Prototypes & Products: FC15A140
Reminder: this is an unofficial website about the FingerChip. See the Atmel website for official info. Products & prototypes presented here may have been discontinued, so sorry about the broken links.
The FC15A140 was the industrial version of the FingerChip, replacing the FC2x17 prototype. It was a 30x280 pixels sweep chip, first packaged in a ceramic DIL. Later, a COB version was developed to lower the cost for very high volume applications.
FCDEMO3
The FCDEMO3 was the first demo kit made with the FC15A140. The design was slightly the same than FCDEMO2, excepted that it was not fully flat to enhance the ergonomics, and the LED ramp removed.

FCEV
FCEV was an evaluation board for developers.
In 1999, an "accelerator" was developed using this board, and added to the FCDEMO3 (FCDEMO3BS). In fact, this accelerator was throwing away some lines, and only 8 lines were kept, so the number of slices per second was higher, enabling faster sweeps. It was a simulation of the next version of the chip.
CardTech/SecurTech May '98 in Washington, D.C.
FCDEMO3 was demonstrated at the CTST '98 in Washington, DC. Three working authentication software packages were presented: Cogent Systems, AST and The Phoenix Group, as well as the following demonstrations.
