DEVICE DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The WM2152 (see Block Digram on Page 1) consists of:
• Programmable gain amplifier (PGA) including high bandwidth sample-and-hold. This is
configured using control pins CON0, CON1.
• 12-bit, 30MSPS pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) core
• On-chip generation of the ADC references VRT and VRB (or external references can
be applied to these pins if EXTREF is set high)
• 12-bit parallel digital output, with separate supplies DVDD, DGND.
• Out-of-range output pin OVRNG goes high when the input signal exceeds the
converter’s range (positive or negative)
• The digital outputs, including OVRNG, are all set high-impedance if OEB is driven low.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
The device is typically configured by tying pins CON0, CON1, and EXTREF high or low.
• There are no pull-offs on these inputs, so they must not be left floating.
• These inputs have protection diodes and input buffers connected to AVDD and AGND,
so they should be tied to AVDD or AGND, not DVDD or DGND.
INTERNAL/EXTERNAL REFERENCES
Pin EXTREF controls whether the ADC voltage references are generated internally, or whether these
are supplied externally (for applications where common or high precision references are required)

Single Ended Mode / Differential Mode x1
Differential Mode x0.5
Single Ended Mode with Offset
Figure 6 illustrates the input signal ranges obtainable.
(a) Mode1 - single-ended input: VINM is held constant, VINP acts as a single-ended input with
zero-scale VINM-1V and full-scale VINM+1V. (Note VINP could be held constant and VINM
used as the input with zero-scale VINP+1V, full-scale VINP-1V).
(b) Mode 1 - differential: complementary inputs are applied to VINM and VINP. Zero scale when
VINP-VINM=-1V, full-scale when VINP+VINM=+1V.
(c) Mode 2 - differential mode x 0.5: as (b), but the PGA gain is reduced, so zero scale is now
wVINP-VINM=-2V, full-scale when VINP+VINM=+2V.
(d) Mode 3 - single-ended with offset: In mode 3 an offset is applied within the PGA, so now zero
scale is VINP=VINM, full-scale is when VINP=VIMN+1V. In this example, VINM is held
constant and VINP swings 1V. This mode is useful for positive-going video signals, for
example.
