Toshiba 2.2um Sensor - Finally

Yahoo-Finance: Toshiba announced the 3.2 megapixel ET8EE6-AS CMOS image sensor and 2.0 megapixel ET8EF2-AS CMOS image sensor SoC with integrated ISP.

    Highlights:

* Advances in the Toshiba Dynastron technology, including an improved
photo-diode configuration and optimized pixel size, brought pixel pitch
down to 2.2 microns, with uncompromised image quality. These advances
led to a 3.2 megapixel count in a 1/3.2-inch format and 2.0 megapixel
count in a 1/4-inch format.
* In video mode, ET8EE6-AS offers high-speed 15-frames per second (fps)
in QXGA output, and 30fps in 3-to-1 vertical pixel binning. ET8EF2-AS
also supports 15fps in UXGA output, and 30fps in VGA output.
* To support simplified design of an optimized camera system, ET8EE6-AS
provides integrated automatic blemish detection and correction, gain
control and lens shading compensation.
* Features of the ET8EF2-AS include auto white balance, auto luminance
control, and automatic blemish correction.
* ET8EF2-AS also incorporates an ISP to provide advanced functions,
including:
- Digital zoom
- Windowing to any arbitrary size with panning
- Image down sizing with programmable decimation
- Picture flip that includes right/left flip and top/bottom flip
- Picture effects that include monochrome, negative, sepia, antique,
sketch and emboss
* Both products incorporate a flexible input clock supported by a
phase-locked loop circuit.
