Fingerprint Cards (FPC) launches new thinner fingerprint sensor, FPC1011F3, with industry’s best protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Fingerprint Cards is today launching a new area sensor, FPC1011F3. Compared with
its predecessors, the new FPC1011F3 has thinner design and offers increased
protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD). It now has the industry’s best
ESD resistance. FPC1011F3 is in mass production and has already been chosen in
high volumes by all major FPC customers.

The thinner design has been developed to further facilitate the integration of
the low-power-consumption area sensor into small embedded biometric products,
such as bank tokens and USB keys. Robustness is important in many applications
and FPC1011F3 withstands an electrostatic discharge of ± 30 kV. The ability to
handle high ESD discharges is very important to ensuring long life for
electronic components.

FPC1011F3 is manufactured in the same production facility as FPC’s existing area
sensor with its qualified production methods, thus ensuring very high product
quality with very few customer returns.

Christian Skeppstedt, Product Manager at Fingerprint Cards says: “We at FPC are
constantly endeavoring to improve our products and to always be at the cutting
edge in the biometric technology field. Our launch of FPC1011F3 emphasizes our
intent to continue to invest in both area and swipe sensors. Area and swipe
sensors complement each other by targeting different customer segments and both
products are needed for FPC’s continued success. The launch of FPC1011F3 is a
key step in continuing to have competitive products and in maintaining FPC’s
dominant market position in, for example, the Chinese banking industry.”
