Arctic 416 (AF)
 

The Arctic 416 is the perfect fit for low footprint systems, especially suitable for the current trend of slim camera phones and miniature industrial cameras. 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. For more information, contact [email protected].

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.
