cumbersome passwords or PIN codes. Fingerprint authentication 
provides a reliable, quick and user friendly alternative to 
passwords. The SPF200-USB fingerprint sensor has the USB 1.1 
controller logic built right into the sensor, no external hardware is 
required. Merely plug the sensor into the USB cable, the power 
and data communications is managed by the USB protocol.

Description (continued)
The Fujitsu SPF200-USB fingerprint sensor quickly captures the 
image of the fingerprint, analyzes it and compares it to a 
previously registered fingerprint template. The Fujitsu SPF200USB fingerprint sensor consists of a 256 column x 300 row 
array of tiny metal electrodes. Each electrode acts as one plate in 
a capacitor and the finger acts as the second plate in a capacitor. 
A passivation layer on the surface of the device forms a tough 
outer shell, protecting the device from abrasion, chemicals, 
moisture and other forms of damage. The SPF200-USB is 
manufactured in standard CMOS technology, a mature and 
cost effective manufacturing method.
