Holtek announced the release of its new Smoke Detector dedicated Flash MCU, the BA45F5222. The device includes a fully integrated smoke detector AFE and an IR emission driving circuit, which is suitable for smoke detectors in fire prevention products. It is especially suitable for use in the low-cost area of smoke detector products.
HOLTEK New HT32F61730/741 Li-Battery Management MCUs

Holtek announced the release of two new Li-Battery management MCUs, the HT32F61730 and HT32F61741. Compared with the second generation HT32F61630 and HT32F61641 devices...
HOLTEK New HT45R6Q-2/HT45R6Q-3 Battery Charger OTP MCU

Holtek has further expanded its range of battery charger OTP MCUs with the present release of two new devices, the HT45R6Q-2 and HT45R6Q-3...
The device contains a 1Kx14 Flash Program Memory, a 64x8 Data Memory, a 32x14 Emulated EEPROM, a 10-bit Periodic Type TM and a multi-channel 10-bit A/D converter. The internal Smoke Detector AFE includes a fully integrated amplification circuit which is required by the IR Sensor as well as a filter circuit. These require no external components apart from the Sensor. The dual channel IR LED emission constant current driving circuit provides up to 360mA and 205mA driving capabilities which can be software adjusted in stages thus minimising the need for peripheral components.
With regard to packaging, the device is supplied in both 8-pin and 10-pin SOP package types. Compared with the previous BA45F5240 device, this new BA45F5222 device retains the smoke detection core circuit and removes the communication interface, which makes the device more suitable for use in low-cost and streamlined smoke detection products and smoke detection modules.
