Analog Devices CN0537 Reference Design for UL-217 Smoke Detector

Analog Devices CN0537 Reference Design for UL-217 Smoke Detector is designed to demonstrate the use of the ADPD188BI Integrated Optical Module in a smoke/fire detection application. The ADPD188BI optical module is a complete photometric system specifically designed for smoke detection applications. Using the ADPD188BI in place of traditional, discrete smoke detector circuits greatly simplifies the design as the optoelectronics (consisting of two LEDs and two photodetectors) and the analog front end (AFE) are already integrated into the package.

The Analog Devices Inc. CN0537 Reference Design for UL-217 Smoke Detector makes use of the EVAL-CN0537-ARDZ Evaluation Board. This Evaluation Board features a pre-mounted ADPD188BI Module, housed in a proprietary Smoke Chamber that is specifically designed to meet device and industry requirements. The internal geometry of this smoke chamber allows for the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) readings and, therefore, optimal PTR values for the ADPD188BI.

When combined with the EVAL-ADICUP3029 Development Platform, the EVAL-CN0537-ARDZ Evaluation Board can be used to create a Reference Design for a smoke/fire detector circuit compliant with the ANSI/UL-217 Standard for Smoke Alarms. The UL 217 Standard includes criteria to reduce nuisance alarms and address smoke characteristics between fast-moving and smoldering fires, greatly increasing accuracy and safety.

As battery-powered devices are a common use case for smoke detectors, the Reference Design minimizes data required from the sensor and the number of computations per alarm determination. This design allows the ADPD188BI to output less data, thereby saving power and reducing consumption cycles in the microcontroller, yet still meeting the strict UL-217 specifications.

CN0537 Data & Algorithm

The Data and Algorithm Packages help complete the Reference Design. The Data Package (EVAL-CN0537-DATA) provides an extensive smoke dataset taken at UL-217 certified facilities for those who wish to develop their own algorithm and the CN0537 source code, excluding the detection algorithm. The Algorithm Package (EVAL-CN0537-ALGO) includes everything in the Data Package and a UL certified smoke detection algorithm with associated algorithm project files.
