Analog Devices Inc. ADPD188BI Integrated Optical Module

Analog Devices Inc. ADPD188BI Integrated Optical Module is a complete photometric system for smoke detection using optical dual wavelength technology. The module integrates a highly efficient photometric front end, two LEDs, and two photodiodes (PDs). Analog Devices ADPD188BI Integrated Optical Module is housed in a custom package to prevent light from going from the LED to the photodiode without entering the smoke detection chamber.

The front end of the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) consists of a control block, a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a 20-bit burst accumulator, and three flexible, independently configurable LED drivers. The control circuitry includes flexible LED signaling and synchronous detection. The analog front end (AFE) features best-in-class rejection of signal offset and corruption due to modulated interference commonly caused by ambient light. The data output and functional configuration occur over a 1.8V I²C interface or serial peripheral interface (SPI) port.

Reducing the False Alarm Rate - How Smoke Alarms Can Pass the Hamburger Nuisance Alarm Test
The newly introduced hamburger nuisance test is very hard to pass because the smoke particles from a burnt hamburger patty do not differ that much from normal smoke. Discover why the integrated optical module for smoke detection is a turning point.
