Atmel has introduced a new module, which is a complete biometric system, including a processing facility and authentication software, that is aimed at facilitating the addition of a biometric feature into physical access control, point of sales, locks, and time and attendance systems or many other secure applications.
For equipment manufacturers wishing to add biometric functionality to their products, the all inclusive module combines Atmel's Fingerchip sensor, its AT91RM9200 ARM9 microcontroller, 128 Mb of SDRAM and 32 Mb of Atmel's DataFlash in one system. The company says that it is easy for customers to also add their own application software directly onto the module. Many popular interfaces such as Ethernet, SPI and RS232 are available through extension connectors, providing flexibility for product design.
According to Atmel, the FingerChip sensor provides its own benefits, such as its very small size and high resistance to shocks, humidity and dirt, also making it ideal for outdoor use. The authentication software is preloaded (licence is included) for an all-in-one solution.
The evaluation/development kit available, allows quick development of the final application interface using the Linux preloaded operating system and the high-level biometric macros. With intermediate knowledge of Linux programming, Atmel says integrators will quickly be able to implement the biometric module into their final software application. Along with a full set of technical documentation, the mechanical integration is also detailed in the evaluation kit documentation so that final systems can be swiftly designed.
