Abstract

This paper proposes an advanced signal processing circuit for a fingerprint sensor based on ridge resistivity. A novel fingerprint integrated sensor using ridge resistivity variation resulting from ridges and valleys on the fingertip is presented. The pixel level simple detection circuit converts from a small and variable sensing current to binary voltage out effectively. The sensor circuit blocks were designed and simulated in a standard CMOS 0.35 ${\mu}m$ process.
