A pin-compatible replacement with identical key parameters, differing only by reel quantity.
The Texas Instruments ADS1115IDGSR is a precision, low-power, 16-bit ADC with an I2C interface in a compact VSSOP-10 package. It is widely used for high-resolution measurement in a variety of applications.
Switching to a part like ADS1118 (SPI) from the target's I2C requires complete firmware driver changes.
Using a lower-resolution part like ADS1015IDGSR (12-bit) will reduce measurement precision.
Multiple candidates share the same VSSOP-10 package, making physical replacement straightforward for compatible parts.
Direct replacement for ADS1115IDGSR should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Start with Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates for ADS1115IDGSR, then review parametric alternatives for package and electrical fit.
The main risk is selecting a part from the same family with a different interface (e.g., SPI) or lower resolution (e.g., 12-bit), which would require redesign or compromise performance.
