Core trio boosts SoC platform
Oki Electric has enhanced its uPLAT series of integrated platforms, which lower development times of SoC LSIs, with the introduction of three core products.
More power from laser modules for WDM systems
Oki Electric has developed a trio of high-power 1480nm pump laser diode modules for WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) optical transmission.
The LSI includes a function to protect the fingerprint data from unauthorised access, enabling high-level security systems.
The fingerprint authentication accelerator is based on technologies from Precise Biometrics.
Masahiko Morioka, President of Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric Industry said "We believe this chip will offer an excellent solution to customers who are looking for a cost effective, yet easy-to-use, high-performance fingerprint authentication system, especially when customers' current systems do not have enough performance and memory for fingerprint authentication".
This fingerprint authentication accelerator uses a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) algorithm licensed from Precise Biometrics, and optimised for AuthenTec's slide fingerprint sensors.
"We believe that this new OKI LSI and reference design with AuthenTec sensors will further expand new applications for fingerprint sensors", said Art Stewart, AuthenTec Vice President of Worldwide Sales.
"This new turnkey solution - based in part on AuthenTec's patented TruePrint technology - will support the continued rapid global adoption of fingerprint biometrics by helping original equipment manufacturers quickly design products that offer convenient security to today's consumer".
The fingerprint authentication accelerator executes all fingerprint authentication processes, from capturing fingerprint image to authentication, within 0.8s using 32MHz system clock.
-No external memory is required as the embedded flash stores up to 15 fingerprint templates and the customer's application program.
The business-card-size board connects with ARM development kits and enables enrollment and authentication with batteries instead of connecting to a PC.
To support various customer needs, OKI also plans to provide a SDK optimised for some of the touch sensors, and support a fingerprint authentication module.
In addition, OKI will develop products with the fingerprint authentication accelerator that are compliant with ISO standard, and will expand its LSI business in the biometric authentication market.
