On September 17, Wuhan Hongshi Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Hongshi Technology") announced at Wuhan Optics Valley Future Science and Technology City, where the company's headquarters is located: Hongshi Technology R & D team invested tens of millions of dollars after seven years of unremitting technical research. Funds, concentrated the company's advantageous resources, focused on core chip technology, successfully designed and streamed the iris biometric dry core ASIC chip QX8001, which has passed strict functional and performance tests.
Iris is the only externally visible internal organ of the human body. The use of iris to verify personal identity has unparalleled advantages in other authentication methods such as identity uniqueness, lifetime stability, security and anti-counterfeiting; since its discovery in the 1980s, iris biometric technology It is limited to applications in government, law enforcement, finance and other fields, and cannot achieve the widespread popularity as fingerprint recognition technology. The main reasons are that iris biometric equipment is expensive, bulky and power-hungry.
As the industry's first iris biometric ASIC chip, the successful tape-out and mass production of the QX8001 chip marked a complete solution to the three problems of high price, large size and high power consumption, making the popularization and application of iris biometric technology and products inevitable.
The QX8001 chip uses a 40nm semiconductor manufacturing process and is available in QFN44 and QFN68 packages with a volume of 5 mm x 5 mm x 1 mm and 7 mm x 7 mm x 1 mm. The clock frequency is 100 MHz and the average power consumption is only 0.1 watts. It can process 1920×1080 pixels high-definition images, the image encoding speed is 100 milliseconds, the comparison speed is 90,000 templates / second, the monocular error acceptance rate is 10-7, and the monocular error rejection rate is 10-3.
Due to its unique high cost performance, QX8001 can be integrated by general smart terminal equipment manufacturers such as smart watches, smart phones, smart door locks, and smart access control as general applications such as login, boot, encryption, payment, and door opening, and can also be collected by iris. Manufacturers of special-purpose terminal equipment such as cameras, police passers, customs clearance gate machines, etc. are integrated for special applications such as iris biometric database building, black-and-white list lookup, border and entry-exit control.
The successful tape-out of QX8001 marks that the application of iris biometrics technology has entered a brand-new era, which is of great significance to the development of China and even the global iris biometrics industry and information security industry.
Hongshi Technology always adheres to its mission, never forgets its original intention, and takes the pioneering technological innovation and continuous application breakthroughs to create the core competitiveness of iris biometrics, and realizes the iris biometrics “anytime, everywhere” corporate vision And goals to contribute to China's high-tech development and development.
Wuhan Hongshi Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2011 in Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone, known as the “Optical Valley of China”. It is a national high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development of core technology and application products of iris biometrics. Iris biometric soft core algorithm, hard core algorithm, and integrated circuit chip layout design, focusing on smart cities, smart security, smart finance, smart home and mobile payment applications, providing customers with iris recognition universal and dedicated terminal equipment application solutions and One-stop application solution for high-scale security industry.
