Smoke Detector

Nowadays we use a lot of materials in our daily life those are made up from a
variety of plastic compound some of them caught fire very soon. Few of us
realize how easily and how quickly fire can harm our loved ones. Fortunately,
there is a simple, affordable way to help prevent this from happening: the
smoke alarm. By providing an early warning in the event of fire, smoke alarms
may allow you and your family sufficient time to reach safety. Many people
have neglected to install smoke alarms despite their life-saving potential and
low cost.

Objective:- In our daily life we came to know about various disasters due to
fire, many of them could be avoided we could detect them before it went out
of control and most appropriate method is installation of smoke detector. In
this project how we can interface out microcontroller with our physical
environment by using the bridge of smoke sensor.

RESISTORS
The flow of charge (or current) through any material, encounters an
opposing force similar in many respect to mechanical friction. This
opposing force is called resistance of the material. It is measured in
ohms. In some electric circuits resistance is deliberately introduced in
the form of the resistor.
Resistors are of following types:
1. Wire wound resistors.
2. Carbon resistors.
3. Metal film resistors.

Wire Wound Resistors:


Wire wound resistors are made from a long (usually Ni-Chromium)
wound on a ceramic core. Longer the length of the wire, higher is the
resistance. So depending on the value of resistor required in a circuit,
the wire is cut and wound on a ceramic core. This entire assembly is
coated with a ceramic metal. Such resistors are generally available in
power of 2 watts to several hundred watts and resistance values from
1ohm to 100k ohms. Thus wire wound resistors are used for high
currents.

Carbon Resistors:
Carbon resistors are divided into three types:
a. Carbon composition resistors are made by mixing carbon grains
with binding material (glue) and moduled in the form of rods. Wire
leads are inserted at the two ends. After this an insulating material
seals the resistor. Resistors are available in power ratings of 1/10,
1/8, 1/4 , 1/2 , 1.2 watts and values from 1 ohm to 20 ohms.
b. Carbon film resistors are made by deposition carbon film on a
ceramicrod. They are cheaper than carbon composition resistors.
c. Cement film resistors are made of thin carbon coating fired onto a
solid ceramic substrate. The main purpose is to have more precise
resistance values and greater stability with heat. They are made in a
small square with leads.

Metal Film Resistors:


They are also called thin film resistors. They are made of a thin metal
coating deposited on a cylindrical insulating support. The high
resistance values are not precise in value; however, such resistors are
free of inductance effect that is common in wire wound resistors at
high frequency.

Variable Resistors:
Potentiometer is a resistor where values can be set depending on the
requirement. Potentiometer is widely used in electronics systems.
Examples are volume control, tons control, brightness and contrast
control of radio or T.V. sets.

Transistor:-

The schematic representation of a transistor is shown. Note the arrow


pointing down towards the emitter. This signifies it's an NPN
transistor A transistor is basically a current amplifier. Say we let 1mA
flow into the base. We may get 100mA flowing into the collector.
Note: The currents flowing into the base and collector exit through the
emitter (sum off all currents entering or leaving a node must equal
zero). The gain of the transistor will be listed in the datasheet as either
βDC or Hfe. The gain won't be identical even in transistors with the

same part number. The gain also varies with the collector current and
temperature.
LED:- LED means light emitting diode. Its function is similar to the
diode. But these are not made up from silicon or germanium. These
are generally used as a indicating device. There are variety of LEDs
are available in market depending upon their size and colour.
Polarity of LED:- LED have polarity. We can judge its polarity by
watching flags in its structure. Bigger flag is known as cathode and
smaller flag is known as anode as shown below.

OP-AMP Comparator Circuit Working


A comparator circuit compares two voltages and outputs either a 1 (the voltage
at the plus side; VDD in the illustration) or a 0 (the voltage at the negative side)
to indicate which is larger. Comparators are often used, for example, to check
whether an input has reached some predetermined value. In most cases a
comparator is implemented using a dedicated comparator IC, but op-amps may
be used as an alternative. Comparator diagrams and op-amp diagrams use the
same symbols.
Figure 4 shows a comparator circuit. Note first that the circuit does not use
feedback. The circuit amplifies the voltage difference between Vin and VREF,
and outputs the result at Vout. If Vin is greater than VREF, then voltage at Vout
will rise to its positive saturation level; that is, to the voltage at the positive side.
If Vin is lower than VREF, then Vout, will fall to its negative saturation level,
equal to the voltage at the negative side.
In practice, this circuit can be improved by incorporating a hysteresis voltage
range to reduce its sensitivity to noise. The circuit shown in Fig. 5, for example,
will provide stable operation even when the Vin signal is somewhat noisy.

Buzzer Circuit
Buzzer is a component, which generates a beep when it is powered
up. It operates at 9/12V effectively.
A low power transistors are needed to switch the current for the
buzzer. Here in circuit Q1 and Q2 transistors are used to switch the
buzzer.
First transistor is PNP transistor so it will be switch on when it
get low pulse at its base. When it get a low its base then +5V is
available at the base of second transistor. Second transistor is NPN. It
switched on when it get high pulse at the base. When a low is
available at the base of first transistor then +5V is available at the
base of transistor which results in switch ON of buzzer.
