8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The DRV201A device is a voice coil motor driver designed for camera auto focus control. The device allows for a highly efficient PWM current control for VCM, while reducing lens ringing in order to significantly lower the time needed for the lens to auto focus. The following design is a common application of the DRV201A device.

8.1.1 VCM Mechanical Ringing Frequency

Ringing compensation is dependent on the VCM resonance frequency, and this can be controlled through the VCM_FREQ register (07h) from 50 Hz up to 150 Hz. VCM mechanical ringing frequency for the ringing compensation can be selected using Equation 3. The formula gives the VCM_FREQ[7:0] register value in decimal which should be rounded to the nearest integer.

Equation 3. DRV201A eq1_lvsb25.gif

Default VCM mechanical ringing frequency is 76.4 Hz.

Table 15 lists the design parameters.

Table 15. Design Parameters

DESIGN PARAMETER REFERENCE EXAMPLE VALUE
Supply voltage Vin 3.7
Motor Winding Resistance RL 15 Ω
Motor Winding Inductance IL 100 µH
Actuator Size 8.5 x 8.5 x 3.4 (mm)

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

List of components:

  • Cin - Panasonic ECJ0EB1A105M
  • VCM - Mitsumi VCM KAF-V85S60
  • Actuator size: 8.5 × 8.5 × 3.4 (mm)
  • Lens in the VCM: M6 (Pitch: 0.35)
  • Weight: 75 mg
  • TTL: 4.2 mm
  • FB: 1.1 mm

8.2.2.1 User Example 1

In Figure 15, lens settling time and settling window shows how lens control is defined. Below is an example case how the lens is controlled and what settling time is achieved:

Measured VCM resonance frequency = 100 Hz

  • According to Table 1, VCM_FREQ[7:0] = ‘10111111’ (reg 0x07h)

VCM resonance frequency, fVCM, variation is within ±10% (min 90 Hz … max 110 Hz)

  • 1/fVCM ringing compensation is used : RING_MODE = ‘1’ (reg 0x06h)

Stepping the lens by 50 µm

  • The lens is settled into a ±5-µm window within 10 ms (1/fVCM)

8.2.2.2 User Example 2

If the case is otherwise exactly the same, but VCM resonance frequency cannot be guaranteed to stay at more than ±30% variation, slower ringing compensation should be used:

Measured VCM resonance frequency = 100 Hz

  • According to Table 1, VCM_FREQ[7:0] = ‘10111111’ (reg 0x07h)

VCM resonance frequency, fVCM, variation is within ±30% (min 70 Hz … max 130 Hz)

  • 2/fVCM ringing compensation is used : RING_MODE = ‘0’ (reg 0x06h)

Stepping the lens by 50 µm

  • The lens is settled into a ±5-µm window within 20 ms (2/fVCM)
