 Strategic positioning |
 |
|
|
Liquid lenses are fully adapted to the next generation of mobile devices which integrate imaging
functionalities in phones, PDA’s, digital camera and videos.
For these devices, liquid lenses bring distinct advantages:
|
ㆍExtremely small scale (external diameter 8mm, thickness 2 mm)
ㆍEasy integration
ㆍFast response (less than 2/100e s)
ㆍLow electrical consumption |
To respond to the growing market demand for small, reliable and inexpensive auto focus solutions,
Varioptic has developed several products for the Consumer
Device market:
|
 Liquid Lenses |
 Arctic 416 |
|
|
|
|
This new product is the perfect fit for low footprint camera modules, especially suitable for the current trend of slim camera phones. It provides a fast track to market for OEMs and ODMs looking for an easy to integrate, high performance auto focus solution.
Taking full advantage of the ARCTIC 416 features, such as its inherent accuracy and un-matched response time, much simpler auto focus strategies can be applied to obtain sharp, crisp focus in time never reached before, well under 500 ms.

| Drivers |
| DrivIC 60 |
|
|
|
|
The DrivIC 60 Series provides developers and integrators with a set of driver solutions for the
ARCTIC Series of variable focus lenses.
The DrivIC 60 LL3 solution is based on a
step-up converter from Durel
(www.durel.com), which is tuneable
through an adjustable pin. Its H-bridge
output can drive Varioptic’s ARCTIC
liquid lenses by supplying up to 60VRMS
into a capacitive load of 500pF maximum.
The DrivIC 60 LL3 uses an external
inductor and capacitor as part of the boost
power supply. It can be shut down to
conserve power in battery operation.
