3 Description
The DRV201A is an advanced voice coil motor driver
for camera auto focus. It has an integrated D/A converter for setting the VCM current. VCM current is
controlled with a fixed frequency PWM controller or a
linear mode driver. Current generation can be
selected via I2C register. The DRV201A has an
integrated sense resistor for current regulation and
the current can be controlled through I2C.
When changing the current in the VCM, the lens ringing is compensated with an advanced ringing
compensation function. Ringing compensation
reduces the needed time for auto focus significantly.
The device also has VCM short and open protection
functions.
