Description
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-low–power 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 0°C to 50°C. The Pb (lead) free version
(suffix –T) has 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
Package: 16-pin DIP (suffix A)

Circuit Description
The A5364 is a low-current, CMOS circuit providing all of the
required features for an ionization-type smoke detector.
Oscillator
An internal oscillator operates with a period of 1.67 seconds
during no-smoke conditions. Every 1.67 seconds, internal power
is applied to the entire circuit for 10 ms and a check is made for
smoke. Every 24 clock cycles (approximately 40 seconds), the
LED pin is pulsed and a check is made for low battery by com-
paring V
DD
to an internal reference. Because very-low currents
are used in the device, the oscillator capacitor at the OSC CAP
pin should be a low-leakage type (PTFE, polystyrene, or polypro-
pylene).
Detector Circuitry
When the voltage on the DETECT IN pin is less than the volt-
age on the SENSITIVITY SET pin, the A5364 evaluates this as a
smoke condition.
During a smoke condition, the resistor divider
network that sets the sensitivity (also referred to as the
smoke trip
point)
is altered to increase V
SENSITIVITYSET
by 130 mV typical
(with no external connections on the SENSITIVITY SET pin).
This provides hysteresis and reduces false triggering.
An active guard is provided on GUARD1 and GUARD2, the two
pins adjacent to the detector input, the DETECT IN pin. V
GUARD1
and V
GUARD2
will be within 100 mV of V
DETECTIN
. This will
keep surface leakage currents to a minimum and provide a
method of measuring the input voltage without loading the ion-
ization chamber. The active guard amplifier is not power strobed
and thus provides constant protection from surface leakage
currents. The detector input has internal diode protection against
electrostatic damage.
Alarm Circuitry
If smoke is detected, the oscillator period changes to 40 ms and
the horn is enabled. The horn output follows a temporal horn
pattern of nominally: 0.5 s on, 0.5 s off, 0.5 s on, 0.5 s, 0.5 s on,
1.5 s off. During the off-time, smoke is checked and further alarm
output will be inhibited if smoke is not sensed. During a smoke
condition, the low-battery alarm is inhibited and the LED is
pulsed approximately once every second.
Sensitivity Adjust
The detector sensitivity to smoke is set internally by a voltage
divider connected between VDD and VSS. The sensitivity can,
however, be externally adjusted to the individual characteristics
