Abstract

A camera module includes a lens barrel, a driving coil disposed to face a target detection unit prepared on one side of the lens barrel, a driving device configured to provide a driving signal to the driving coil, and a position calculating unit including a first capacitor, configured to provide a ground for an alternating current (AC) signal to the driving coil, a second capacitor, connected to the driving coil to constitute oscillation circuit together with the driving coil, and a position calculating circuit configured to calculate a position of the lens barrel from a frequency of the oscillation circuit.
