ADS1115EVM (Left) and ADS1115EVM-PDK (Right)

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1015EVM and

ADS1115EVM, both by themselves and as part of the ADS1015EVM-PDK or ADS1115EVM-PDK. These

evaluation modules (EVMs) are evaluation boards for the ADS1115, a 16-bit multi-channel, delta-sigma

analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and the ADS1015, a 12-bit version of the ADS1115. The EVM allows

evaluation of all aspects of the ADS1015 or ADS1115 device. Complete circuit descriptions, schematic

diagrams, and bills of material are included in this document.

EVM Overview

1 EVM Overview

1.1 Features

ADS1015EVM/ADS1115EVM Features:

•Contains all support circuitry needed for the ADS1015/ADS1115

•Two ADS1015/ADS1115 devices onboard to demonstrate I2C™bus functionality

•+3.3, +5V, or external power supply options for ADC

•Compatible with the TI Modular EVM System

ADS1015EVM-PDK/ADS1115EVM-PDK Features:

•Easy-to-use evaluation software for Microsoft®Windows®XP

•Data collection to text files

•Built-in analysis tools including scope, FFT, and histogram displays

•Complete control of board settings

•Easily expandable with new analysis plug-in tools from Texas Instruments

For use with a computer, the ADS1015EVM-PDK or ADS1115EVM-PDK is available. This kit combines

the ADS1015/ADS1115EVM board with the MSP430-based MMB3 motherboard, and includes ADCPro™

software for evaluation.

The MMB3 motherboard allows the ADS1015/ADS1115EVM to be connected to the computer via an

available USB port. This manual shows how to use the MMB3 as part of the

ADS1015EVM-PDK/ADS1115EVM-PDK, but does not provide technical details about the MMB3 itself.

ADCPro is a program for collecting, recording, and analyzing data from ADC evaluation boards. It is based

on a number of plug-in programs, so it can be expanded easily with new test and data collection plug-ins.

The ADS1015EVM-PDK/ADS1115EVM-PDK is controlled by a plug-in running in ADCPro. For more

information about ADCPro, see the ADCPro™Analog-to-Digital Converter Evalutation Software User's

Guide (literature number SBAU128), available for download from the TI web site.

This manual covers the operation of both the ADS1015/ADS1115EVM and the

ADS1015EVM-PDK/ADS1115EVM-PDK. Throughout this document, the abbreviation EVM and the term

evaluation module are synonymous with the ADS1015/ADS1115EVM. For clarity of reading, the rest of

this manual will refer only to the ADS1115EVM or ADS1115EVM-PDK, but operation of the EVM and kit

for the ADS1015 is identical, unless otherwise noted.

1.2 Introduction

The ADS1115EVM is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM System specification. It can be

connected to any modular EVM system interface card.

The ADS1115EVM is available as a stand-alone printed circuit board (PCB) or as part of the

ADS1115EVM-PDK, which includes an MMB3 motherboard and software. As a stand-alone PCB, the

ADS1115EVM is useful for prototyping designs and firmware.

Note that the ADS1115EVM has no microprocessor and cannot run software. To connect it to a computer,

some type of interface is required.

2 Analog Interface

For maximum flexibility, the ADS1115EVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources.

Samtec part numbers SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient 10-pin,

dual-row, header/socket combination at J1. This header/socket provides access to the analog input pins of

the ADS1115. Consult Samtec at http://www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating

connector options.

All of the pins on J1 are connected directly to the ADS1115 device input pins, with no protection. Use

appropriate caution when handling these pins. Table 1 summarizes the pinouts for the analog interface J1.

3 Digital Interface

3.1 Serial Data Interface

The ADS1115EVM is designed to easily interface with multiple control platforms. Samtec part numbers

SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient 10-pin, dual-row, header/socket

combination at J3. This header/socket provides access to the digital control and serial data pins of the

ADC. Consult Samtec at http://www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating

connector options.

All logic levels on J3 are 3.3V CMOS, except for the I2C pins. These pins conform to 3.3V I2C rules.

ADS1115EVM-PDK Kit Operation

6.1 Installing the ADCPro Software

CAUTION

Do not connect the ADS1115EVM-PDK before installing the software on a

suitable PC. Failure to observe this caution may cause Microsoft Windows to

not recognize the ADS1115EVM-PDK as a connected device.

The latest software is available from the TI website at http://www.ti.com. Refer to the ADCPro User Guide

for instructions on installing and using ADCPro.

To install the ADS1115EVM-PDK plug-in, run the file: ads1115evm-pdk-plug-in-1.0.0.exe (1.0.0 is the

version number, and increments with software version releases). Double-click the file to run it; then follow

the instructions shown. You can also use the ADCPro Update Check feature to check for newer versions

of the ADS1115EVM-PDK plug-in, once you have installed a version of it.

Follow the on-screen prompts. Once the ADCPro plug-in installs, you will be prompted to install the Virtual

COM port driver as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Virtual COM Port Installer

Press OK, and the screen shown in Figure 3 displays.

Figure 3. Virtual COM Port Setup

If you already have a TUSB3410 Virtual COM port driver installed on your system, select Cancel;

otherwise, press Setup and follow the on-screen prompts. You may be notified that the driver is not

digitally signed. If this occurs, select Continue Anyway and proceed.

6.2.1 About the MMB3

The MMB3 is a Modular EVM System motherboard. It is designed around the MSP430F449, a low-power

microcontroller from Texas Instruments. Figure 6 shows a block diagram of the MMB3.

Figure 6. MMB3 Block Diagram

The MMB3 was designed to be used as a stand-alone demonstration platform for low-speed data

converters. It features an onboard, 20-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can be used as a signal

source for an ADC under test, and has a joystick for control of functions on the board when it is not

controlled by a PC. These features are experimental and not supported in the ADS1115EVM-PDK at

this time.

The MMB3 derives power from the USB interface, and generates +5VD, 3.3V, and 1.8V, as well as +5VA

and –5VA and ±10V. The ±10V is supplied to the daughtercard power connector as +VA and –VA.

CAUTION

When using the ADS1115EVM connected to the MMB3, do not move switch S1

to the +VA position. This switch position will apply +10V to the devices on the

EVM and damage the EVM.

The MMB3 is not sold as a microcontroller development board, and it is not available separately. TI cannot

offer support for the MMB3 except as part of an EVM kit. For schematics or other information about the

MMB3, contact Texas Instruments.
