About 32-bit PSOC™ fingerprint Arm® Cortex® M0+ microcontroller family
This is the world's only programmable embedded system-on-chip solution based on the Arm® Cortex® -M0+ processor. This new brand of microcontrollers enhances and modernizes the driver’s interface to functions and even beyond the car by personalizing the user experience, making payments inside the car, and including biometric indicators.
Infineon's fingerprint solution surpasses its competitors due to its larger sensing area, sensor-on-substrate architecture, and the ability to create different-size sensors with the same silicon, without sacrificing active area. Additionally, the ability to apply customized coatings and covers on the sensing surface adds further flexibility to the solution's design.
Key benefits of 32-bit PSOC™ fingerprint Arm® Cortex®-M0+ family
Infineon's fingerprint solution stands out for several reasons. One of the most important parameters for a fingerprint sensor is the size of the actual fingerprint sensing area. Infineon offers a larger sensing area, which captures more biometric data and results in better performance for false rejection ratio (FRR) at any given false acceptance ratio (FAR) setting.
Additionally, Infineon has adopted a sensor-on-substrate architecture in its FPS modules, as opposed to silicon sensor implementations. This means that the size of the sensor is independent of the size of the sensor controller chip, which is mounted underneath. With this architecture, Infineon can create different size sensors with the same silicon, without needing to reduce the active area to save costs.
Moreover, with a substrate-based fingerprint sensor, customized coatings and covers can be applied on the sensing surface. This feature can be especially useful in applications where the sensor may be exposed to harsh environments or where there are specific material requirements.
