RE46C112
Ionization Smoke Detector IC
Product Specification
General Description
The RE46C112 is an ionization type smoke detector IC.
It is intended for applications using ionization type
chambers to detect smoke. When enabled, VOUT is ¼
of either the DETECT input or VDD depending on the
status of the SELECT input. When the Select input is
allowed to float the circuit is in the low current mode
with only the guard amplifier enabled.
Utilizing low power CMOS technology the RE46C112
was designed for use in smoke detectors that comply
with Underwriters Laboratory Specification UL217.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only and operation at these conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
This product utilizes CMOS technology with static protection; however proper ESD prevention procedures should be used
when handling this product. Damage can occur when exposed to extremely high static electrical charge

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
PIN 1 (VDD) -
This pin should be connected to the most positive supply potential, typically a 9 Volt battery. The
VDD voltage can range between 6V and 12V with respect to VSS. Reverse battery protection must be provided
externally.
PIN 2 (VCC)
– This positive supply potential can range between 2.7V and 5.5V with respect to VSS and must be
less than the VDD voltage. This pin is usually connected to a microprocessor positive supply voltage.
PIN 3 (SELECT)
– This input pin determines the function of VOUT. This pin is typically driven by a
microprocessor port. The input high level should not exceed VCC. If left floating VOUT is inactive and pulled
internally to VSS. If SELECT is at the VIL (low) level then VOUT is nominally ¼ of the VDD voltage. If SELECT is
at the VIH level (high) then VOUT is nominally ¼ of the DETECT voltage.
PIN 4 (VSS)
– This pin is the negative supply potential and is usually connected to ground.
PIN 5 (VOUT)
– This analog output is a representation of VDD or DETECT or is at VSS depending on the status
of the SELECT input. Typically this output is connected to a microprocessor A to D input to monitor the status of
the supply voltage and the ionization chamber voltage.
PIN 6, 8 (G1, G2)
– These pins are connected to the internal guard amplifier output and are within ±50mV of the
DETECT input. These outputs are always active and help to minimize surface leakage to the DETECT pin.
PIN 7 (DETECT)
- This input is typically interfaced to an ionization chamber to sense the presence of smoke.
Input leakage is less than ±.75pA on this input.
