One of the highest-volume products used in homes, commercial buildings, and factories is the smoke detector. Smoke detectors are mandated by government everywhere, so almost everyone has one. Literally hundreds of millions, maybe a billion, of them are installed around the world. Still, they’re missing from too many older homes and buildings.
The effectiveness of a smoke detector depends on the technology used, its placement in the home or building, and its power source. Now Analog Devices offers a whole new generation of detectors. The company’s ADPD188BI smoke-detector module significantly improves smoke detection and thereby can save more lives and property.
