Toshiba T4KC3 16 MP CMOS image sensor

Toshiba has announced the launch of T4KC3, a 16 MP BSI CMOS image sensor. The chip realises 30 fps at full-resolution output with power consumption of 240 mW or lower.

Phase-detection auto-focus (PDAF) achieves quick focusing and makes it easy for mobile devices to capture high-quality images and movies. The product also incorporates Toshiba’s Bright Mode technology, which boosts image brightness up to four times, enables HD video capture at 240 fps equivalent and supports high dynamic range (HDR) to capture natural images of scenes with a high contrast ratio.

The sensor incorporates 16 Kb OTP, which can store lens shading correction data for four conditions at maximum (such as indoors and outdoors, daylight and sunset). Settings can be switched with a simple command.
