TCS1

High definition sensing – UPEK high definition sensing captures
the highest quality images for secure authentication and a
convenient user experience.

Capacitive Sensing – UPEK sensors measure feedback
capacitance determined by the presence of 3-dimensional
ridges and valleys of a fingerprint.

Active Pixel Sensing – Each pixel has its own amplifier for
crisp, detailed images.

Live Layer Sensing - UPEK sensors sense both the surface
and the subsurface, or “live layer”, of the skin.

Large Image Area – UPEK sensors scan larger finger areas to enable more accurate authentication and a more accommodating user experience.

Rugged – High sensitivity pixels enable the use of a hard protective coating and the ability to withstand high levels of electrostatic discharge (ESD) for long, trouble-free operation.

Security and privacy protection - Reliably recognizes authorized individuals and prevents unauthorized access

Convenience and ease-of-access - Consistently recognizes enrolled users over time and in various environments

Benefits for all - Allows virtually anyone to enjoy the security and convenience benefits of fingerprint authentication

TCS2 – TouchChip® Fingerprint Sensor (Medium Area Sensor)

TouchChip® Fingerprint Sensor - Large Area Sensor (TCS1)

The TouchChip Fingerprint Sensor (TCS1) is the only FIPS-201 certified silicon sensor approved by the GSA and FBI for use in government applications. The TCS1 offers breakthrough improvements in cost, size and power efficiency when compared to older, larger and more expensive fingerprint sensors based on optical technology.
