DESCRIPTION
The WM8234 is a 16-bit analogue front end/digitiser IC which processes and digitises the analogue output signals from CCD sensors or Contact Image Sensors (CIS) at pixel sample rates of up to 23MSPS.
The device has six analogue signal processing channels each of which contains Reset Level Clamping, Correlated Double Sampling (also Sample and Hold), Programmable Gain, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Offset adjust functions.
The output from each of these channels is time multiplexed, in pairs, into two high-speed 16-bit Analogue to Digital Converters. The digital data is available in a variety of output formats via the flexible data port.
The WM8234 has a user selectable LVDS or CMOS output architecture.
