Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling an actuator in a camera module is provided. The apparatus includes a position controller for producing a control voltage to move a lens of the camera module, a hall sensor for detecting an amount of change in magnetic lines of force generated by a magnet as a hall voltage, a voice coil motor for moving the lens according to a current applied thereto, and a current controller for using a voltage applied to the voice coil motor to detect an interference voltage created by the current applied to the voice coil motor, for generating an interference-eliminated hall voltage by removing the interference voltage from the hall voltage, and for controlling the current applied to the voice coil motor based on the control voltage and the interference-eliminated hall voltage.
