摘要: A method of evaluating a dielectric structure, comprising the steps of a) changing a potential difference between each sensing structure in a first set of sensing structures and each sensing structure in a second set of sensing structures, and to providing, for each sensing structure in the first set of sensing structures, a sensing signal indicative of a strength of a capacitive coupling between each sensing structure in the second set of sensing structures and the sensing structure in the first set of sensing structures; b) assign other sensing structures to the first set of sensing structures and the second set of sensing structures; c) performing step a) and step b) until a respective sensing signal has been provided for each sensing structure in the plurality of sensing structures; and d) providing an evaluation result based on the respective sensing signals.

摘要: A fingerprint sensing system for sensing a finger surface of a finger, comprising: an array of sensing elements arranged under a sensing surface, each sensing element in the array of sensing elements being configured to sense a property indicative of a distance between the sensing element and the finger surface; and read-out circuitry coupled to the array of sensing elements and configured to provide, for each sensing element in the array of sensing elements, a timing indication indicative of a time when a value of the property sensed by the sensing element reached a predefined threshold value.

摘要: A fingerprint sensor comprising a plurality of sensing elements distributed across a rectangular sensing area with mutually opposite short sides and mutually opposite long sides, the sensing elements being arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns; readout circuitry arranged in a readout area located adjacent to a short side of the sensing area; and a plurality of readout lines for connecting each of the sensing elements to the readout circuitry, the readout lines in the plurality of readout lines extending in parallel to the long sides of the sensing area. For each column of sensing elements in the plurality of columns, at least a first sensing element and a second sensing element in the column are simultaneously connectable to the readout circuitry via a first readout line and a second readout line, respectively, in the plurality of readout lines.
