The A5303 is a low-current BiCMOS photoelectric smoke
detector circuit with ultra-low standby current and can operate
for 10 years powered by inexpensive batteries. This device can
be used with an infrared optical chamber to sense light scattered
from smoke particles. A networking capability allows units to
be interconnected so that if any unit senses smoke all units will
sound an alarm. Special features are incorporated in the design
to facilitate calibration and testing of the finished detector.
Package: 20-pin TSSOP (suffix LE)
A variable-gain photoamplifier can be directly interfaced to
an infrared emitter-detector pair. The amplifier gain levels
are determined by two external capacitors and are internally
selected depending on the operating mode. Low gain is selected
during standby and timer modes. During a local alarm, this low
gain is increased (internally) by approximately 45% to provide
hysteresis. High gain is used during pushbutton test and to
periodically monitor the chamber sensitivity during standby.
The internal oscillator and timing circuitry minimize standby
power by sensing for smoke for only 100 μs once every 10 s.
A special three-stage-speedup sensing scheme is incorporated
to minimize the time to an audible alarm and also to reduce
false triggering. Chamber sensitivity is periodically monitored
and two consecutive cycles of degraded sensitivity are required
for a warning signal to occur.
The A5303 is supplied in a thin profile (<1.2 mm overall
height) 20-pin TSSOP package (0.65 mm nominal lead pitch).
The package is lead (Pb) free with 100% matte tin leadframe
plating.

Photoelectric Smoke Detector
with Interconnect, Timer, and Latching Alarm Indicator
Pin and Circuit Description
(In Typical Application)
C1 Pin
A capacitor connected to this pin determines the gain of the
photoamplifier, Ae , during the push-to-test mode and during the
chamber monitor test. A typical capacitor value for this highgain (supervisory) mode is 0.047 μF, but it should be selected
based on the photochamber background reflections reaching the
detector and the required level of sensitivity. Ae = 1 + (C1 / 12),
where C1 is in pF. Ae should not exceed 10,000 and thus C1
should not exceed 0.1 μF. Coupling of other signals to the C1,
C2, and DETECT inputs must be minimized.
C2 Pin
A capacitor connected to this pin determines the gain of the
photoamplifier, Ae, during standby. A typical capacitor value for
this low-gain mode is 4700 pF, but it should be selected based
on a specific photochamber and the desired level of sensitivity to smoke. Ae = 1 + (C2 / 12), where C2 is in pF. Ae should not
exceed 10,000 and thus C2 should not exceed 0.1 μF. This gain
increases by a nominal 45% after a local alarm is detected (three
consecutive detections). A resistor must be installed in series
with the C2 capacitor.
DETECT Pin
This is the input to the photoamplifier and is connected to the
cathode of the photodiode. The photodiode is operated at zero
bias and should have low dark leakage current and low capacitance. A shunt resistor must be installed in parallel with the
photodiode.
STROBE Pin
This output provides a strobed, regulated voltage of VDD – 2 V.
The minus side of all internal and external photoamplifier circuitry is referenced to this pin.
VDD Pin
This pin is connected to the positive supply potential,
typically 3 V.
LVSET Pin
This pin allows the user to externally adjust the low-battery
alarm threshold. To increase the threshold, a resistor can be connected between LVSET and VDD. To decrease the threshold, a
resistor can be connected between LVSET and VSS.
IRED Pin
This output provides a pulsed drive current for the external IR
emitter. To minimize noise impact, the IRED is not active when
the visible LED output is active.
ISET Pin
This pin allows the user to externally set the IRED current by
connecting a resistor between it and VSS. The IRED current
controls the amount of light generated by the IR LED in the
chamber. The IRED current, in mA, can be approximated using
the following equation:
IIRED (mA) = 300 / RISET
(1)
The chosen resistor should set a maximum of 300 mA (typically
a minimum of 1Ω).
I/O Pin
A connection at this pin allows multiple smoke detectors to be
interconnected. If any single unit detects smoke, its I/O pin is
driven high, and all connected units will sound their associated
alarm indicators. As an input, this pin is sampled every 4 clock
cycles (nominally 43 ms) during standby, and two consecutive
samples and one additional clock with I/O high are required
before signaling an alarm. If the I/O line goes low at all during
the 96.8 ms, the remote alarm is not enabled, providing significant immunity to I/O noise and other pulses on the I/O line
which are shorter than 9 clock cycles. The LED is suppressed
when an alarm is signaled from an interconnected unit, and
any local-alarm condition causes this pin to be ignored as an
input. An internal NMOS device acts as a charge dump to aid
in applications involving a large (distributed) capacitance, and
is activated at the end of a local or test alarm. This pin has an
on-chip pull-down device and must be left unconnected if not
used. In the application, there should be a series current-limiting
resistor to other smoke alarms.
SOUT0, SOUT1, SOUT2 Pins
These pins provide push-pull CMOS logic outputs to control an
external sound IC. The outputs indicate the state of the device as
follows:

A5303
HORN Pin
The HORN pin is a logic output provided to enable an optional,
external boost converter that can drive a piezoelectric (piezo)
horn. Using a boost converter to drive a piezo horn allows alarms
to generate high SPL levels from low supply voltages. HORN will
be driven high to enable the boost converter. The output of the
boost converter will be connected to the piezo horn such that the
horn will sound when the converter is enabled. If a boost converter and horn are not used, this pin should be left open.
BLINK Pin
This logic input determines the LED operation while the device is
in standby. If BLINK is connected to VDD the device will blink
once every approximately 43 s in standby. If BLINK is connected
to VSS the device will not blink in standby. If a low-battery or
degraded-chamber condition exists while the device is in standby,
the LED will blink as described in the Alarm Indications section,
regardless of the state of the BLINK pin. The BLINK pin has no
effect when the device is in local, remote, or test alarm.
LED Pin
This open-drain NMOS output is used to directly drive a visible
LED. The LED indicates detector status as follows (with component values as in the typical application, all times nominal):
nominally 105 μs. The internal clock high time can be calculated
by:
Thigh = 0.693 × RTRES × COSCCAP
(3)
VSS Pin
This pin is connected to the negative supply potential (usually
ground).
HUSH Pin
This input pin serves two purposes in standby mode. It serves to
enable/disable entering the internal 10-minute (nominal) “hush”
timer mode, and also as the reference for the smoke comparator
during timer mode. Timer mode allows the user to temporarily
hush alarms caused by nuisance smoke or steam (such as from
cooking).
When the voltage on this pin is greater than approximately
50 mV, entering timer mode is enabled, and a high-to-low transition on the TEST pin resets and starts timer mode. If use of timer
mode is not desired this pin must be connected to VSS, and timer
mode is disabled.
OSC CAP (Oscillator Capacitor) Pin
During timer mode the smoke comparator reference is established
externally by a resistive divider (R1 and R2) between VDD and
STROBE. Also, during timer mode the photoamplifier gain, Ae,
is internally reduced to about 55% that during the normal-gain
mode. Thus, Ae = 1 + (C2 / 22), where C2 is in pF. These two
conditions allow the detector to operate with reduced sensitivity
during timer mode. If the level of smoke increases such that the
temporary alarm threshold is reached, a local alarm will sound. If
the HUSH pin is connected directly to STROBE without using a
resistor divider, then a local alarm will never occur during timer
mode, regardless of the smoke level. When not in timer mode,
the smoke comparator reference is set internally to approximately
VDD – 1.6 V.
A capacitor between this pin and VDD, along with a parallel
resistor, forms part of a two-terminal oscillator and sets the internal clock low time. With component values shown, this nominal
time is 10.4 ms and essentially the oscillator period, which is also
the STROBE pulse width. The internal clock low time can be
calculated by:
The resistor dividers formed by the adjustable photoamp-divider
and the HUSH divider (R1 + R2, if timer mode is used) should
be chosen so that the load on STROBE does not exceed 500 μA.
Thus, the photoamp-divider (8 kΩ in the typical application) in
parallel with the HUSH divider (R1 + R2) shall be no
less than 4 kΩ.

A resistor between this pin and OSC CAP is part of the two-termi- initiated by a voltage greater than approximately VDD – 0.5 V
on this pin (usually the closure of a normally open push-button
nal oscillator and sets the internal clock high time, which is also
the IRED pulse width. With component values shown, this time is switch to VDD). After one oscillator cycle, the amplifier gain is

A5303
Photoelectric Smoke Detector
with Interconnect, Timer, and Latching Alarm Indicator
increased by internal selection of C1 so that background reflections in the smoke chamber can be used to simulate a smoke condition, and IRED pulses every 252 ms (nominal). After the third
IRED pulse (three consecutive simulated smoke conditions), the
successful test signals a continuous passing-test-alarm condition
to the sound IC, outputs the temporal pattern to the piezo horn,
and activates the I/O pin. When the pushbutton is released, the
input returns to VSS due to the internal pulldown. After one oscillator cycle, the amplifier gain returns to normal, and after three
additional IRED pulses (less than one second), the device exits
this mode and returns to standby. This high-to-low transition on
TEST also resets and starts the 10-minute (nominal) “hush” timer
mode, if the mode is enabled via the HUSH pin. The high-to-low
transition also resets the latching alarm indicator, if it is latched.
If the chamber malfunctions or is too dirty, the push-test will fail
to simulate a smoke condition, and after three failed STROBE
pulses the device signals a continuous failing-test-alarm condition on the SOUTx pins. The piezo driver and the I/O pins are not
enabled.
Diagnostic Test/Calibration mode is available to facilitate calibration and test of the IC and the assembled detector. It is initiated
by pulling TEST below VSS by continuously drawing 200 μA
from the pin for at least one clock cycle on OSC CAP. The current should not exceed 500 μA and under these conditions,
TEST pin voltage will clamp at approximately 250 mV below
VSS. One option is to connect TEST to a –5 V supply through a
15 kΩ resistor. In this mode, certain device pins are reconfigured
as described in table 1. The IRED pulse rate is increased to one
pulse every OSC CAP cycle and the STROBE pin is always
active. To exit this mode, the TEST pin should be floated, or
returned to VSS, for at least one OSC CAP cycle.
Latching Alarm Indicator
When multiple smoke detectors are networked through the I/O
line, the latching alarm indicator allows the user to identify which
detector(s) initiated an alarm. When a local alarm condition
occurs, the initiating detector(s) will latch the event in memory.
After the alarm condition has expired (the device stops signaling
the alarm condition to the sound IC) the initiating detector(s) will
output an additional 10 ms LED pulse every 43 seconds. If the
BLINK pin is connected to VDD, the additional pulse will occur
0.67 seconds after the normal standby pulse. The user can clear
the latched alarm condition by pressing and releasing the push-totest button. If the user does not press the push-to-test button, the
latched alarm condition will cease after 24 hours to preserve battery life, and to prevent masking future latched alarm indications.
Alarm Indications
Alarm conditions include: local smoke detection, a remote alarm,
low battery, and degraded chamber sensitivity. These are indicated by a combination of SOUTx output, piezo horn, and LED
signals, which continue until the alarm condition is resolved.
A local alarm always overrides a remote alarm and a push-test.
Remote alarm always overrides a push-test. A local alarm, remote
alarm, or a push-test will inhibit warning signals for low battery
or degraded chamber.
During a local or a remote alarm condition, the device continuously signals an alarm condition on the SOUTx pins that indicates the type of the alarm. The piezo horn output is a continuous
modulated tone (temporal horn pattern), nominally: 0.5 s on, 0.5 s
off, 0.5 s on, 0.5 s off, 0.5 s on, and 1.5 s off. The visible LED
also distinguishes a local alarm from a remote alarm. During a
Table 1. Alternate Pin Configuration During Diagnostic
Test/Calibration Mode
Pin Name
Alternate Configuration
I/O
Disabled as an output. A logic high on this pin places the
photoamplifier output on the BLINK pin. The amplifier
output appears as pulses.
HUSH
If the I/O pin is high, this pin controls the amplifier gain
capacitor. If this pin is low, normal gain is selected. If this
pin is high, supervisory gain is selected.
NOTE: If I/O is low, clocking this pin will cause the
device to exit diagnostic/calibration mode and enter an
Allegro-defined test mode.
BLINK
If the I/O pin is high, this pin is reconfigured as the
photoamplifier output.
SOUT0
If the I/O pin is high and the HUSH pin is low (normal
gain), taking this pin to a high logic level increases the
amplifier gain by ≈45% (hysteresis).
SOUT2
This pin is reconfigured as the smoke integrator output.
Three consecutive smoke detections will cause this pin
to go high and three consecutive no-smoke detections
cause this pin to go low.
LED
This pin becomes a low-battery indicator. The opendrain NMOS output is normally off. If VDD falls below the
low-battery threshold, the output turns on.
OSC CAP
This pin may be driven by an external clock source.
Driving this pin low and high drives the internal clock low
and high. The external RC network may remain intact.

cleared or cleaned, and the test period then reverts to (nominally)
45.9 min.
The degraded-chamber test occurs periodically (nominally every
45.9 min). During this test, the gain of the photoamplifier is
switched to the high (supervisory) level, set by C1. The device
expects that the photodiode will receive enough background
reflections in the chamber to cause an alarm condition. If a faulty,
dirty, or obstructed chamber prevents this during a test, the test
period decreases to 43 s. After two consecutive failed tests, the
device signals a degraded chamber condition to the sound IC.
It also chirps the horn and pulses the LED three times every
43 seconds. The condition is resolved when the chamber is either
The low-battery test also occurs periodically (also nominally
every 45.9 min, but at a different time than the degraded-chamber
test). During this test a resistive divider off VDD is compared to
an internal band-gap reference. If VDD is below the threshold, the
device signals a low battery condition to the sound IC and the
test period decreases to 43 s. It also chirps the horn and pulses the
LED once every 43 seconds. The condition is resolved when the
battery is replaced and the test period then reverts to (nominally)
45.9 min.
