Abstract:
An actuator driver used in an image pickup apparatus includes: an image pickup element; a lens installed on an incident optical path to the image pickup element; an actuator configured to cause a displacement of the lens; a position detection element configured to generate a position detection signal representing the displacement of the lens; and the actuator driver configured to perform feedback control of the actuator on the basis of a target code, which represents a target displacement of the lens, and the position detection signal, the actuator driver including: a correction circuit configured to convert a first detection code according to the position detection signal into a second detection code having a linear relationship with respect to an actual displacement of the lens; and a control circuit configured to control the actuator such that the second detection code approximates the target code.
