Description

The GT-NUCL1633K1 is an advanced, miniature optical fingerprint sensor engineered for low power consumption and design flexibility. Its under-glass sensor positioning eliminates ESD concerns and allows for an additional 2mm of cover glass integration, making it suitable for sleek, finished products. The module combines an optical sensor, light source, and touch detection under a single glass cover, enabling instantaneous capture of high-resolution fingerprint images.

Engineered for robustness, the sensor performs reliably in suboptimal conditions, including with wet fingers, and supports 360-degree finger rotation for user convenience. It outputs captured images via its high-speed serial interface to an external MCU where advanced recognition algorithms can be processed, or utilizes its own embedded matching function. The device includes a green LED ring for user indication and operates across an industrial temperature range from -20°C to 70°C.

Key Features

  • Under-glass optical sensor design provides ESD protection and a clean aesthetic finish.
  • Enhanced wet finger recognition algorithm ensures reliable performance in varied conditions.
  • Supports 360-degree finger placement, improving user experience and system flexibility.
  • Integrated green LED illumination ring provides clear operational status feedback.
  • On-device fingerprint template storage (30 capacity) and matching engine reduce host MCU load.
  • Wide operating temperature range (-20°C to 70°C) suitable for diverse environments.
  • High-speed UART communication interface (115200 bps) for fast data transfer.
  • Optimized 3.3V power architecture for low energy consumption in portable applications.

Applications

  • Secure access control systems for doors, safes, and restricted areas.
  • Biometric authentication in embedded IoT devices, smart locks, and time-attendance terminals.
  • User identity verification in portable medical devices and field service equipment.
  • Integration into automotive security systems for personalized vehicle settings.
  • Embedded biometric login for single-board computer projects and DIY security systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage requirement for the GT-NUCL1633K1 fingerprint module?

The module operates strictly on a 3.3V DC power supply. Applying voltages outside this specification, such as 5V, can permanently damage the sensor. Ensure your host system, whether an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or custom PCB, can provide a stable 3.3V rail.

What communication protocol does this fingerprint sensor use, and how do I connect it to an Arduino?

The module uses a UART (Serial) interface with a default baud rate of 115200. To connect to an Arduino, link the module's TX pin to an Arduino RX pin (e.g., SoftwareSerial RX) and the module's RX pin to an Arduino TX pin. Remember to use a logic level converter if your Arduino operates at 5V, as the sensor is strictly 3.3V logic.

How many fingerprint templates can be stored onboard, and does it perform matching internally?

The GT-NUCL1633K1 can store up to 30 fingerprint templates in its onboard flash memory. It features an embedded matching algorithm, meaning the 1:1 or 1:N comparison can be performed on the module itself, reducing the processing burden on the host microcontroller.

Can this sensor work with wet fingers or through a protective cover?

Yes, the sensor incorporates algorithms for wet finger recognition, improving reliability in non-ideal conditions. Its under-glass design also allows it to function through an additional 2mm of cover glass (like a phone screen protector), making it suitable for finished products with sealed surfaces.

What is the operating temperature range for this module?

The module is rated for an operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. This wide range makes it suitable for deployment in both controlled indoor environments and challenging outdoor or industrial settings where temperature fluctuations occur.
