Our ionization and photoelectric smoke detector ICs are complete solutions for creating a low-cost smoke detector, while our ionization smoke detector front ends can be combined with one of microcontrollers (MCUs) to create a complete design. Whether you are developing an ionization smoke alarm or a photelectric smoke alarm, we offer devices with the following features:
Low battery detection
Reverse battery protection
Temporal continuous tone pattern horn driving
Low-current, low-power operation
SOIC or PDIP package
Interconnect pin
We also provide a selection of integrated devices that include these additional features:
Interconnect for sounding multiple connected units
Sensitivity timer
Internal power-on reset
Reverse battery protection
Diagnostic mode for production calibration
These low-power companion devices provide all the necessary analog, interface, and power management functions to build a microcontroller-based CO or toxic gas detector, including:
Power management system
Boost regulator
High-performance op amp
Microcontroller voltage regulator
Piezoelectric horn driver
LED driver
Bidirectional interconnect
Ranging from simple to more highly integrated solutions, our horn driver ICs can be used to drive piezoelectric horns in safety, security, toys and other applications.
