General Description
Fingerprint recognition technology is proving to be an increasingly widespread secure and accurate
means of biometric identification. Eliminating the need to remember passwords, instead relying
upon the individual’s unique biometric data, is increasingly proving to be a mainstream method
of security entry, witnessed by an increasing stream of new fingerprint recognition equipped
products. This range of fingerprint recognition devices from Holtek offers users a quick and easy
means of capturing and processing fingerprint images. By integrating all the necessary electronics
to convert the captured CMOS fingerprint image sensor information into USB interface compatible
data, users have a means of downloading and processing the fingerprint image for integration
into their own fingerprint security entry products. This is fully supported by Holtek’s Fingerprint
Module Software Development Kit. Applications for these devices would include smartphones,
personal computers, door entry systems etc. as well as a host of other products requiring secure
identification entry.

Communication Interface
Functional Description
These fingerprint recognition modules contain an integrated CMOS image sensor to capture the
fingerprint image data. However by also integrating the necessary electronic circuitry to convent
this image data into USB interface signals, the devices contain all the necessary hardware to allow
an external PC to conveniently download and process the fingerprint image data, eliminating the
need to interface directly to the CMOS image sensor. As Holtek also provides a full Software
Development Kit for these modules users are provided with the necessary development software to
assist with rapid development of their fingerprint recognition function equipped product design.
Hardware Description
These fingerprint modules contain a CMOS image sensor as well as USB signal conversion
circuitry to allow the modules to communicate with an external USB interface equipped PC. As a
result the only external pin connections are the two USB signal lines, power and ground lines. The
USB interface is a 2.0 Full Speed type. After power on a certain amount of time, as provided in the
electrical characteristics, must be allowed before any USB commands are sent to the device. The
devices also contain blue LED indicator driver hardware.

Software Development Kit Description
Holtek supplies a software development kit to enable convenient development of fingerprint
recognition applications. The building blocks for these user applications is provided through an
Application Programming Interface, API, which designers can use to assist with rapid product
development. The Holtek supplied Software Development Kit includes Visual Basic and Visual C
demo source code along with all the necessary drivers and DLLs. Other relevant documentation
such as a Users’s Manual and Programmer’s Guide are also provided.
Functional Description
The following table provides a list of the Holtek provided API functions.
