    Abstract: A capacitive fingerprint sensor includes an array of capacitive sensing elements, readout circuitry electrically coupled to the array of capacitive sensing elements, a block first digital to analog converter (DAC), at least one second DAC, and at least one summing junction electrically coupled to the readout circuitry, the first DAC, and the at least one second DAC. The readout circuitry is adapted to read out pixel voltages from a group of each block of capacitive sensing elements. The first DAC is adapted to provide a block baseline voltage for each block of capacitive sensing elements. The second DAC is adapted to provide a pixel baseline voltage difference for one capacitive sensing element of each group of each block. The summing junction is adapted to subtract the received block baseline voltage and the received pixel baseline voltage difference from the corresponding pixel voltage of each row of each block.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include a finger biometric sensor that may include an array of electric field sensing pixels and image data output circuitry coupled thereto. The electronic device may also include a dielectric layer over the array of electric field sensing pixels and causing electric field diffusion so that the image data output circuitry generates image data corresponding to a blurred finger image. The electronic device may also include deblurring circuitry coupled to the image data output circuitry and capable of processing the image data to produce processed image data representative of a deblurred finger image.

    Abstract: An acoustic fingerprint imaging system having a plurality of acoustic elements, each acoustic element including a transducer, and independent drive and sense circuitry is disclosed. Drive circuitry may require higher voltage than low voltage sense circuitry. Many embodiments described herein include a ground shifting controller to apply a voltage bias to the low voltage sense circuitry during a drive operation, in order to prevent electrical damage to the sense circuitry.

    Abstract: An acoustic imaging system can include an array of transducers in acoustic communication with a substrate configured to receive a subject for imaging. The transducers can independently or cooperatively send an acoustic pulse into the substrate toward the subject. In many examples, a number of adjacently-positioned transducers are activated substantially simultaneously so as to generate a plane wave into the substrate. After the plane wave has had an opportunity to propagate through the substrate, reflect from the top surface, and propagate through the substrate again, the electrical signals can be obtained from the transducers and an image of the subject can be assembled. In many embodiments, the plurality of transducers can be driven and read in groups such as non-intersecting (disjoint) sets or subarrays.
