  • Patent number: 11444622
    Abstract: A proximity sensor that detects the distance between two coils is disclosed. In one example, the proximity sensor includes a reference signal generation circuit, a first coil, a second coil, a clock signal generation circuit, and a switched capacitor circuit. The reference signal generation circuit applies a first alternating voltage to the first coil and transmits a reference signal synchronized with the first alternating voltage to the clock signal generation circuit. The second coil is coupled with the first coil by magnetic field coupling to generate a second alternating voltage correlated with a coupling coefficient. The clock signal generation circuit transmits clock signals corresponding to the reference signal to the switched capacitor circuit, and the switched capacitor circuit detects a distance between the first coil and the second coil by acquiring the second alternating voltage at a timing when each of the clock signals changes.

  • Patent number: 11218624
    Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array including multiple pixels. A lens is provided on an optical path of incident light to the image sensor. An actuator includes a coil, and supports positioning of the lens according to a driving signal applied to the coil. A position detection coil is arranged such that it magnetically couples with the coil of the actuator. An actuator driver supplies a pulse-shaped driving signal to the coil of the actuator driver. A position detection circuit generates a position detection signal that indicates the position of the lens based on an induced electromotive force that occurs in the position detection coil according to the driving signal, and feeds back the position detection signal to the actuator driver.
