Toshiba Launches 8 Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor for Smartphones

Toshiba today announced the launch of T4KA3, an 8-megapixel BSI CMOS image sensor that allows smartphones and tablets to record HD video at the industry?s highest 240 equivalent frames per second (fps).

The T4KA3 incorporates Toshiba's "Bright Mode" technology that boosts image brightness up to four times, realizing HD video capture at 240 fps equivalent. It allows smartphones and tablets to record high quality, high speed video, and to offer extended imaging functions including smooth slow motion playback and high speed continuous shooting.

The sensor also adopts a newly developed low power circuit design that reduces power consumption to 85% compared to the company's previous T4K35 8-megapixel sensor, which is already in mass production.

The new sensor incorporate 8Kbit OTP that can store two conditions of lens shading correction data. It can recognize light conditions and change the correction data by one command of I2C.

Toshiba is sampling the new image sensor now.
