Figure 1 System Diagram
The WM8143-12 signal processing IC interfaces
typically via buffering and AC coupling to the output of
CCD image sensors. The WM8143-12 also interfaces
to CIS image sensors via DC coupling.
Analogue output signals from the image sensor are
sampled, amplified and offset-corrected by the IC
before being converted into digital form by an on-board
high-speed 12-bit resolution analogue to digital
converter. Figure 1 illustrates a typical system
implementation where the three colour outputs from the
CCD image sensor are buffered and AC coupled to the
analogue inputs of the WM8143-12.
The digital interface to the WM8143-12 can be divided
into three distinct sections: -
• Parallel Data I/O
• Digital Control/Serial Timing
• Analogue Interface Timing
These sections are constructed for ease of use by the
system designer and are described in detail on the
following pages of this datasheet.
