Product details
Overview
ADS1115EVM-PDK from Texas Instruments is an evaluation kit comprising the ADS1115EVM board, MMB3 motherboard, and ADCPro software for evaluating the ADS1115 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter. It supports dual-device I²C evaluation, configurable input multiplexing (AIN0–AIN3), programmable gain amplifier (PGA) settings up to 16×, and real-time data acquisition at 8–860 SPS with scope/FFT/histogram analysis.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1115EVM-PDK datasheet, ADS1115EVM-PDK pinout, ADS1115EVM-PDK application, or ADS1115EVM-PDK equivalent, this kit delivers turnkey validation of precision sensor signal chains, low-power industrial monitoring systems, and multi-channel voltage measurement interfaces using the ADS1115 IC in continuous-conversion mode.
Technical Context
The ADS1115EVM-PDK integrates the ADS1115EVM daughterboard-featuring two ADS1115 ICs-with the MSP430F449-based MMB3 motherboard to enable USB-hosted evaluation. It relies on I²C communication (3.3V logic, pull-up enabled on SDA/SCL) and provides full register-level control over mux configuration, PGA gain, data rate, comparator thresholds, and alert behavior via ADCPro's Device 1/Device 2 tabs.
All analog inputs (J1) and digital control pins (J3) are directly routed to the ADS1115 devices without buffering or protection. Power is supplied entirely via USB through the MMB3, which generates regulated +3.3VD, +5VD, and ±10V rails-though only +3.3VD and +5VD are delivered to the ADS1115EVM; +VA must not be selected to avoid device damage.

FAQ
What is the ADS1115EVM-PDK used for?
The ADS1115EVM-PDK is a complete evaluation kit used to characterize and validate the ADS1115 16-bit delta-sigma ADC in real-world applications. It enables engineers to configure input multiplexing, PGA gain, data rate, comparator thresholds, and alert behavior via ADCPro software - all while acquiring time-synchronized data from two ADS1115 devices simultaneously. The ADS1115EVM-PDK simplifies verification of sensor front-end designs before integration into final systems.
Does the ADS1115EVM-PDK require external power?
No, the ADS1115EVM-PDK draws all operating power from the host PC's USB port via the MMB3 motherboard. The MMB3 internally generates +3.3VD and +5VD for the ADS1115EVM; external power supplies are unnecessary and discouraged - selecting +VA on switch S1 risks applying ±10V and damaging the ADS1115EVM-PDK.
Can the ADS1115EVM-PDK operate on modern Windows versions?
The ADS1115EVM-PDK software stack - specifically ADCPro and its plug-in - officially supports only Microsoft Windows XP. It is not compatible with Windows Vista or later versions due to driver and architecture dependencies, including the TUSB3410 Virtual COM port driver. Users must deploy the ADS1115EVM-PDK on a dedicated Windows XP system or virtual machine with USB passthrough enabled.
How many ADS1115 devices does the ADS1115EVM-PDK evaluate?
The ADS1115EVM-PDK evaluates two ADS1115 devices (U1 and U2) simultaneously on a single ADS1115EVM board. ADCPro's Device 1 and Device 2 tabs provide independent register-level control for each, including separate I²C address configuration (via JMP2), mux selection, PGA gain, and comparator settings - enabling side-by-side comparison or differential system testing.
What firmware is required for the ADS1115EVM-PDK to function?
The ADS1115EVM-PDK requires firmware loaded onto the MMB3's MSP430F449 microcontroller. This firmware is automatically downloaded by the ADCPro plug-in during first use - triggered when the BSL switch (SW4) is set to the left position. Once installed, the firmware resides in flash memory and persists across reboots; subsequent connections do not require re-flashing unless updated manually via ADCPro's update tools.
