Product details
Overview
ADS1118QDGSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) automotive-qualified, 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with integrated PGA, internal voltage reference, oscillator, and high-accuracy temperature sensor. It supports four single-ended or two differential inputs, programmable data rates from 8 SPS to 860 SPS, and operates from 2 V to 5.5 V supply - enabling precision thermocouple and RTD measurements in battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1118QDGSRQ1 datasheet, ADS1118QDGSRQ1 pinout, ADS1118QDGSRQ1 application, or ADS1118QDGSRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SPI interface, on-chip cold-junction compensation capability, ±2°C max temperature sensor error, single-shot power-down mode (150 µA active, 0.5–2 µA standby), and VSSOP-10 package compatibility with space-constrained automotive sensor nodes.
Technical Context
The ADS1118QDGSRQ1 implements a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADC core with digital filtering, oversampling ratio (OSR) scaling, and single-cycle settling. Its internal PGA provides programmable gain (±0.256 V to ±6.144 V FSR), while the integrated oscillator eliminates external clock components.
It operates in two functional modes: continuous-conversion (fixed data rate up to 860 SPS) and single-shot (auto power-down after conversion). The device uses a 16-bit serial peripheral interface (SPI) with CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/DRDY signals, supporting daisy-chain configurations and DRDY-driven interrupt timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit no-missing-codes - ensures full dynamic range utilization for high-fidelity sensor digitization without code gaps. |
| Data Rate | 8–860 SPS programmable - balances noise performance (lower rate = lower RMS noise) and real-time responsiveness in closed-loop systems. |
| Input Configuration | 4 single-ended or 2 differential channels via internal mux - enables flexible signal routing without external switching components. |
| PGA Full-Scale Range | ±0.256 V to ±6.144 V - accommodates both microvolt-level thermocouple outputs and volt-level industrial sensors. |
| Temperature Sensor Accuracy | ±2°C over –40°C to +125°C - provides reliable cold-junction compensation for K-type thermocouples without external sensing. |
| Supply Current | 150 µA (continuous), 0.5–2 µA (power-down) - extends battery life in always-on automotive monitoring applications. |
| Operating Voltage | 2 V to 5.5 V - interfaces directly with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers and survives automotive load-dump transients. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-10 package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm), thin profile, leaded surface-mount - compatible with standard reflow processes and high-density PCB layouts in automotive ECUs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK | Digital input | Serial clock input for SPI communication; low pulse >30.8 ms resets interface state machine. |
| CS | Digital input | Active-low chip select; can be permanently tied to GND if SPI bus is dedicated to this device. |
| GND | Supply return | Analog and digital ground reference; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into ADC core. |
| AIN0–AIN3 | Analog inputs | Multiplexed inputs supporting single-ended (vs GND) or differential (e.g., AIN0–AIN1) measurement; internal switch connects negative input to GND in SE mode. |
| VDD | Power supply | 2–5.5 V main supply; requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin per layout guidelines. |
| DOUT/DRDY | Digital output | Combined data-ready flag and serial data output; active-low DRDY indicates conversion completion and enables interrupt-driven firmware polling. |
| DIN | Digital input | Serial data input for configuration register writes and command transmission; synchronized to SCLK falling edge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated temperature sensor | ±2°C accuracy over full automotive range - enables self-contained cold-junction compensation for thermocouple interfaces without external ICs or calibration. |
| Internal voltage reference | Low-drift on-chip reference - eliminates need for external precision reference and reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Programmable gain amplifier (PGA) | Gain settings from 2/3× to 16× - allows direct digitization of low-amplitude sensor outputs (e.g., 40 µV/°C thermocouples) without external op-amp stages. |
| Single-shot conversion mode | Auto power-down after conversion - reduces average current to sub-µA levels during idle periods in duty-cycled sensor systems. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C operation - meets automotive reliability requirements for under-hood and cabin-mounted sensor modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog-to-digital conversion applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115QDGSRQ1 | I²C interface instead of SPI; no integrated temperature sensor; same 16-bit resolution and PGA. | Lacks on-die cold-junction compensation; requires external temperature sensing for thermocouple use. | Select when I²C bus availability and reduced pin count outweigh need for integrated temperature sensing. |
| ADS1018QDGSRQ1 | 12-bit resolution; higher 3300 SPS max data rate; identical package, PGA, and temperature sensor. | Lower resolution limits dynamic range for low-noise RTD or strain gauge applications requiring >14 ENOB. | Select when higher speed is critical and 12-bit precision suffices - e.g., fast-response pressure transients without post-processing averaging. |
Compared with ADS1115QDGSRQ1 and ADS1018QDGSRQ1, the ADS1118QDGSRQ1 uniquely combines SPI interface, 16-bit resolution, and integrated ±2°C temperature sensor - making it the only option among the three that delivers complete thermocouple signal chain integration in a single VSSOP-10 package.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ADS1118QDGSRQ1?
The ADS1118QDGSRQ1 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 with a specified operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This rating is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including INL, offset drift, and temperature sensor accuracy, ensuring robust performance in under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive applications where thermal stress is severe.
Does the ADS1118QDGSRQ1 require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the ADS1118QDGSRQ1 integrates a precision internal oscillator, eliminating the need for external timing components. This reduces BOM cost and PCB footprint while maintaining stable conversion timing across temperature and supply voltage variations - a key advantage for automotive designs where component count and reliability are critical.
How does the ADS1118QDGSRQ1 support cold-junction compensation for thermocouples?
The ADS1118QDGSRQ1 includes a factory-calibrated, high-accuracy on-die temperature sensor with ±2°C error over –40°C to +125°C. When measuring a K-type thermocouple differentially (e.g., AIN0–AIN1), the device simultaneously acquires the thermocouple voltage and local junction temperature - enabling real-time cold-junction compensation in firmware without external sensors or lookup tables.
What is the maximum data rate and corresponding noise performance of the ADS1118QDGSRQ1?
The ADS1118QDGSRQ1 supports a maximum data rate of 860 SPS. At this rate with ±0.256 V FSR, input-referred RMS noise is 7.81 µVRMS (35.83 µVPP), yielding ~13.8 noise-free bits. Lowering the data rate to 8 SPS reduces RMS noise to 7.81 µVRMS across all FSRs and achieves full 16-bit noise-free resolution - ideal for high-precision static measurements.
Can the ADS1118QDGSRQ1 operate from a 2.0 V supply?
Yes, the ADS1118QDGSRQ1 is fully specified for operation from 2.0 V to 5.5 V. At 2.0 V supply, it maintains 16-bit resolution, 8–860 SPS programmability, and functional integrity of the PGA, temperature sensor, and SPI interface - enabling direct integration with low-voltage microcontrollers and energy-harvesting subsystems in automotive body electronics.
