Description
This document describes the specifications of Atmel’s AT77C104B fingerprint sensor
dedicated to PDA, cellular and smartphone applications. Based on FingerChip ther-
mal technology, the AT77C104B is a linear sensor that captures fingerprint images by
sweeping the finger over the sensing area. This product embeds true hardware-based
8-way navigation and click functions.

The TESTA pin is only used for testing and debugging. The SCANEN pin is not used in
the final application and must be connected to ground.
Warning : SSS and FSS must never be low at the same time. When both SSS and FSS
equal 0, the chip switches to scan test mode. With the SPI protocol, this
configuration is not possible as only one slave at a time can be selected.
However, this configuration works when debugging the system.
