The back-side illuminated sensor features a resolution of 5384x3752px, auto-defect pixel correction and advanced digital zoom capability. Even when zooming in very close, this delivers virtually no discernible image deterioration. The T4KA7 also features 16kb one-time programmable memory which enables tight integration of high-density permanent memory without increasing the real estate on the sensor chip.
Compared to Toshiba’s previous 20MP sensor, the T4KA7 offers an improvement of 83%, employing high-speed circuit technology to deliver 22fps at full-resolution image capture.
According to Yole Développement, the CMOS image sensor market will grow by a CAGR of 10% to reach $13bn by 2018. This will be driven by mobile technologies, automotive, industrial and medical imaging applications, as well as wearable electronics.
