8.1 Application Information
The DRV201 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 DRV201 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.
VCM _ FREQ = 383 - 19200

Default VCM mechanical ringing frequency is 76.4 Hz.
VCM _ FREQ = 383 - 19200 = 131.69 Þ 132 Þ '1000 0011'
