ADS1118 Information
www.ti.com

ADS1118 Information
The ADS1118 is a precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This device features an onboard reference
and oscillator, as well as 16 bits of resolution. The ADS1118 can perform up to 860 samples per second
(SPS) and has an onboard programmable gain amplifier (PGA) that allows input ranges from ±256 mV to
±6.144 V. This device also contains an input multiplexer that allows each input to be used with reference
to ground, or as two differential inputs. The ADS1118 datasheet (SBAS457) contains all relevant analog
and digital electrical information pertaining to the device. This booster pack demonstrates how an MSP430
and ADS1118 can be integrated into one system.
2.1
Type K Thermocouple
A thermocouple consists of two conductors of different materials that produce a voltage in the vicinity of
the point where the two conductors are in contact. The voltage produced depends on, but is not
necessarily proportional to, the difference of temperature of the junction to other parts of those
conductors. Thermocouples require a stable voltage reference and some form of ice point or cold junction
compensation. The integration of an internal voltage reference, multiplexer, and temperature sensor make
the ADS1118 an ideal option for thermocouple measurements. Type K is the most common generalpurpose thermocouple with a sensitivity of approximately 41 µV/°C. A type K thermocouple is inexpensive,
and a wide variety of probes are available in the −200°C to +1250°C (–330°F to +2460°F) range. For
more information about thermocouple measurement with the ADS1118, see Application Report SBAA189,
Precision Thermocouple Measurement with the ADS1118.

Rebuild Software Project
This software package includes project files that allow customers to recompile the code for user
development. These project files are located inside the 430BOOST-ADS1118-SFT-A.zip source folder.
The source code was developed and compiled using Code Composer Studio™ (CCStudio), version 5.3.
CCStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Texas Instruments embedded processor
families. CCStudio information is available online at http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio. The software package
is available for download at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS.
The default sample rate of the ADS1118 is 128 SPS. However, if the sample rate must be changed, then
the ADC_CON definition inside the ADS1118.h file must be changed, then recompiled, and then the
firmware redownload. The following code shows two examples of the CH0 and CH1 configurations:
//Set the configuration to AIN0/AIN1, FS=+/-0.256mV, SS, DR=128sps, PULLUP on DOUT
#define ADSCON_CH0
(0x8B8A)
//Set the configuration to AIN2/AIN3, FS=+/-0.256mV, SS, DR=128sps, PULLUP on DOUT
#define ADSCON_CH1

6.3
UART Communication
UART communication functions are defined in the software project but are not called in the demo project.
Use the UART to transmit data from the Launchpad to the PC. There are two files (UART_TxRx.h and
UART_TxRx.c) that are relative to UART communication. Two functions can be used to transmit character
and string data from the LauchPad to the PC. These two functions are defined in UART_TxRx.h.
void uart_txc(char c);
// transmit a character by LauchPad UART
void uart_txstr(char *c);
// transmit a sring by LauchPad UART
These functions can be added in the project, and then rebuilt.
