, Smart Home, Time & Attendance, Locks and safes, …

  10. AT77SM0101BCB02V Module Components: • Award-winning ATMEL AT91RM9200 ARM9-based micro-controller • 32 Mbits (4MB) ATMEL Flash Memory • 128Mbits (16MB) SDRAM Features: • Power supply: 3.3V +/- 10%, 500mA through main board • Real Time Clock Software: • Linux operating system, kernel v 2.4.19 • FingerChip sensor driver to acquire fingerprint • Bio-engine pre-loaded

  11. AT77SM0101BCB02V Module • High flexibility on • Processing with ARM9 capability and Linux kernel • Memory • Available interfaces: Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS485, MMC/SD Card, Compact Flash available through support board. • Evaluation Kit • AT77SM0101BCB02VEK with SDK • Availability: immediate • Reference: • AT77SM0101BCB02BS in Europe • AT77SM0101BCB02SU in Asia • TBD in North America

  12. Packaging Wide choice of sensor packaging available: • -CB01: Chip on Board (COB) with zebra connection • -CB02: COB with flex connector • -CB03: COB with board to board connector

  13. New Packagings • -CB06: Molded package with flex cable • -CB07: Molded package with zebra connection • -CB08: Small COB with zebra connection • -CB09: Small COB with flex connector

  14. Packaging – A step ahead! *** Colors available on CB01, CB02, CB03, CB08, CB09 *** These colors are just for proof-of-concept. Other colors can be made available.

  15. Packaging Rules • Understand Customer need and constraints first ! • Do not oversell packaging specs ! • Sell existing packaging first: customers are happy to see lots of possibilities but most often choose between CB01, CB02 and CB08

  16. Packaging availability

  17. A Biometric solution S/W • Current business model: • Atmel sells the FingerChip only (and processing facility for SM01), • recommends packaging solutions • gives and supports drivers & image reconstruction, • and qualifies and proposes partners who are not exclusive • Future business model: • Atmel will provide a biometric solution including bio-engine, and will get closer to the application level • Partners become exclusive on specific market segments or applications Software application Bio-engine driver Image reconstruction FingerChip Platform packaging and ergonomics (constraints) Platform archi : Proc, OS, interface... (constraints) other constraints(power consumption…) H/W

  18. How to engage a customer? Identify the need • In terms of application: • What is the product (cell phone, PDA, what kind)? • What is the usage (logon, data encryption, etc…)? • What is the expected performance? • How many users? Authentication or Identification? • In terms of architecture: • What is the processor? Operating System? • How much memory is available? • What interface is required? • What are the system resources (bus speed, power supply, …)

  19. How to engage a customer? Identify the need • In terms of packaging: • Max size in length, width, thickness • Flat packaging required or finger guide allowed? • Colors or not? • Get back to Grenoble with these data • We will provide technical support, quotation, advice on best software/packaging for the application

  20. Competition Overview • More complete analysis available on Intranet • AuthenTec: • Most serious competitor, leading vendor on the market • Active capacitive technology • Vertical approach with software included • ST Microelectronics: • Also claiming to target telco and IT markets. • Active in gvt projects, pushing hard on IT (notebooks) • Passive capacitive technology

  21. Competition Overview • Fujitsu • Catching up on swipe sensor • Apparently not so good quality • Infineon: • Stopped sensor production • Fingerprint Cards • New patent • Small company, difficulties to do business

  22. FingerChip Successes • HP iPAQ 5450/5550 • Sharp Tablet PC • USB readers

  23. FingerChip Successes • Safes • USB dongles • Inclusion in Intel Product Evaluation List for notebooks biometric solutions (only two swipe sensors)
