APPLICATION INFORMATION
DRIVING THE ANALOGUE INPUT
The WM2148 has a fully differential input. This is advantageous for signal to noise ratio, spurious
free dynamic range, and harmonic distortion. It is recommended that the analogue input pins IN+ and
IN- are connected as shown in Figure 12 below.

Figure 12 Recommended Input Configuration
In this configuration, the ADC converts the difference ¨9IN of the two input signals VIN+ and VINí. The
resistors and capacitors on the inputs decouple the driving source output from the ADC and also
serve as first order low pass filters to reduce out of band noise.
The input range on both inputs is 0V to AVDD. The full-scale value is determined by the voltage
reference. The positive full-scale output is reached when ¨9IN equals ¨9REF, and the negative full-
scale output is reached when ¨9IN equals -¨9REF.

The digital outputs of the WM2148 are 3V CMOS compatible. In order to avoid current feedback
errors, the capacitive load on these outputs should be as low as possible (maximum 15pF). Adding
100Ω series resistors on the digital outputs cam improve system performance by limiting the current
during output transitions (this reduces noise on the power supplies).
