Product details
Overview
ADS1115QDGSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) automotive-qualified, 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with integrated PGA, voltage reference, oscillator, and I²C interface. It supports up to 860 SPS, 4 single-ended or 2 differential inputs, and programmable comparator functionality - enabling precise sensor monitoring in space-constrained automotive displays and camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 datasheet, ADS1115QDGSRQ1 pinout, ADS1115QDGSRQ1 application, or ADS1115QDGSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±0.256 V to ±6.144 V programmable input range, 150 µA operating current, single-cycle settling, internal reference stability, and dual-package availability (VSSOP-10 and UQFN-10) for layout flexibility in safety-critical automotive systems.
Technical Context
The ADS1115QDGSRQ1 implements a delta-sigma modulation architecture with digital filtering, delivering 16-bit no-missing-codes resolution and single-cycle settling. Its integrated PGA provides eight programmable gain settings (1–16), enabling high-precision measurement of both microvolt-level and rail-to-rail analog signals without external amplification.
It features a dedicated ALERT/RDY pin for comparator-driven event notification and supports four I²C slave addresses via ADDR pin configuration. The device operates across 2.0 V–5.5 V supply, maintains CMRR ≥90 dB (up to ±6.144 V FSR), and achieves INL ≤±1 LSB at 8 SPS - all verified over full automotive temperature range.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ADDR | I²C address select | Determines one of four slave addresses (0x48–0x4B); pulled high/low or left floating for default address. |
| ALERT/RDY | Digital output (open-drain) | Signals conversion completion or comparator threshold breach; requires external pull-up for I²C bus compatibility. |
| GND | Analog ground | Reference return for analog inputs and internal reference; must be separated from digital ground in mixed-signal layouts. |

| VDD | Power supply | 2.0 V–5.5 V analog/digital supply; requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin. |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Accepts up to 3.4 MHz (high-speed mode); requires external pull-up resistor per I²C bus specifications. |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O supporting standard/fast/high-speed I²C protocols; shares pull-up with SCL on same bus segment. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit automotive ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1114QDGSRQ1 | Single-input (1 SE / 1 DE), identical PGA, comparator, and specs - lacks AIN2/AIN3 channels and MUX. | Suitable only for single-sensor monitoring; cannot replace ADS1115QDGSRQ1 in multi-channel designs without layout change. | Select when cost optimization is prioritized and only one analog source requires digitization with comparator alerting. |
| ADS1118QDGSRQ1 | Same 16-bit resolution and 860 SPS, but uses SPI interface and integrates onboard temperature sensor - no I²C or ALERT/RDY pin. | Requires SPI-capable MCU and different firmware stack; temperature sensing adds value in thermal management but removes I²C simplicity. | Choose for systems needing on-die temperature measurement alongside voltage monitoring and where SPI infrastructure already exists. |
Compared with ADS1114QDGSRQ1 and ADS1118QDGSRQ1, the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 uniquely combines quad analog inputs, I²C compatibility, and comparator-driven interrupt signaling - making it optimal for compact, multi-sensor automotive displays requiring minimal MCU overhead and board space.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS1115QDGSRQ1?
The ADS1115QDGSRQ1 supports a maximum sampling rate of 860 samples per second (SPS) in continuous-conversion mode. This rate is achievable across all programmable gain settings and full-scale input ranges. At lower data rates (e.g., 8 SPS), the device delivers improved noise performance and higher effective resolution - up to 16 bits noise-free at 8 SPS with ±0.256 V FSR. The ADS1115QDGSRQ1 maintains single-cycle settling across all rates, ensuring deterministic timing for real-time automotive applications.
Does the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 require external components for basic operation?
No, the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 operates autonomously with only a 0.1 µF VDD decoupling capacitor and external pull-up resistors on SDA/SCL/ALERT/RDY lines. It integrates a precision voltage reference, oscillator, PGA, and digital comparator - eliminating the need for external op-amps, references, clocks, or discrete comparators. The ADDR pin allows I²C address selection without additional logic, and the internal MUX supports 4 single-ended inputs without external switching circuitry. This integration reduces total solution size and improves reliability in automotive environments.
How does the programmable gain amplifier (PGA) in the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 improve measurement accuracy?
The PGA in the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 provides eight selectable gain settings (1× to 16×), enabling direct digitization of low-amplitude sensor signals (e.g., thermocouples, bridge sensors) while maximizing ADC dynamic range usage. For example, with ±0.256 V FSR at 16× gain, the device resolves 7.81 µV per LSB - significantly enhancing small-signal SNR without external amplification. Gain selection is register-controlled and fully characterized over temperature, with gain drift as low as 5 ppm/°C at ±2.048 V FSR - ensuring stable accuracy across the full –40°C to +125°C automotive operating range.
Can the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 be used in functional safety–compliant systems?
Yes, the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 is functional safety-capable with documentation available to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system design. It meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements (–40°C to +125°C), includes built-in diagnostics such as CRC error detection on I²C reads, and supports safe failure modes via configurable ALERT/RDY behavior. Its integrated comparator enables autonomous over/under-voltage detection without MCU involvement - reducing software complexity in safety-critical paths. Texas Instruments provides FIT rate data, FMEDA reports, and safety manuals specifically for the ADS1115QDGSRQ1 to aid safety analysis.
What package options are available for the ADS1115QDGSRQ1, and how do they differ thermally?
The ADS1115QDGSRQ1 is offered in two AEC-Q200-qualified packages: DGS (10-pin VSSOP, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm) and NKS (10-pin UQFN, 1.6 mm × 2.0 mm). Thermally, the NKS package provides superior junction-to-ambient performance with RθJA = 126.3°C/W versus 170.9°C/W for DGS - enabling higher power density in compact automotive modules. Both packages share identical pinout, electrical specs, and qualification status, allowing drop-in replacement based on board space and thermal constraints without redesigning the analog signal path.
