1AF-S85M65 sets a new standard in miniaturisation and simplicity for mass-market cameraphone autofocus (AF) modules. Designed around 1 Ltd’s proprietary Xlinea™ Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator, the module is the first in a new generation of AF modules that provides an industry leading roadmap for size reduction and cost saving. The 1AF-S85M65 has a footprint of 8.5mm square, a height of 3.5mm, and accommodates a standard M6.5 threaded lens barrel. It is compatible with a range of 1/4 and 1/3 inch image sensors. The module meets industry standard drop-test and reliability specifications, and the Xlinea™ motor consumes approximately 30% of the power of a conventional voice coil motor.

Camera module integrators simply add their selected image sensor assembly and lens barrel to the AF Module to form a completed camera. The new module is compatible with standard assembly processes and therefore provides a quick and easy way for camera module integrators to assemble the autofocus camera module. AF Modules based on Xlinea™ actuators are also available for manufacture under license from 1 Ltd for those companies wishing to produce their own products 'in-house'.

Module Benefits:

• Small footprint – 8.5mm square
• Compatible with M6.5 threaded lenses and range of 1/4 & 1/3 inch image sensors
• Low profile – camera height determined by lens track length rather than height of module
• Rugged – passes industry standard environmental and reliability tests
• Low power – 50mW typical
• Non-magnetic & low EMI
• Silent operation
