Description

Texas Instruments created the Ultrasonic Lens
Cleaning (ULC) system for removing water, ice, and
other contaminants from automotive, security, and
industrial lens systems. ULC improves visibility by
efficiently clearing water, ice, and some contaminants.
For some use cases, ULC eliminates the need
for washer tubes, spray nozzles, or wipers.
The ULC system is an electromechanical system
composed of a piezo based lens cover or lens
system, housing, and ULC1001-DRV2911 EVM. The
ULC1001-DRV2911 EVM is the electrical system
developed to excite the lens cover and expel
contaminants.
