General Description

The RE46C141 is low power CMOS photoelectric type

smoke detector IC. With minimal external components

this circuit will provide all the required features for a

photoelectric type smoke detector.

The design incorporates a gain selectable photo

amplifier for use with an infrared emitter/detector pair.

An internal oscillator strobes power to the smoke

detection circuitry for 100us every 8.1 seconds to keep

standby current to a minimum. If smoke is sensed the

detection rate is increased to verify an alarm condition.

A high gain mode is available for push button chamber

testing.

A check for a low battery condition and chamber

integrity is performed every 32 seconds when in

standby. The temporal horn pattern supports the NFPA

72 emergency evacuation signal.

An interconnect pin allows multiple detectors to be

connected such that when one units alarms, all units

will sound.

Utilizing low power CMOS technology the RE46C141

was designed for use in smoke detectors that comply

with Underwriters Laboratory Specification UL217 and

UL268.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are

stress ratings only and operation at these conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

This product utilizes CMOS technology with static protection; however proper ESD prevention procedures should be used when

handling this product. Damage can occur when exposed to extremely high static electrical charge.
