FingerChip Biometric Module AT77SM0101BCB02VKE 5391A-BIOM-09/04 Functional Description The AT77SM0101BCB02VKE is a biometric sub-system based on Atmel's FingerChip fingerprint sensor. It comprises a fingerprint sensor connected to a board that embeds processing capabilities through an ARM9-based AT91RM9200 microprocessor, and memory to store the software and fingerprint templates. The biometric module must be connected to a motherboard for power supplies and interface connections. Connection to the motherboard is achieved through two standard connectors located on the sides of the module board. The module is loaded with a Linux operating system, an Atmel driver for the FingerChip sensor, and by default, authentication software (biometric library) for extraction of fingerprint characteristics and comparison with enrolled templates (also called bio-engine). The standalone module can perform the following: * Enrollment: an operation where the end-user scans his fingerprint by sweeping it across the FingerChip sensor, providing a fingerprint signature reference (template) * Authentication: accurate matching of the newly acquired fingerprint against the template stored in the board's memory during the enrollment procedure, used to validate user authentication * Identification: matching of the fingerprint image against the correct template within a database of previously acquired templates These three functions can then be used in any application requiring authentication to grant rights to a user, or to change criteria of the user's profile. Examples of typical applications might include physical access control or time and attendance monitoring. The AT77SM0101BCB02VEK Evaluation Kit provides all the tools necessary for easy development of a customized application using the biometric module APIs. The AT77SM0101BCB02VKE biometric module lets you add convenient and secured user authentication to your products in a surprisingly reduced development time. Figure 2.

In addition, the module can be fixed to the main board or the casing using three screws. Fingerprint Sensor Atmel recommends fixing the sensor by inserting it into the casing's groove. Care should be given to ensuring that: Connection of the Module Board to the Motherboard * The casing provides sufficient aeration * The board is implemented vertically with the flex connector outputs oriented downwards * The sensor is protected from direct exposure to rain when used outdoors The standalone module board measures 55 mm by 72 mm. It has three screw holes for easy fixing to the motherboard or casing of the final system. Connection to the motherboard is achieved through two connectors each comprising 2 x 25 pins, which are located on the sides of the module board. The height of the components under the module must not exceed 5 mm. Figure 7.
