April 24, 2015
One of the world’s smallest chips, realizing low power consumption
TOKYO – Toshiba Corporation's (TOKYO: 6502) Semiconductor & Storage Products Company today announced the launch of "T4KB3", a 13-megapixel (MP) BSI[1] CMOS image sensor with the optical format of 1/3.07 inch that offers makers of smartphones and tablets lower power consumption and a smaller chip size. Mass production shipments start today.
A new design methodology helps to reduce the power consumption of the new sensor to 200mW, or less at 30fps, 53% that of Toshiba’s sensor now in mass production[2]. The chip is also in the world’s smallest class of 13MP sensors[3], about 24% smaller than Toshiba’s current 13MP sensor[2], and "T4KB3" is world’s smallest class 13MP sensor [3].
The new sensor also deploys "Bright Mode" technology that captures bright video images at high frame rates, realizing Full-HD video capture at 120fps equivalent.
The new CMOS sensor positions Toshiba to contribute to the realization of smaller form-factor camera modules and thinner mobile devices.
