A5364

The A5364 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 their alarm. In addition, special features are incorporated to facilitate alignment and test of the finished smoke detector. The device is Recognized by Underwriters Laboratories for use in smoke alarms that comply with Standard UL217.

The internal oscillator and timing circuitry keep standby power to a minimum by powering down the device for 1.66 seconds and sensing for smoke for only 10 ms. Every 24 on-off cycles, a check is made for a low battery condition. By substituting other types of sensors or a switch for the ionization detector, this very-lowower device can be used in numerous other battery-operated safety/security applications.

The A5364 is supplied in a low-cost 16-pin dual in-line plastic package (DIP). It is rated for continuous operation over the temperature range of -10°C to 60°C. The Pb (lead) free version (suffix ) has 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
