Looks like the honors of being the world’s smallest CMOS chip goes to TDC’s OV6920 CameraChip. It measures a mere 1.4mm, and when placed within the attached camera setup, it is just 3.2mm in total size. It shoots at a low resolution of 328 x 250 and can be configured for NTSC output as well as automatic color saturation, exposure, and gain control. This tiny camera requires just a 3.3V DC power supply to keep it going, making it ideal for use in low power applications such as voyeuristic gear and toys. Guess miniaturization has a knack for making it easier for people to spy upon each other, and you never know who’s watching you right now.
