M3-F Focus Module Miniature micro-mechatronic smart module for precision focus FEATURES Small: complete, compact system with integrated controls and firmware – no external control board needed Superior image quality: micron-precision lens movement with very low tilt Low Voltage, low power use: runs on 3.3 V DC input, holds focus with power off Simple system integration: accepts high-level motion commands over standard serial interface (I2C or SPI) Flexible, production-ready system: compatible with M8 to M12 lenses and standard imager formats (e.g. 1/2" and 1/1.8") APPLICATIONS Miniature, high-resolution cameras Biometric systems Infrared cameras Medical diagnostic and inspection systems Miniature video cameras and computer cameras Projectors Targeting systems Cost-effective system solution: single-lens system with embedded closed-loop drive circuit for high repeatability with low external processing requirements Precision lens control; superior image quality M3-F focus modules add high-resolution lens motion to the smallest OEM cameras. A complete closed-loop motion solution, the M3-F focus module is no larger than a fixed lens holder and has low power requirements for use in battery-powered devices. The M3-F smart module gives you a single-lens focus solution with minimal external processing requirements, making it simple and costeffective to integrate focus into your camera system. Precise lens position control (0.5 micron resolution) and best-in-class bi-directional repeatability enable you to capture the sharpest images from your board-mounted camera system. M3-F modules are designed for long life, with high performance that is not susceptible to temperature or power variations. Your Camera Board M3-F Module Your M8 to M12 Lens Flexibility and Precision: M3-F modules are easily integrated with your camera board and lens. The M3-F is a complete, drop-in focus solution that requires no more space than a fixed lens holder. The M3 micro-mechatronic platform New Scale’s M3 Micro-Mechatronic Module technology platform provides the smallest, highest resolution and most repeatable closedloop micro-mechatronic systems available –in easily integrated, customizable packages. M3 smart modules include a patented SQUIGGLE® RV piezo micro motor, an NSD-2101 drive ASIC, an NSE5310 high-resolution magnetic position sensor, and a microprocessor. These combine to create the world’s smallest closed-loop linear motion systems, with performance comparable to much larger systems. www.ams.com SQUIGGLE RV micro motor and NSD-2101 drive ASIC - the world’s smallest linear motor system- inside every M3-F smart module.
