Abstract

An actuator driving apparatus includes an inductor disposed on a housing to face a magnetic body attached to a lens carrier, a detector configured to apply a reference signal to the inductor and detect an inductor current flowing through the inductor, a calculator configured to determine a position of the lens carrier based on the inductor current, and a driver configured to drive an actuator based on the position of the lens carrier and a position control signal.
