Synaptics — Fs7605 Touch Fingerprint Sensor With Pureprint-tm- Top ((link))

The addition of PurePrint™ enhances security without introducing noticeable delays, as the liveness analysis occurs in parallel with image capture.

The FS7605 is an optical sensor. Unlike ultrasonic sensors (like Qualcomm’s 3D Sonic), which use sound waves to map a fingerprint, optical sensors essentially take a photograph of your finger.

Traditional sensors send fingerprint images to the computer’s main processor (CPU), making them vulnerable to malware that might intercept that data.

The enhanced security features help companies comply with data protection regulations that require advanced biometric security.

Synaptics (now part of Renesas after acquisition) indicates the FS7605 will be succeeded by:
