1. Product introduction
Consumers use fingerprint recognition modules for user identity determination. When the user

touches the fingerprint recognition module with his finger, the fingerprint recognition module will

scan the user's fingerprint, and the algorithm chip can obtain the fingerprint image data for

registration and comparison.

Illustration:
 The serial port is a TTL level of 3.3V. If you need to connect to the serial port of PC, you
need to connect the TTL-USB adapter board before communication.
 The SENSOR module circuit power supply needs to be powered at all times. Please ensure
that the power supply has small ripple and is not interfered by other power supplies.
 If the lock board side performs a power-on and power-off operation for the fingerprint
module; it is recommended that the power-off time interval be at least greater than 150ms.
 The master controller should follow the following sequence when controlling the
fingerprint module MCU_3.3V to power on; Configure the serial port working mode after
MCU_3.3V is powered on. It is not recommended to open the serial port first and then
control MCU_3.3V to power on.
 After the main control goes to sleep, RX and TX should be pulled down to avoid excessive
power consumption caused by leakage between IO ports.

4.5.Fingerprint module internal circuit description

 Directly using the fingerprint sensor FD mode, the SENSOR wake-up is highly reliable and

reduces the risk of false triggering.

 When there is no finger touch, the WAKEUP signal line is low level. When the finger touches

the fingerprint sensor, the signal is triggered to high level, and then changes to low level when

the finger leaves.

 Fingerprint module workflow description:

When the fingerprint module is in sleep state, WAKEUP is used as a wake-up signal.

When the finger touches the fingerprint sensor, the interrupt signal is triggered, and then

wakes up the system. The main control MCU controls the power-on of MCU_3.3V. After the

fingerprint module algorithm chip is powered on and initialized, the main control MCU

controls the fingerprint module through serial port commands to complete image collection

and registration. , comparison task. After the task is completed, the main control chip controls

the fingerprint module to sleep and controls the MCU_3.3V to power off. The system enters

sleep and waits for the next round of work. After the system wakes up, the main control MCU

can mask the interrupt signal, and turn on interrupt detection again before going to sleep after

the task is completed.

 Fingerprint sensor chip power supply requirements:

The characteristics of the fingerprint chip itself: in FD (FingerDetect) mode, that is, when

the fingerprint sensor periodically scans and detects fingerprints, a peak current of about

200mA will appear for 4us. Therefore, there are strict requirements for the power supply of the

fingerprint chip. sensor_3.3V needs to control the power supply ripple within 200mV to avoid

excessive power supply ripple causing the fingerprint sensor to reset at low voltage, causing

the fingerprint sensor to fail to work properly.

Working current of fingerprint chip in FD mode

 It is necessary to use an LDO module with fast transient response to power the fingerprint chip;

it is recommended that the LDO output current for Sensor power supply be ≥250mA, ripple

<100mV, and PSRR>60dB.

 It is recommended to use a separate LDO to power the fingerprint module. The LDO output

line supplies power to the fingerprint chip all the way, and a separate line is controlled by a

MOS switch to power the fingerprint module algorithm MCU.

 When the fingerprint module shares the LDO power supply with other modules, the

fingerprint module power supply needs to be routed separately from the LDO output on the

PCB Layout.
