ams OSRAM M3-FS Focus Module

ams OSRAM M3-FS Focus Module provides high-resolution lens motion and excellent dynamic stability to the smallest embedded optical systems in handheld and portable instruments. Designed as a miniature "plug and play" solution, this module offers a closed-loop motion solution complete with an embedded controller. This module does not require more space than a typical fixed lens mount. The M3-FS Focus Module requires very low power to move the lens and zero power to hold the lens in any position. ams OSRAM M3-FS Focus Module accepts a 3.3V supply and simple high-level commands from the user's system processor. The low-power operation makes the M3-FS ideal for battery-powered devices.
