Description
The A5358 is a low-current BiCMOS circuit providing all of
the required features for a photoelectric type smoke detector.
This device can be used with an infrared photoelectric chamber
to sense scattered light from smoke particles. A networking
capability allows as many as 50 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. The device is
designed for applications that comply with European Standard
EN 14604 and British Standard BS 5446, Part 1.
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 10% to reduce false
triggering. High gain is used during pushbutton test and to
periodically monitor the chamber sensitivity during standby.
The internal oscillator and timing circuitry keep standby power
to a minimum by sensing for smoke for only 100 μs 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 (chirp) to occur.
The A5358 is supplied in a 16-pin dual in-line plastic package
(suffix A), and for surface mount, a 16-pin SOICW (suffix
LW). The lead (Pb) free versions (suffix –T) have 100% matte-
tin leadframe plating. The devices are rated for continuous
operation over the temperature range of –25°C to 75°C.
