Fingerprint Touch Control Technology
Atrua provides the only fingerprint sensors using Made-for-Mobile™ technology. The Atrua sensor /software solution was designed beginning-to-end with mobile device requirements in mind, not converted from technology made for PCs.
Made-for-Mobile™ technology means:
High Efficiency
- Low Power Consumption – for the sensor itself and for the total solution
- Light CPU Loading – uses significantly fewer CPU cycles than competing solutions
- Low Memory Requirement – smallest RAM/ROM requirement and the smallest fingerprint templates
Standards Compatible Solution
- Minutiae Standards – proven compatibility with key international fingerprint standards

(ISO 19794-2, ANSI/INCITS 378/FIPS 201 minutia templates)
- Interoperability – provides Mobile Network Operators interoperability and the flexibility to deploy phones with sensors frommultiple fingerprint vendors
Reliably Accurate in the Real World

- Neural MobileMatcher™ – provides the highest accuracy and best CPU efficiency with Atrua’sproprietary Neural matching technology
-
Adaptive Sensor - adapts to all skin conditions and all climates and then automatically adjusts as seasons and finger conditions change
-
Minutiae Matching Technology – the worldwide, proven standard method used by international law enforcement and security-conscious government agencies
- Minutiae are highly stable and resistant to the aging effects that fingerprint images suffer with time, hand-washing, changing environmental conditions, etc.
- Minutiae are highly stable and resistant to the aging effects that fingerprint images suffer with time, hand-washing, changing environmental conditions, etc.
- Supports Imperfect Finger Swipes – angled and twisting swipes, inconsistent movement and other real-world usage effects
Highly Durable
- ESD – exceeds the highest levels of the key industry standard (IEC61000-4-2)
- Abrasion – super hard coating resists abrasion from most materials
- Impact – highly resistant, even to sustained and repeated impacts

Special Security Options
- Highly cost-effective options to provide best-in-class mobile device security
Adaptive Capacitance™ - the Only Made-for-Mobile Sensor Technology
Adaptive Capacitance™ is Atrua’s exclusive, patented fingerprint sensor technology. Extremely low power, high clarity and made-for-mobile, Atrua’s Adaptive Capacitance technology dynamically adjusts to the wide range of constantly changing finger conditions and the continuous variations in temperature and humidity that users experience when going between indoor and outdoor conditions, as the weather changes and with climate changes that occur when traveling.

Adaptive Capacitance™ utilizes the physics of capacitive coupling to gather highly accurate information on the smallest features of the finger by measuring the capacitance between the sensor pixel plates and the virtual capacitive plate of the finger. This super sensitive solution is constantly monitoring and adapting as finger conditions change.
Atrua’s ultra-low power approach doesn’t need a high current drive ring nor does it force designers to deal with challenging and development-delaying EMI/EMC issues due to radiated RF signals.
