The invention discloses an active pen for a touch module, a touch input system and a driving method of the active pen. The active pen comprises a gravity induction part, an amplifying circuit connected with an output end of the gravity induction part and a signal emission part arranged at a nib of the active pen and connected with an output end of the amplifying circuit, wherein the gravity induction part is used for outputting a corresponding gravity induction output signal according to an included angle between the active pen and the horizontal plane; the amplifying circuit is used for amplifying the gravity induction output signal at corresponding multiple; and the signal emission part is used for sending the amplified signal to the touch module. According to the invention, based on the principle of gravity induction, the change of signal output can be realized through changing the included angle between the active pen and the horizontal plane, namely, the output signal is changed along with the change of the tilt angle of the active pen, so as to provide handwritings at different degrees of thickness and realize difference of line width; in addition, the nib of the active pen can be made of materials without any requirement, thereby lowering the cost.
