ADS1115 I2C 16-Bit Analog-to-Digital Module COM51

Description

The ADS1115 is a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module commonly used with microcontrollers and single-board computers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others. It communicates via the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol, making it easy to integrate into various projects.

Here’s a brief overview of its key features and functionality:

1. Resolution: The ADS1115 offers 16-bit resolution, allowing for precise analog-to-digital conversion.
2. Input Channels: It typically provides four analog input channels, which can be used to measure voltage signals from external sensors or devices.
3. Programmable Gain Amplifier: The module includes a programmable gain amplifier that allows you to adjust the gain to suit the range of your input signals.
4. Data Rate: It supports selectable data rates ranging from 8 to 860 samples per second (SPS), enabling you to balance between resolution and sampling speed based on your application requirements.
5. Alert Function: The ADS1115 has an alert function that can be programmed to generate an interrupt on the microcontroller when the converted data meets certain conditions (e.g., exceeds a predefined threshold), allowing for real-time monitoring and control.
6. Low Power Consumption: It’s designed for low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
7. Small Form Factor: The module typically comes in a compact form factor, facilitating easy integration into projects with space constraints.
8. Compatibility: Since it communicates via the I2C protocol, it’s compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and single-board computers that support I2C communication.
