12 Bit Analog to Digital Converter 2, 4 Input 1 Sigma-Delta 10-X2QFN (2x1.5)
Active13,460 in stock

Overview

The ADS1015IRUGR is a high-precision, low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring an integrated programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and a voltage reference. It supports four single-ended or two differential inputs via an internal multiplexer, making it a versatile choice for monitoring multiple analog signals in space-constrained designs. The device operates over a wide supply range from 2V to 5.5V and consumes only 0.15mA during active conversion.

Why Choose This Part

The ADS1015 includes an internal oscillator and a low-drift voltage reference, which reduces external component count and PCB footprint. Its I2C interface supports four programmable addresses, allowing multiple ADCs on a single bus, while the integrated comparator provides a simplified way to trigger alerts without constant MCU polling.

Applications

Battery Voltage Monitoring
Precise tracking of individual cell voltages in multi-cell battery packs using the differential input modes.
Industrial Sensor Interfacing
Reading low-voltage signals from thermocouples or pressure transducers using the built-in PGA for signal conditioning.
Portable Instrumentation
Providing high-resolution data acquisition for handheld devices where low power consumption and small X2QFN packaging are critical.
Current Sensing
Measuring voltage drops across shunt resistors to monitor power consumption in embedded systems.

Getting Started

Evaluation can be performed using the ADS1015EVM development kit or by integrating the chip with common I2C-capable MCUs like an ESP32 or STM32. Design engineers should ensure the I2C address pin (ADDR) is tied to GND, VDD, SDA, or SCL to select the desired bus address, and utilize the ALERT/RDY pin for interrupt-driven data acquisition.
