AuthenTec unveils new fingerprint sensor for the wireless market

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

AuthenTec unveiled a new durable, thin profile fingerprint sensor packaging technology. AuthenTec’s new TouchStone packaging technology will enable a new class of fingerprint sensors that combine all the features of TruePrint technology with thin, durable, easy to integrate, waterproof and surface-mountable packaging for today’s cell phone designs.

TouchStone technology triples the protective coating over the fingerprint sensor die. Its thin package profile also enables flat surface mounting on the outside of a mobile device’s case, providing improved tactile feel when using AuthenTec’s TrueNav menu navigation feature. The first AuthenTec product available in TouchStone packaging will be the new AES1711 low-power sensor for the wireless market, with production quantities expected in the fourth quarter. [end]
