BL59A12/BL59S12
PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE DETECTOR IC
1. Product description
1.1 Basic function:
BL59A12 (BL59S12) is a CMOS LSI used for smoke detection. Ultra-low power analog and
digital circuits are contained in it. Combined with an IR photoelectric chamber, this IC is used to
detect smoke through receiving light scattered by tiny smoke particles going into the chamber.
When smoke is detected, a burst of alarm sounds are generated by an external piezoelectric
buzzer driven by the push-pull output of this IC.
1.2. Applications:
Smoke detection system.

Functions
By connecting external capacitor, a
voltage feedback amplifier is formed.
The gain of it is determined by
capacitor’s value.
Connect a photodiode to supply a
signal to the internal comparator.
A strobe voltage output, referenced to
VDD.
When output = VDD -5V, it enables
other internal circuits.
To supply the power
To output pulse drive signal for
external NPN transistor which drives
a IR photodiode.
It can be used to connect up to 40
detectors to make auxiliary alarm,
remote alarm, auto-dialer…
Push-pull driver outputs signal to
drive external buzzer to alarm, and to
show various operation states.
To feed ‘silver’ signal back to the
push-pull output driver circuit’s input
It is an open drain output, can drive
LED directly. The LED can tell the
detector’s various operation states.
Connected to external R and C, which
determine the internal oscillator’s
frequency.
Connected to external R and C, which
determine the output pulse period of
IRED.
It connected to external resistor
divider between VDD and LED to get
a low supply alarm threshold voltage
This pin is normally low by an internal
pull-down device. When it is set high,
the IC enters into a simulated-smoke
condition. When floating, this pin
comes back to VSS (low) by
pull-down device.

6. Function of this IC:
6.1.
The variable gain photoelectric amplifier is directly connected to IR detector (photodiode).
The amplifier’s gain is determined by external capacitors C1 and C2. During standby, the
amplifier’s gain is at minimum. Under smoke condition, the amplifier’s gain is at medium.
Entering into test condition, the amplifier’s gain is at maximum. Additionally, under standby
state, if the special supervisory circuit is activated to check the chamber’s sensitivity, the
amplifier’s gain is also at its maximum.
6.2.
Using VSS as its reference, the I/O pin can be used to connect up to 40 units together.
When I/O pin is used as an input, its on-chip pull-down resistor can prevent noise from entering
into the unit. Under smoke status, the unit activates I/O driver to send a signal to its
interconnected units to activate remote alarm.

6.3.
Display method: LED (connected to LED pin) flashing combined with alarm sound,
indicates a LOCAL SMOKE condition. Only pulsating alarm sound without LED flashing
indicates a REMOTE SMOKE condition.
