1.1 INTRODUCTION

TULA (Tiny Ultrasonic Linear Actuator), as the

subminiature motor using the piezoelectric phenomenon of
PZT ceramic, is developed for Zoom and AF(Auto focus) of
camera lens, OIS(Optical Image Stabilizer) and Pick-up part
for next storage devices.

The purpose of TULA Evaluation-KIT (EV-KIT) is to

assist the development of application using TULA.
With EV-KIT, you can understand the basic characteristics
of TULA Module (TM) by changing duty ratio, voltage and
frequency. It is possible to control the position of TM with
EV-KIT because of MR sensor (resolution : 5um).
For the test of a temperature change, temperature sensor is
mounted on EV-KIT (optional).

2. DEMO PROGRAM

2.1 INSTALLATION

1) Insert CD-ROM disc of “Piezo Demo Program” and copy the Execution folder in your
computer or other restore devices.

2) Run PiezoSdemo.exe.
⇒ The following window appears.

7
2.2 SETTING AND OPERATION

1) Click “Port” icon on menu bar and select “COM1” or “COM2”

2) Click “OK” button on popup window

3) Click “Confirm” button on popup window

8
4) If you click “Port” again, communication port is closed

9
5) Write the proper value of Frequency and Pulse in textbox according to the type of
TULA and click the button of them.
Note : the value of Pulse must be “+50” until setup is completed

6) The results are displayed on “Received data” window

10
7) Click “Home” button. If its operation is completed, the current
position of TULA will be zero and displayed.

8) Click “TULA Auto Tuning” button. It will take around 5 seconds to

be done.

11
9) Now, you are ready to operate TULA

10) If you click “ Clear” button, all data on “Received data” window
will be disappeared.

11) If you click “Motor Start” button, TULA will move with “+10” pulses.
After operating, current position and displacement are displayed.
Change the sign and value of Pulse to move TULA back and forth,
and to increase or decrease the displacement.

12
12) Click “ Current Position” button to know the distance from
home position.

13) If you click “Motor Stop” button, the operation of TULA will be
terminated at once.
