Abstract:
A image stabilization control circuit is provided that comprises at least one analog-to-digital converter circuit that converts an output signal of a vibration detection element which detects vibration of an imaging device, and an output signal of a position detection element which detects a position of an optical component or an imaging element, into digital signals, and a logic circuit that generates a control signal which drives the optical component or the imaging element, based on the output signal of the vibration detection element which is digitized by the analog-to-digital converter circuit and the output signal of the position detection element which is digitized by the analog-to-digital converter circuit, wherein an offset value and an amplitude for the output signal of the position detection element are adjusted.
Abstract:
A image stabilization control circuit for an image capturing device, wherein a gyro-equalizer (24) integrates an angular velocity signal from a gyro-sensor (12) in an integration circuit (46). The integration circuit (46) is composed of a low-boost filter (LBF), and a phase delay in a target compensation region is set to a value appropriate for an integration process. Furthermore, a characteristic whereby the LBF reduces the phase delay at higher frequencies is used, compensation is applied to the excess phase delay of the angular signal in the high-frequency region brought about by the effect of the phase delay generated in the high-frequency region by the output signal of the gyro-sensor (12), and the phase delay in the high-frequency region is brought nearer to 90 degrees. This allows the accuracy of the process for determining the required displacement magnitude of a lens to be increased.
