Abstract:
An apparatus controlling a position of a camera module includes an operating coil disposed on a housing of the camera module to face a magnetic member disposed on a lens barrel of the camera module, a driving circuit providing a driving current to the operating coil, a capacitor circuit having a capacitor value to form a resonance circuit together with the operating coil to resonate at a resonance frequency varied depending on an inductance value of the operating coil; a resonance maintaining circuit maintaining a level of a resonance signal generated by the operating coil and the capacitor circuit, a resonance frequency detecting circuit detecting a resonance frequency signal from the resonance signal generated by the operating coil and the capacitor circuit, and a control circuit configured to control the driving circuit in response to the resonance frequency signal from the resonance frequency detecting circuit.
