Automotive Ultrasonic Kick-to-Open Reference Design [Copy link]

Let’s take a look at the automotive ultrasonic kick-to-open reference design TIDA-01424!

This design uses ultrasonic sensing technology to detect a kick that indicates the user intends to open the car's power liftgate, power trunk, or power sliding door. Ultrasonic sensing technology can detect multiple objects and measure the distance to each object. The design has high resolution and low power dissipation, making it suitable for automotive hands-free closing systems where motion detection and low battery current are critical.
