The MAX30105 shares the same die with the MAX30101. This new part is created to address different markets. The method used is called External Sampling Photoelectric (ESP) smoke detection technology. ESP replaces the internal chamber found in traditional devices with an optical smoke detector IC to detect smoke outside the device.
A company named Valor licenses External Sampling Photoelectric (ESP) smoke detection technology. Compared to traditional smoke detectors, ESP activates more quickly to smoldering and flaming fires but is less susceptible to nuisance alarms. Maxim supports only the physical layer. The smart algorithm depends on the customer themselves or our algorithm partner: Valor Fire Safety, LLC (“Valor”).
