Fingerprint board isn't fooled by phoney fingers
Parvus Corp is developing modular fingerprint identification hardware for embedded computer applications in co-operation with Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA).
It comes equipped with 128Mbyte of soldered RAM onboard (optional up to 256Mbyte) for exceptional shock and vibration resistance and is fully compatible with standard PC x86 and real-time operation systems (RTOS), such as Windows, QNX, VxWorks and Linux.
Affording very low power consumption (8.0W typical), the standard version of the 4500 Series CPU comes with a 400MHz Celeron processor with 256Kbyte L2 cache.
An optional 800MHz Pentium III version is expected to also become available when ordered in minimum quantities.
All models integrate a powerful set of onboard peripherals, including four USB ports, one Fast Ethernet interface (10/100Mbit/s), two serial ports (one RS232, one RS232/422/485), a parallel port (EPP/ECP), a VGA video interface, an AC97 sound interface, auxiliary power, keyboard and mouse connectors, as well as an UltraATA IDE controller that supports IDE solid-state Flash devices (such as DiskonModule, CompactFlash and ATA Flash disks).
Male PC/104 (ISA) and PC/104-Plus (PCI) bus connectors are found on the bottom of the board, enabling it to stack on top of other addon modules.
The unit incorporates an embedded BIOS in a 1Mbyte Flash reprogrammable EPROM with a Datalight ROM-DOS kernel also preloaded to facilitate rapid customer implementation.
The SpacePC 4500 is expected to be in stock by mid-Q3 2004.
Prospective customers can place pre-orders now.
Product pricing starts at $795 each in volume orders over 100 units.
