SMOKE DETECTOR

WITH INTERCONNECT AND TIMER

The A5368CA is a low-current, CMOS circuit providing all of the

required features for an ionization-type smoke detector. A networking

capability allows as many as 125 units to be interconnected so that if

any unit senses smoke, all units will sound an alarm. In addition,

special features are incorporated to facilitate alignment and test of the

finished smoke detector. This device is designed to comply with

Underwriters Laboratories Specification UL217.

The internal oscillator and timing circuitry keeps standby power to

a minimum by powering down the device for 1.66 seconds and sensing

smoke for only 10 ms. Every 24 on/off cycles, a check is made for low

battery condition. By substituting other types of sensors, or a switch

for the ionization detector, this very-low power device can be used in

numerous other battery-operated safety/security applications.

The A5368CA is supplied in a low-cost, 16-pin dual in-line plastic

package. It is rated for continuous operation over the temperature

range of 0

°C to +50°C.
