BL59A10/S10 PHOTOELECTRIC SMODE DETECTOR IC

1. Product description
1.1 Basic function:
BL59A10/ S10 is a CMOS LSI used for smoke detection. Ultra-low power analog and
digital circuits are contained in it. Combined with an IR photoelectric chamber,
this IC is used to detect smoke through receiving light scattered by tiny smoke
particles going into the chamber. When smoke is detected, a burst of alarm sounds
are generated by an external piezoelectric buzzer driven by the push-pull output of
this IC.

1.2. Applications:
Smoke detection system.

2. Features
Power supply range: 6V ～ 12V
Average supply current: 12uA
Operating temperature range: -10 ～ 60 ℃
Ideal for battery powered applications.

it is set high, the IC enters into

a simulated-smoke condition.
When floating, this pin comes
back to VSS (low) by pull-down
device.

6. Function of this IC
6.1. The variable gain photoelectric amplifier is directly connected to IR detector
(photodiode). The amplifier’s gain is determined by external capacitors C1 and C2.
During standby, the amplifier’s gain is at minimum. Under smoke condition, the
amplifier’s gain is at medium. Entering into test condition, the amplifier’s gain
is at maximum. Additionally, under standby state, if the special supervisory circuit
is activated to check the chamber’s sensitivity, the amplifier’s gain is also at its
maximum.
6.2. Using VSS as its reference, the I/O pin can be used to connect up to 40 units together.
When I/O pin is used as an input, its on-chip pull-down resistor can prevent noise from
entering into the unit. Under smoke status, the unit activates I/O driver to send a
signal to its interconnected units to activate remote alarm.
6.3. Display method: LED (connected to LED pin) flashing combined with alarm sound,
indicates a LOCAL SMOKE condition. Only pulsating alarm sound without LED flashing
indicates a REMOTE SMOKE condition.

9. Calibration
To enter calibration mode, pin16 (TEST) must be below VSS, pulling more than 100uA
continuously out of the pin for at least one OSC cycle. To exit this mode, the TEST
pin is floated at least one OSC cycle.
