ADS1015 (I2C)

This device is a 12-bit A-D converter with 4 inputs.

The inputs can be used single ended or in certain differential combinations.

For configuration all possible combinations are mapped to 8 channels:
0: Voltage over AIN0 and AIN1.
1: Voltage over AIN0 and AIN3.
2: Voltage over AIN1 and AIN3.
3: Voltage over AIN2 and AIN3.
4: Voltage over AIN0 and GND.
5: Voltage over AIN1 and GND.
6: Voltage over AIN2 and GND.
7: Voltage over AIN3 and GND.

Each channel can be configured individually:

  • pga is the programmable gain amplifier (values are full scale)
    0: +/- 6.144 V
    1: +/- 4.096 V
    2: +/- 2.048 V (default)
    3: +/- 1.024 V
    4: +/- 0.512 V
    5: +/- 0.256 V
  • data_rate in samples per second
    0: 128
    1: 250
    2: 490
    3: 920
    4: 1600 (default)
    5: 2400
    6: 3300
  1. The /ads1015 node

    Required properties:

    • compatible : must be “ti,ads1015”
    • reg : I2C bus address of the device
    • #address-cells : must be <1>
    • #size-cells : must be <0>

    The node contains child nodes for each channel that the platform uses.

    Example ADS1015 node:

    ads1015@49 {

     compatible = "ti,ads1015";
     reg = <0x49>;
     #address-cells = <1>;
     #size-cells = <0>;
    
     [ child node definitions... ]
    

    }

  2. channel nodes

    Required properties:

    • reg : the channel number

    Optional properties:

    • ti,gain : the programmable gain amplifier setting
    • ti,datarate : the converter data rate

    Example ADS1015 channel node:

    channel@4 {

     reg = <4>;
     ti,gain = <3>;
     ti,datarate = <5>;
    

    };
