The A5347CA 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 A5347CA 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.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The A5347CA is a low-current CMOS circuit providing all of the
required features for an ionization-type smoke detector.
Oscillator. An internal oscillator operates with a period of 1.67
seconds during no-smoke conditions. Every 1.67 seconds, internal
power is applied to the entire circuit and a check is made for smoke.
Every 24 clock cycles (40 seconds), the LED is pulsed and a check
is made for low battery by comparing V
DD
to an internal reference.
Since very-low currents are used in the device, the oscillator capacitor
at pin 12
should be a low-leakage type (PTFE, polystyrene, or
polypropylene).
Detector Circuitry. When smoke is detected, the resistor divider
network that sets the sensitivity (smoke trip point) is altered to increase
the sensitivity set voltage (pin 13) by typically 130 mV with no external
connections to pins 3 or 13. This provides hysteresis and reduces
false triggering. An active guard is provided on both pins adjacent to
the detector input (pin 15). The voltage at pins 14 and 16 will be within
100 mV of the input. This will keep surface leakage currents to a
minimum and provide a method of measuring the input voltage without
loading the ionization chamber. The active guard amplifier is not
power strobed and thus provides constant protection from surface
leakage currents. The detector input has internal diode protection
against static damage.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Alarm Circuitry. If smoke is detected, the
oscillator period changes to 40 ms and the
horn is enabled. The horn output is typically
160 ms ON, 80 ms OFF. During the OFF
time, smoke is again checked and will inhibit
further alarm output if smoke is not sensed.
During smoke conditions the low battery
alarm is inhibited and the LED is driven at a
1 Hz rate.
Sensitivity Adjust. The detector sensitivity
to smoke is set internally by a voltage divider
connected between V
DD
and V
SS
. The
sensitivity can be externally adjusted to the
individual characteristics of the ionization
chamber by connecting a resistor between
pin 13 and V
DD
, or between pin 13 and V
SS
.
Low Battery. The low battery threshold is
set internally by a voltage divider connected
between V
DD
and V
SS
. The threshold can be
increased by connecting a resistor between
pin 3 and V
DD
. The threshold can be de-
creased by connecting a resistor between
pin 3 and V
SS
. The battery voltage level is
checked every 40 seconds during the 10 mA,
10 ms LED pulse. If an LED is not used, it
should be replaced with an equivalent
resistor (typically 500
to 1000
) such that
the battery loading remains at 10 mA.
Timer. An internal timer is provided that can
be used in various configurations to allow for
a period of reduced smoke detector sensitiv-
ity ("hush"). When a high-to-low transition
occurs at pin 1, the internal timer is reset,
the timer mode enabled, and the circuit reset
to a no alarm condition. The LED will flash
at a 10 second rate. If the level of smoke is
increased such that the reduced sensitivity
level is reached, the device will go into the
alarm condition. The timer, however, will
continue to completion of the nominal 10-1/4
minute period (368 clock cycles). If the timer
mode is not used, pin 1 should be tied low.
I/O. A connection is provided at pin 2 to allow multiple smoke detec-
tors to be commoned. If any single unit detects smoke (I/O is driven
high), all connected units will sound their associated horns after a
nominal 3 second delay. The LED is suppressed when an alarm is
signaled from an interconnected unit.
Testing. On power up, all internal counters are reset. Internal test
circuitry allows for low battery check by holding pins 8 and 12 low
during power up, then reducing V
DD
and monitoring HORN
1
(pin 10).
All functional tests can be accelerated by driving pin 12 with a 2 kHz
square wave. The 10 ms strobe period must be maintained for proper
operation of the comparator circuitry.
