Product details
Overview
ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, 12-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated PGA, voltage reference, oscillator, and I²C interface. It supports up to 3.3 kSPS, 4 single-ended or 2 differential inputs, ±0.256 V to ±6.144 V programmable FSR, and operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply. It is used in automotive cluster displays for precise battery voltage and sensor signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 datasheet, ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 pinout, ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 application, or ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), I²C address configurability (4 options), ALERT/RDY comparator output behavior, multiplexer input routing, and PGA gain-dependent input impedance.
Technical Context
The ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 implements a 1-MHz internal oscillator driving a 250-kHz modulator clock, enabling single-cycle settling across all 7 programmable data rates (128–3300 SPS). Its delta-sigma architecture uses switched-capacitor sampling with configurable full-scale ranges determined by the 3-bit PGA setting.
It integrates a 4-channel analog multiplexer supporting both differential (AIN0–AIN1, AIN0–AIN3, AIN1–AIN3, AIN2–AIN3) and single-ended (AIN0–GND, AIN1–GND, AIN2–GND, AIN3–GND) configurations. The digital comparator operates in traditional or window mode, asserting the open-drain ALERT/RDY pin based on Hi_thresh/Lo_thresh register thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit noise-free resolution; guarantees no missing codes over full operating temperature range. |
| Max Sample Rate | 3.3 kSPS - enables real-time monitoring of fast-changing automotive signals like throttle position or brake pressure. |
| Input Configuration | 4 single-ended or 2 differential inputs - supports flexible sensor interfacing without external MUX hardware. |
| PGA Full-Scale Range | ±0.256 V to ±6.144 V - allows accurate measurement of both millivolt-level thermocouple outputs and volt-level battery sensing. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V automotive subsystems and simplifies power domain design. |
| Quiescent Current | 150 µA in continuous-conversion mode - reduces system power budget in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (Grade 1) - meets under-hood and instrument panel thermal requirements per AEC-Q100. |
Pinout & Package
ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 is packaged in a 10-pin UQFN (NKS) package measuring 2.0 mm × 1.6 mm with 0.5-mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs. Thermal resistance RθJA is 126.3°C/W, supporting operation at full ambient temperature without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ADDR | I²C address select input | Configures one of four I²C target addresses (0x48–0x4B); pulled high/low or left floating to set device address. |
| ALERT/RDY | Open-drain digital output | Asserts low when conversion result exceeds Hi_thresh or falls below Lo_thresh; also indicates conversion completion in RDY mode. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for analog inputs and internal reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| AIN0–AIN3 | Analog input terminals | Support configurable SE/DE acquisition via internal MUX; absolute input voltage limited to GND–0.3 V to VDD+0.3 V. |
| VDD | Power supply input | Supplies core logic, ADC, PGA, and reference; requires 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| SCL | I²C serial clock input | Accepts standard/fast/high-speed I²C clocks (up to 3.4 MHz); requires external pull-up to VDD. |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Transfers configuration registers and conversion results; requires external pull-up to VDD. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit automotive ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1015IRUGRQ1 | Same functionality and specs, but in 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package (3 mm × 4.9 mm); higher RθJA = 170.9°C/W. | Better suited for prototyping or legacy layouts requiring SOIC-compatible footprint; less optimal for dense automotive PCBs. | Select ADS1015IRUGRQ1 only if board layout accommodates larger VSSOP or requires hand-soldering feasibility. |
| ADS1115BQDGSRQ1 | 16-bit resolution, lower max data rate (860 SPS), same PGA, comparator, and I²C interface; identical UQFN-10 package and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating. | Preferred where higher DC accuracy (e.g., thermistor linearization) outweighs speed requirement; trades 3.3 kSPS for 4× resolution. | Choose ADS1115BQDGSRQ1 when system demands <100 ppm measurement accuracy over temperature, not high-speed sampling. |
Compared with ADS1015IRUGRQ1, the ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 offers superior thermal performance and smaller footprint for production automotive designs; compared with ADS1115BQDGSRQ1, it delivers 3.8× higher sample rate at the cost of 4-bit resolution - making it optimal for dynamic sensor monitoring where timing fidelity matters more than ultra-fine quantization.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by ADS1015BQDGSRQ1?
The ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 supports a maximum data rate of 3.3 kSPS (3300 samples per second), achieved when the DR[2:0] bits in the Config register are set to 111. This rate is enabled by its internal 1-MHz oscillator and delta-sigma architecture, and applies across all full-scale ranges and input configurations. At this rate, conversion time is fixed at 303 µs per sample.
Does ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 require an external voltage reference?
No, ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 does not require or support an external voltage reference. It integrates a proprietary low-drift internal reference whose accuracy and temperature stability are fully characterized in the gain error and gain drift specifications. Using the internal reference is mandatory - no external reference pin or bypass option exists.
How many I²C addresses can ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 be configured to use?
ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 supports four unique I²C target addresses: 0x48, 0x49, 0x4A, and 0x4B. These are selected by the logic level applied to the ADDR pin (GND, VDD, SDA, or SCL). This allows up to four ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 devices to share the same I²C bus without address collision in multi-sensor automotive systems.
What input configurations does ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 support?
ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 supports four single-ended inputs (AIN0–GND, AIN1–GND, AIN2–GND, AIN3–GND) or two differential inputs (AIN0–AIN1, AIN2–AIN3) via its internal multiplexer. It also supports pseudo-differential configurations such as AIN0–AIN3 and AIN1–AIN3. All configurations are software-selectable using the MUX[2:0] bits in the Config register.
Is ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 pin-compatible with ADS1015IRUGRQ1?
No, ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 (UQFN-10, NKS) and ADS1015IRUGRQ1 (VSSOP-10, DGS) are not pin-compatible. Although both have 10 pins with identical signal names and functions, their physical pinouts differ: ADS1015BQDGSRQ1 places AIN2 and AIN3 on pins 6 and 7, while ADS1015IRUGRQ1 places them on pins 7 and 6. PCB layout and footprint must be redesigned for package interchange.
