hi I have posted on a different forum my latest work in miniaturising decoders. And thought I should post a quick summary here too.
As a hobbyist venture I have built functioning SSD-compatible digital decoders with dimensions of 10.8mm by 5.4mm. The thickness is 4.4mm. The decoders have motor/brake circuits and change lanes and count laps on SSD powered tracks.
The two images below show a functional decoder at these dimensions installed into a 1/64 scale MicroScalextric car. The second image clearly shows the surface mount 3mm IR LED for car identification.
I am now working on smaller designs... next a 8mm x 5mm design... then smaller still :)
