Synaptics Incorporated announced the Natural ID FS4304, an ultra-slim area-touch biometric fingerprint sensor designed with industrial design flexibility to fit small spaces including the edge of smartphones or tablets. FS4304 is only 3.5mm wide and can be integrated into side-mounted buttons, such as the volume rocker, ultimately eliminating the footprint and cost required of creating an additional cutout in the frame or glass, and enhances the user experience by utilizing a natural finger resting location.
 
Natural ID provides unmatched biometric security for user authentication including SentryPoint, the industry’s highest level of fingerprint security. Synaptics offers a full slate of fingerprint solutions with form factors that can be designed into front buttons, rear panels, edges of devices, as well as through thick cover glass, addressing button-free industrial designs.
 
“Synaptics’ FS4300 family is market-proven with over 50 million units shipped into mass production, and with this new ultra-slim format OEMs can differentiate by designing fingerprint into a variety of small spaces. The rapid growth of secure fingerprint authentication across multiple markets, including China and mid- to lower-end smartphone models, is driving our leading portfolio of solutions,” said Ritu Favre, SVP and GM, Biometrics Product Division, Synaptics.
 
Synaptics’ FS4304 is sampling now and expected to enter mass production in Q3 of 2016.
