Methods and apparatus for driving a transducer
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatus for driving a haptic transducer with a driving signal. The method comprises estimating, based on a current through the haptic transducer and a terminal voltage across the haptic transducer, a back electromotive force, EMF, voltage representative of a velocity of a mass in the haptic transducer; comparing a phase of a voltage signal derived from the terminal voltage with a phase of the estimated back EMF voltage; and based on the comparison, adjusting a frequency or a phase of an output signal, wherein the driving signal is derived from the output signal, such that a frequency of the driving signal converges to a resonant frequency of the haptic transducer.
