ADS1115

Texas Instruments · 16-bit I2C ADC · VSSOP-10

Precision, low-power 16-bit analog-to-digital converter with an I2C interface, in a VSSOP-10 package. It integrates a programmable gain amplifier, voltage reference, oscillator, and a programmable digital comparator, and measures four single-ended or two differential inputs at up to 860 samples per second. An address pin gives four I2C addresses. The default high-resolution ADC bolted onto any MCU that lacks one.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ADDR input I2C target address select. Tie to GND, VDD, SDA, or SCL to select one of four 7-bit I2C addresses (0x48, 0x49, 0x4A, 0x4B).
2 ALERT/RDY output Comparator output or conversion-ready indicator (ADS1114 and ADS1115 only). Open-drain output; connect to VDD via a pullup resistor.
3 GND power_in Analog ground reference for the device. Connect to the system ground plane.
4 AIN0 input Analog input 0. Single-ended input or positive/negative side of a differential pair via the input MUX. Absolute input range GND to VDD; must not exceed VDD + 0.3V.
5 AIN1 input Analog input 1. Single-ended input or paired with AIN0 for differential measurement. Absolute input range GND to VDD.
6 AIN2 input Analog input 2 (ADS1115 only). Single-ended input or paired with AIN3 for differential measurement. Absolute input range GND to VDD.
7 AIN3 input Analog input 3 (ADS1115 only). Single-ended input or paired with AIN2 for differential measurement. Absolute input range GND to VDD.
8 VDD power_in Analog power supply, 2.0V to 5.5V. Connect a 0.1µF decoupling capacitor to GND close to the pin.
9 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data input/output (open-drain). Connect to VDD via a pullup resistor. Digital input voltage range GND to 5.5V.
10 SCL input I2C serial clock input. Connect to VDD via a pullup resistor. Supports Fast Mode (up to 400 kHz) and High-Speed Mode (up to 3.4 MHz).
