CMOS Ionization Smoke Detector ASIC with Interconnect and Timer Mode
Product Specification

General Description
The RE46C127 is low power CMOS ionization type
smoke detector IC. With few external components this
circuit will provide all the required features for an
ionization type smoke detector.
An internal oscillator strobes power to the smoke
detection circuitry for 10.5mS every 1.66 seconds to
keep standby current to a minimum. A check for a low
battery condition is performed every 40 seconds when
in standby. A 2/3 duty cycle continuous horn pattern is
used for the alarm condition.
An interconnect pin allows multiple detectors to be
connected such that when one units alarms all units will
sound.
An internal 8 minute timer allows for a separate button
to be used for reduced sensitivity mode.
Although this device was designed for smoke detection
utilizing an ionization chamber it could be used in a
variety of security applications.
The RE46C127 is recognized by Underwriters
Laboratories for use in smoke detectors that comply
with specification UL217 and UL268.

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.
