Integration is the signature of semiconductor technology. Microchip Technology’s RE46C190 3V photoelectric smoke-detector IC integrates a horn driver and boost regulator. In addition, the IC has programmable calibration and operating modes that can be selected and calibrated during manufacturing. This simplifies smoke-detector design and manufacturing. The integrated photoelectric smoke detector requires minimal external components. The 3V sensor operates from two AA batteries.
