Microchip Technology ion and photo smoke-detector ICs

Friday, 02 July, 2010 | Supplied by: Microchip Technology Australia


What is claimed to be the first ion and photo smoke-detector ICs to offer alarm memory have been released.

The low-power RE46C162/3 ion and RE46C165/6/7/8 photo smoke-detector ICs make it easy to quickly determine which detector in an interconnected loop triggered an alarm.

The ICs’ low energy use enables smoke detectors with a battery life of 10 years, and an interconnect filter enables a connection to other devices, such as CO detectors.

The alarm-memory enables the detector that caused the fault to be identified, which greatly reduces costs associated with installing and troubleshooting these types of smoke-detector systems. A charge-dump feature allows the alarm on all interconnected devices to stop sooner.
