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.
