While browsing for low cost EVBs, I noticed that some of the ADS1115 (4-channel 16-bit delta-sigma i2c adc) are being fitted with an IC marked ADX111A.
Which turns out to be at least on paper nearly identically to the ADS1115.

I'm not against competition. But the dark/dangerous side is when someone laser marks the chip as being TI's part, and sells it as a genuine TI part, when it most certainly isn't.
Glass half-full, glass half-empty....
