Description
The RE46C190 is a low power, low voltage 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 every 10 seconds, to keep the
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 is performed every
86 seconds, and chamber integrity is tested once every
43 seconds, when in Standby. The temporal horn pat-
tern supports the NFPA 72 emergency evacuation sig-
nal.
An interconnect pin allows multiple detectors to be
connected such that, when one unit alarms, all units will
sound.
An internal 9 minute timer can be used for a Reduced
Sensitivity mode.
Utilizing low power CMOS technology, the RE46C190
was designed for use in smoke detectors that comply
with Underwriters Laboratory Specification UL217 and
UL268.

Note 1:
C2 should be located as close as possible to the device power pins, and C1 should be located as close
as possible to V
SS
.
2:
R3, R4 and C5 are typical values and may be adjusted to maximize sound pressure.
3:
DC-DC converter in High Boost mode (nominal V
BST
= 9.6V) can draw current pulses of greater than 1A,
and is therefore very sensitive to series resistance. Critical components of this resistance are the
inductor DC resistance, the internal resistance of the battery and the resistance in the connections from
the inductor to the battery, from the inductor to the LX pin and from the V
SS
pin to the battery. In order to
function properly under full load at V
DD
= 2V, the total of the inductor and interconnect resistances should
not exceed 0.3
.
The internal battery resistance should be no more than 0.5
and a low ESR capacitor
of 10 µF or more should be connected in parallel with the battery, to average the current draw over the
boost converter cycle.
4:
Schottky diode D1 must have a maximum peak current rating of at least 1.5A. For best results it should
have forward voltage specification of less than 0.5V at 1A, and low reverse leakage.
5:
Inductor L1 must have a maximum peak current rating of at least 1.5A.

inductor disconnected and the DC-DC converter NOT running.
Typical values are for design information only.
Limits over the specified temperature range are not production tested and are based on characterization
data. Unless otherwise stated, production test is at room temperature with guardbanded limits.
