VFS301 FINGERPRINT SENSORPRODUCT BRIEF

Durable Swipe Sensor Featuring LiveFlex Technology

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

VFS301 is a durable high performance dual-line-imaging (DLI) fingerprint sensor with a small

exposed form factor and low power consumption. The cost effective VFS301 is designed

for optimal integration into notebook computers, tablet PCs, and PC peripherals, and can be

colorized to to satisfy OEMs increasing requirements for customization and end consumers

desire for improved aesthetics on notebook PCs. The product consists of custom silicon chip

bonded to a Kapton plastics flex circuit, known as Chip-On-Flex (COF).

The sensor 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. The product uses an industry

leading, patented image reconstruction algorithm from Cogent Systems to acquire a high

quality fingerprint image. Users swipe their finger over a durable Kapton plastic surface for

authentication, identification, securing data, and more.

TECHNOLOGY

Validitys patented LiveFlex Technology is the foundation for developing fingerprint sensors

with the highest levels of performance, durability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility.

SOLVES DURABILITY ISSUES

Real COF Technology: Fingerprint sensing area and silicon die are seperated

Finger touches plastic, never silicon

RF sensing penetrates deep into living tissue of a finger through robust Kapton film. Plastic surface provides industry leading resistance to impact, abrasion, liquids, chemicals

High resistantance to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY

Superior raw image quality allows sensor to work with any 3rd Party Matcher

High Frequency (16MHz) RF retrieves stronger signal from finger

Differential pickup performs noise cancellation

Multiplexing transmitters allows focus on World Class RF Receiver with full 8 bit images

9 bit A to D internally allows more dynamic range

LiveFlex provides the best Images, which provide best FAR/FRR performance statistics
