JAJSIR7C October 2019 – August 2021 TPS8804
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS8804 photo amplifier connects to a photoelectric chamber photodiode and has two stages—an input stage and gain stage. When the photoelectric chamber LED is enabled, light scatters off smoke particles in the chamber into the photodiode, producing a signal proportional to the smoke concentration. The output of each photo amplifier stage is connected to the AMUX for ADC reading. This configuration provides high bandwidth and dynamic range for the photodiode signal chain as the gain stage is on-the-fly adjustable.
