C5000 Fingerprint Kit

END OF LIFE

Effective immediately, TI has decided to terminate the C5515 Fingerprint Development Kit. This decision is predicated upon Authentec’s decision to discontinue production of the ATW310 swipe sensor, a fundamental component of this kit. TI has no plans to replace the fingerprint development kit with an alternative solution at this time. Customers interested in an alternative solution may contact Tooan directly at business@tooan.cn. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Overview

* Complete signal chain solution helps developers add fingerprint capabilities in reduced time to market: Includes 2 sensors (swipe and optical), TI C5515 DSP-based core board, application demo, software and more...

* TI’s low power C5515 DSP enables longer battery life with fast and accurate fingerprint-matching: Industry’s lowest power DSP with advanced algorithm and optimized code for execution efficiency

* Small form factor solution provides design flexibility at very low cost to enable new portable applications: 30mmx30mm core board, and 70mmx30mm extension board with differentiated features like USB and audio indication
