Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise methods and apparatus for actuator control. The methods and apparatus may comprise various circuits and/or systems to generate a feedback signal according to an induced voltage and further generate various signal processing functions to selectively adjust a gain of the feedback signal. The apparatus for actuator control may comprise an induced voltage detection circuit and a feedback control circuit that operate together to generate the feedback signal used to control the actuator.

Claim (Index 15):
An imaging system capable of performing autofocus with an actuator, comprising:\n an image signal processor (ISP) configured to generate an initial position signal; and a camera module connected to the image signal processor, comprising:\n an image sensor coupled to the image signal processor, wherein the image sensor transmits image data to the image signal processor; and \n a control circuit connected to the ISP and configured to receive the initial position signal from the image signal processor, wherein the control circuit comprises:\n a drive circuit connected to the actuator; \n a feedback network connected to the drive circuit and configured to generate a feedback signal, wherein the feedback network comprises:\n an induced voltage detection circuit connected to an output terminal of the drive circuit; and \n a feedback control circuit connected to the induced voltage detection circuit and configured to: \n \u2003attenuate a portion of the feedback signal that falls outside of a predetermined frequency range; and \n \u2003adjust a gain of the feedback signal; and \n \n a target generator circuit connected to the ISP and configured to generate an updated position signal according to the initial position signal; \n wherein the control circuit supplies a current, based on the feedback signal and the updated position signal, to the actuator.
