An internal oscillator strobes power to the smoke
detection circuitry for 10.5mS every 1.66 seconds to
keep standby current to a minimum. A check for a low
battery condition is performed every 40 seconds when
in standby. . A 2/3 duty cycle continuous horn pattern is
used for the alarm condition.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION and APPLICATION NOTES
Note: All timing references are nominal values. Refer to the electrical specifications for limits
Internal Timing – With external components as indicated on the application drawing the period of the oscillator is
nominally 1.67 seconds in standby. Every 1.66 seconds the detection circuitry is powered up for 10.5mS and the
status of the smoke comparator is latched. In addition every 40 seconds the LED driver is turned on for 10.5mS
and the status of the low battery comparator is latched. The smoke comparator status is not checked during the
low battery test, during the low battery horn warning chirp, or when the horn is on due to an alarm condition.
If an alarm condition is detected the oscillator period increases to 41.5mS.
Due to the low currents used in the oscillator the capacitor on pin 12 should be a low leakage type. Oscillator
accuracy will depend mainly on the tolerance of the RBIAS resistor and OSCAP capacitor.
Smoke Detection Circuit – The smoke comparator compares the ionization chamber voltage to a voltage derived
from a resistor divider across VDD. This divider voltage is available externally on pin 13 (VSEN).
Pin 13 (VSEN) can be used to modify the internal set point for the smoke comparator by using external resistors
to VDD or VSS. Nominal values for the internal resistor divider are indicated on the block diagram. These internal
resistor values can vary by up to ±20% but the resistor matching will be <2% on any one device. A transmission
switch on pin 13 isolates this pin during the low battery test so that the low battery set point will not be affected if
external resistors are used to modify the smoke sensitivity set point.
The guard amplifier and outputs are always active and will be within 50mV of the DETECT input to reduce surface
leakage. The guard outputs also allow for measurement of the DETECT input without loading the ionization
chamber.
Low Battery Detection - An internal reference is compared to the voltage divided VDD supply. The battery can be
checked under load via the LED low side driver output since low battery status is latched at the end of the 11mS
LED pulse. Pin 3 (LBADJ) can be used to modify the low battery set point by placing a resistor to VDD or VSS.
Note that the internal resistor string is common to both pin 3 and pin 13 so there will be some interaction between
the two. Modification of the low battery set point may affect the smoke sensitivity setting.
LED Pulse – The LED is pulsed on for 10.5mS every 40S in standby. In alarm the LED is pulsed on for 10.5mS
every 1S. For a remote alarm condition the LED is always off.
Interconnect – Pin 2 (IO) provides the capability to common many detectors in a single system. If a single unit
goes into alarm the IO pin is driven high. This high signal causes the interconnected units to alarm. The LED
flashes every 1S for 10.5mS on the signaling unit and is inhibited on the units that are in alarm due to the IO
signal. An internal sink device on the IO pin helps to discharge the interconnect line. This dump device is active
for 1 clock cycle after the unit exits the alarm condition (1.67S).
The interconnect input has a 500mS nominal digital filter. This allows for interconnection to other types of alarms
(carbon monoxide for example) that may have a pulsed interconnect signal.
Testing - By holding pin 12 (OSCAP) low the internal power strobe is active and pin1 (DETCOMP) can be used to
check for smoke. Please refer to the timing diagrams.
