发明名称 Driving circuit and method for voice coil motor with spring return
摘要 A driving circuit drives a voice coil motor having a spring return mechanism. A driving current generating unit supplies, to a coil of the voice coil motor, a driving current that corresponds to an analog control signal. Waveform memory stores digital waveform data which indicates the time waveform of a driving current to be supplied to the voice coil motor. A predetermined frequency component is removed from the frequency components of the waveform data. A control unit reads out the waveform data from the waveform memory at a rate that corresponds to the resonance frequency of the voice coil motor, and outputs the waveform data thus read out as a digital code. A D/A converter converts a digital code into an analog control signal, and outputs the analog control signal to the driving current generating unit.

主权项 1. A driving circuit configured to drive a voice coil motor having a spring return mechanism, the driving circuit comprising: a driving current generating unit configured to supply a driving current that corresponds to an analog control signal to a coil of the voice coil motor; memory configured to store digital waveform data which indicates a time waveform of the driving current, from the frequency components of which a predetermined frequency component has been removed; a control unit configured to read out the waveform data from the memory at a rate that corresponds to the resonance frequency of the voice coil motor, and to output the waveform data thus read out as a digital code; and a D/A converter configured to convert the digital code output from the control unit into an analog control signal, and to output the analog control signal thus converted to the driving current generating unit, wherein the memory is configured to store: first waveform data obtained by removing the predetermined frequency component from a step waveform that changes from zero to the target displacement; second waveform data obtained by removing the predetermined frequency component from a waveform that changes in a stepwise manner from zero to a first displacement that is greater than a target displacement, and that changes in a stepwise manner to the target displacement after the first displacement is maintained for a predetermined period of time, and wherein the control unit is configured to be capable of selectively reading out either the first waveform data or the second waveform data.
