World's smallest single-chip CMOS camera 世界最小的單晶片CMOS攝影機

The British company TDC has recently introduced the smallest-ever single-chip CMOS camera, whose new OV6920 CameraChip is the world's first 1/18-inch (1.4mm) sensor. Supplied in a tiny 2.1 x 2.3mm chip-scale package, the device enables microscopic camera modules to be developed just 3.2mm in diameter.

With a total array size of 328 x 250, the OV6920 features SCCB-configurable automatic control of colour saturation, exposure, gain and gamma curve, together with aperture correction function. It only requires a clock and power to obtain an NTSC (320 x 240) composite signal output with a direct interface to VCRs and monitors.

But because of its negligible size, we will inevitably be careful to prevent peeping as if it is used by the bad hands. (Tracing Gadget)
