AS801
The AS801 fuses two identity lanes on one AI die: fingerprint biometrics and QR-code decode. No second scanner chip, no dual-firmware theater — one engine, one SDK, one bill of materials for the multimodal door terminals the market moved toward in 2025.
Key specifications

Two identity cultures, one chip.
2025 showed a lock market moving both ways at once: 54.6% of new biometric modules were face, but fingerprint and QR each kept their own strongholds — and a growing share of terminals offered all three. AS801 is the chip-level answer to that split:
- Fusion, not federation — both engines sit on one die with a shared template store; enrollment of a QR key and a fingerprint runs in the same SDK command set.
- One BOM, both credential cultures — a lock that ships with N-square keypads gets an upgrade path without a new controller.
- Mobile-friendly — the QR lane accepts visitor passes and membership codes at the same terminal where habituated residents use their finger.
Evolution without a full re-spin.
For the door OEM the interesting part is what the chip does not force: no new connector, no host re-architecture, no second SDK:
- Same SPI/UART/USB footprint as the established AS5-series lock chips, so the schematic cadence is almost unchanged.
- Credential mix is a firmware flag — A/B test QR-vs-fingerprint adoption per market without shipping two hardware SKUs.
- Free SDK, FAE support 48h, and the fall back to a pure-fingerprint firmware if the market reads otherwise.
AS801 FAQs
1 pc is the MOQ. Samples ship in 1–3 days with the fusion SDK, barcode decode example and fingerprint demo routine included.
Both engines are in the silicon — the SDK can expose either lane or both, and the demo routines cover the fused flow. No separate engine purchase.
It covers the full decode set the AS7-series ships: QR, DataMatrix, PDF417 and the EAN/UPC family. Your exact code-set spec is confirmed by FAE within 48h.
