1. A tiltless optical image stabilization (OIS) circuit comprising:
a first signal processing unit configured to generate a first direction-position detection signal based on a first direction-first sensing signal from a first direction-first position detection sensor disposed on a housing of a camera module and a first direction-second sensing signal from a first direction-second position detection sensor disposed on the housing, and generate a tilt detection signal based on the first direction-first sensing signal and the first direction-second sensing signal;
a control unit, connected to the first signal processing unit, configured to generate a first direction position control signal, a tilt control signal, and a second direction position control signal, based on the first direction-position detection signal, the tilt detection signal, and a second direction sensing signal from a second direction-position detection sensor disposed on the housing, respectively;
a second signal processing unit configured to generate a first direction-first position control signal and a first direction-second position control signal based on the first direction position control signal and the tilt control signal; and
a driving unit configured to generate a first direction-first driving signal, a first direction-second driving signal, and a second direction driving signal, based on the first direction-first position control signal, the first direction-second position control signal, and the second direction position control signal, respectively,
wherein the second signal processing snit is connected between the control unit and the driving unit.
