Description

The RE46C162/163 devices are low-power, CMOS
ionization type, smoke detector ICs. With few external
components, these circuits will provide all the required
features for an ionization type smoke detector.
An internal oscillator strobes power to the smoke
detection circuitry for 10.5 ms every 1.67 seconds to
keep standby current to a minimum. A check for a low
battery condition is performed every 40 seconds when
in standby. The temporal horn pattern supports the
NFPA 72 emergency evacuation signal. 
An interconnect pin allows multiple detectors to be
connected so when one unit alarms, all units will sound.
A charge dump feature will quickly discharge the inter-
connect line when exiting a local alarm. The intercon-
nect input is also digitally filtered.
An internal timer allows for a single button, push-to-test
to be used for a reduced sensitivity mode.
An alarm memory feature allows the user to determine
if the unit has previously entered a local alarm
condition.
Utilizing low-power CMOS technology, the
RE46C162/163 devices are designed for use in smoke
detectors that comply with Underwriters Laboratory
Specification UL217 and UL268.

Typical Applications

Note 1:

Select R5 and R6 for the correct level to test the ion chamber. The voltage level on pin 1 (TSTART) must
be greater than the VIH level to initiate the timer. Pin 1 has an internal 180K nominal pull down which must
be considered.

2:

Select R9 to reduce sensitivity during the timer mode.

3:

R3, R4 and C1 are typical values and may be adjusted to maximize sound pressure.

4:

C2 should be located as close as possible to the device power pins.

5:

Route the pin 8 PC board trace away from pin 7 to avoid coupling.

6:

R8 should be at least 1.5K.

DD

 sets the internal bias current.

8

FEED

Usually connected to the feedback electrode through a current limiting resistor. 
If not used, this pin must be connected to V

DD

 or V

SS

.

9

V

SS

Connect to the negative supply voltage.

10

HB

This pin is connected to the metal electrode of a piezoelectric transducer.

11

HS

HS is a complementary output to HB and connects to the ceramic electrode of 
the piezoelectric transducer.

12

OSCAP

A capacitor connected between this pin and V

SS

 sets the oscillator timing.

13

VSEN

This pin can be used to modify the set point for the smoke comparator by use of 
external resistors to V

DD

 or V

SS

.

14

GUARD1

Output of the guard amplifier.

15

DETECT

Connect to the collector electrode (CEV) of the ion smoke chamber.

16

GUARD2

Output of the guard amplifier.
