Hardware Interface

PC interface (onboard marked: J1)

Serial port:

Pin No. Name Type Function Description

1 Vin In VCC
2 GND GND Ground
3 TXD Out Serial data output. TTL logical level.
4 RXD In Serial data input. TTL logical level.
5 NC - One-in mode doesn’t have this pin.

Hardware connection
Through communication interface, the module can communicate with MCU (3.3V
or 5V) directly: module sending pin (J2, TD) is connected to data receiving pin on
MCU (RXD); module receiving pin (J3, RD) is connected to data sending pin on
MCU (TXD).
If it is need to communicate with RS-232 level (such as PC), please add level
conversion circuit between the module and PC (such as MAX232 circuit).

Serial protocol
It uses half-duplex asynchronous serial communication. Default baud
rate is 576000bps and can be set 9600~115200 bps by commands.
Sending frame format is 10 bits, one start bit level. 8 data bits (low in
front) and one stop bit. There is no parity bit.

Power-delay time
When the module is powered on, it needs 500ms to initialize. During this period, the
module can’t respond to host commands.

Sensor interface（
（J2）
）
Split module provides the special interface to electrical fingerprint sensor (15-pin
socket with 1.25mm spacing). It uses 15-pin row socket to connect with sensor board.
The length is 150mm if there is no special requirement.
One-in module is internal connection. User doesn’t need to consider this.

4
System resources
To meet different customers’ requirements, module provides plenty of resources.

User notepad
The module reserves a storage area 512 byte (15 page * 32 byte) for host to use as
user notepad
User can store the data which needs power protection ( see Writenotepad command)
in specified page of this area or read the content of specified page( see ReadNotepad
command).
Note: when write a page in notepad, the 32 byte content is written all together and the
original content is overwritten.

Buffer
Module RAM has one image buffer ImageBuffer and two 512 bytes feature-file buffers
CharBuffer1 and CharBuffer2. User can read / write any buffer through commands.
The content in imagebuffer and two feature file buffers are not saved when power is
off.

Image buffer
Image Buffer is used to store image data and used as internal buffer for internal
image processing. Image’s format is 256X288 pixels.
To speed up the upload / download speed through UART, only the four HSB of the
pixel is sent, which means 16-level grayscale. Each byte means two pixels (high four
is one pixel, and low four which is in the next pixel. Combine these two pixels as one
byte to send. As image is 16-level grayscale, when downloaded to PC to display
(corresponding to BMP format), the grayscale level need to be extended (enlarge it
to 256-level grayscale, 8 bit bitmap format)
.
Signature file buffer
Signature file buffer CharBuffer1 and CharBuffer2 can be used to store common
signature files and template signature files.

Fingerprint library
The module reserved a storage area in FLASH as fingerprint temperate storing area,
which is fingerprint library. The data in fingerprint library is power protected.
Fingerprints are stored in sequence. If the storage capacity is N fingerprints, the
number of fingerprints in library is 0, 1, 2-----N-2, N-1. Users can only access the

5
 fingerprint database based on the serial number.

System configuration:
Commands can be used to change the system parameters. Refer to system
configuration commands SetSysPara and ReadSysPara.

When host sends system configuration commands, module will reply with a response
and set accordingly. The new configuration is saved in FLASH. When system is
powered cycle, it will use new configuration.

Baud rate control (parameter serial number 4)

This parameter controls the baud rate of the communication between module and
host by UART. If the value is N (range is 1~12), the corresponding baud rate is (9600
X N)bps.

Security level（
（parameter serial number 5）
）
This parameter controls fingerprint matching and searching value. It has 5 levels,
：
and value range is 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The security level is 1, the false accept rate is highest and the reject rate is lowest.
The security is 5, the false accept is lowest and the reject is highest.

Packet length（
（parameter serial number 6）
）
This determines the longest packet: 0, 1, 2 and 3, which corresponds to (in byte) 32,
64, 128, 256.

System status register

System status register shows the current working status of module. It is can be read by
command ReadSysPara and the length is 1 Word.

Definitions of each bit are as following:

Bit No. 15 4 3 2 1 0
Definition Reserved ImgBufStat PWD Pass Busy
Notes ：
： ，
. Busy occupy 1 bit 1 means system is executing the order and 0 means idle.
： ，
. Pass occupy 1 bit 1 means passing the fingerprint matching.
： ，
PWD occupy 1 bit 1 means device handshake password is verified.
：
ImgBufStat occupy 1 bit, 1 means there is effective fingerprint image in fingerprint
buffer.

6
Module password
After module resets, the device handshake password will first be checked to see if it
has been changed or not. If it hasn’t been changed, the module will think host doesn’t
need the password and will go to normal working status directly. When the module
password is the default one, the verification can be ignored. Password is 4 bytes. The
：
default password is 0FFH,0FFH,0FFH,0FFH.

（
If the internal password has been changed see set password command, the module
will do device handshake verification. If it passed, the module goes to the normal
working status. Or the module will refuse any command.
New password will be saved in Flash after changed and saved when power off. See
verify password command VfyPwd and set password command.

Module address
Each module has an identify address. When the module communicates with host,
each command / data is sent as a data packet. Each packet has one address and
addressed content. Module only responds to the command and data packet which has
the same address as its address.
Module address is 4 bytes, and factory default is: 0xFFFFFFFF. User can change
module address by commands (see set module address command SetAdder). After
adjustment, new address will be saved even the module is power off.

Random number generator

The module embedded hardware 32 bits random number generator internally (no need
of random number seed). User can use command to let module generate one random
number and upload it. See sampling random number command GetRandomCode.

7
Communication Protocol

Communication protocol defines the rules of information exchange between

SD-FPM10A module and host.

Packet format
When module communicates with host, it uses packet to send / receive the command,
data and result.

Packet format：
：
Packet Address Packet tag Packet length Packet content checksum
header code (command /
data/
parameter)

Table of detailed packet definition:

Name Symbol Length Description

Packet START 2 bytes Fixed as 0xef01.Higher byte sent first.
header
Address ADDER 4 bytes Default as 0Xffffffff. User can make new address
Code through command. Module will refuse wrong address
packets. Higher byte sent first.
Packet PID 1 byte 01H Means command packet
Tag 02H Means data packet and has following packets.
Data packet can not go into execution flow by
itself, has to follow command packet or ACK
packet.
07H Means ACK packet which can be followed by
other packets.
08H Means the last data packet that is EndData
packet
Packet LENGTH 2 bytes Longest is 256 bytes. Packet length means packet
length content (command / data) length plus checksum length
(packet content length +2). Unit is byte. Higher byte
sent first

8
Packet DATA ----- Can be command, data, command parameters, reply
content result and etc.(fingerprint feature value and fingerprint
module are data)
Checksum SUM 2 bytes It is the sum of all bytes of packet tag, length and
content. Carry ignored when longer than 2 bytes.
Higher byte sent first.

Packet check and answer

Command can only be sent by host to module. Module answers to host.

When module receives command, it will report the execution results back to host
through reply packet. Reply packet has parameters and can be followed by other
packets. PC can confirm the command packet by receiving reply packets from
modules.
Reply packet contains one byte confirm code (necessary) and return parameters
(optional)
