Integrate fingerprint biometric features into portable applications with TI's comprehensive, low cost fingerprint development kit

HOUSTON, USA: Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) is launching the TMS320C5515 Fingerprint Development Kit, a complete signal chain solution at only $79 USD for easy integration of fingerprint biometric features in reduced time to market.

This robust development kit includes a core board based on TI's C5515 digital signal processor (DSP), two widely-used sensor types (swipe and optical), as well as optimized application software to ease product creation and implementation. For customers new to fingerprint application development, the kit can dramatically reduce the product design cycle by nine to 12 months.

The C5515 Fingerprint Development Kit provides fast and accurate fingerprint matching by leveraging the strength of the DSP to perform critical functions in the fingerprint algorithm such as filtering, sorting and transforming.

As the industry's lowest power 16-bit fixed point DSP, the C5515 provides optimal processing performance at an active power level as low as 0.15 mW/MHz, thereby extending battery life for portable end equipments.

This development kit can be used to create a variety of portable applications, including physical access control products (electronic door locks and safe boxes), USB smart keys and storage device, PC user identification, and time and attendance monitoring systems.
