Description
The A5367 is a low-current, BiCMOS 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 their alarm. In addition, special features are incorporated
to facilitate alignment and test of the finished smoke detector.
The device is Recognized by Underwriters Laboratories for
use in smoke alarms that comply with Standard UL217 or
UL268, per file #S2113.
The internal oscillator and timing circuitry keep standby power
to a minimum by powering down the device for 1.66 seconds
and sensing for smoke for only 10 ms. Every 24 on-off cycles,
a check is made for a 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 A5367 is supplied in a low-cost 16-pin dual in-line plastic
package (DIP). It is rated for continuous operation over the
temperature range of –10°C to 60°C. The Pb (lead) free version
(suffix –T) has 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
