ADS1118: Four channels with J-type thermocouple temperature

Part Number: ADS1118
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIPD109, ADS114S08

Tool/software:

Hi team,

we check some E2E thread about the ADS1118 use case of hot electric puppet . like TIPD109 for one channel with K-type.

Now customer have 4channels J-type demand, would you help to share how we can use one ADS1118 to detect 4channels? any Mux is recommended?

tks for the promotion here.

Hi Allen,

To read 4 different thermocouples, you would need to use 2 separate ADS1118's, or use an external MUX to interface them to a single ADS1118.

Alternatively, you could use a different device such as ADS114S08 which has a higher input pin count to allow for more channels to read 4 thermocouples with a single device.

Best Regards,

Angel

Hi Angel,

tks for the comments, as i check ,do you agree with such logic for the 4 channel with 1 ADS1118?
