General Description
The RE46C144 is a low-power, CMOS photoelectric-
type smoke detector IC. With minimal external
components, this circuit will provide all the required
features for a photoelectric-type smoke detector.
The design incorporates a gain selectable photo
amplifier for use with an infrared emitter/detector pair.
An internal oscillator strobes power to the smoke
detection circuitry for 100 µs every 10 seconds to keep
standby current to a minimum. If smoke is sensed, the
detection rate is increased to verify an Alarm condition.
A High Gain mode is available for push-button chamber
testing.
A check for a low-battery condition and chamber
integrity is performed every 43 seconds, when in
Standby. The alarm horn pattern utilizes a 75% duty
cycle.
An interconnect pin allows multiple detectors to be
connected such that when one units alarms, all units
will sound.
An internal 10 minute timer can be used for a reduced
sensitivity mode.
The RE46C144 device is recognized by
Underwriters Laboratories for use in smoke
detectors that comply with specification UL217 and
UL268.

C3 should be located as close as possible to the device power pins.
C3 is typical for an alkaline battery. This capacitance should be increased to 4.7 µF or greater for a carbon battery.
R10, R11 and C6 are typical values and may be adjusted to maximize sound pressure.
