DEVICE DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
A block diagram of the device showing the signal path is presented on Page 1.
The WM8255 processes the sampled video signal on VINP with respect to the video-reset level or an
internally/externally generated reference level through the analogue-processing channel.
This processing channel consists of an Input Sampling block with optional Reset Level Clamping
(RLC) and Correlated Double Sampling (CDS), an 8-bit programmable offset DAC and an 8-bit
Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA).
The ADC then converts each resulting analogue signal to a 16-bit digital word. The digital output from
the ADC is presented on a 4-bit wide bus.
On-chip control registers determine the configuration of the device, including the offsets and gains
applied to each channel. These registers are programmable via a serial interface.
The device can control the brightness and timing of the Red, Green and Blue LEDs used in a CIS
sensor. This is controlled via the serial control interface and external timing pins.
INPUT SAMPLING
The WM8255 has a single analogue processing channel and ADC, which can be used in a flexible
manner to process both monochrome and line-by-line colour inputs.
Monochrome: The selected input (VINP) is sampled, processed by the analogue channel, and
converted by the ADC. The same offset DAC and PGA register values are always applied.
Colour Line-by-Line: VINP is sampled and processed by the analogue channel before being
converted by the ADC. The gains and offset register values applied to the PGA and offset DAC can
be switched between the independent Red, Green and Blue digital registers (e.g. Red  Green
Blue  Red…) at the start of each line in order to facilitate line-by-line colour operation. The
INTM[1:0] bits determine which register contents are applied (see Table 1) to the PGA and offset
DAC. By using the INTM[1:0] bits to select the desired register values only one register write is
required at the start of each new colour line.
RESET LEVEL CLAMPING (RLC)
To ensure that the signal applied to the WM8255 VINP pin lies within the valid input range (0V to
AVDD) the CCD output signal is usually level shifted by coupling through a capacitor, CIN. When
active, the RLC circuit clamps the WM8255 side of this capacitor to a suitable voltage during the CCD
reset period. The RLCINT register bit controls is used to activate the Reset Level Clamp circuit.
A typical input configuration is shown in Figure 5. The Timing Control Block generates a clamp pulse,
CL, from MCLK and VSMP (when RLCINT is high). When CL is active the voltage on the WM8255
side of CIN, at VINP, is forced to the VRLC/VBIAS voltage (VVRLC) by switch 1. When the CL pulse
turns off, the voltage at VINP initially remains at VVRLC but any subsequent variation in sensor voltage
(from reset to video level) will couple through CIN to VINP.
RLC is compatible with both CDS and non-CDS operating modes, as selected by switch 2. Refer to
the CDS/non-CDS Processing section.

Reset Level Clamping is controlled by register bit RLCINT. Figure 6 illustrates the effect of the
RLCINT bit for a typical CCD waveform, with CL applied during the reset period.
The RLCINT register bit is sampled on the positive edge of MCLK that occurs during each VSMP
pulse. The sampled level, high (or low) controls the presence (or absence) of the internal CL pulse on
the next reset level. The position of CL can be adjusted by using control bits CDSREF[1:0]

The VRLC/VBIAS pin can be driven internally by a 4-bit DAC (RLCDAC) by writing to control bits
RLCV[3:0]. The RLCDAC range and step size may be increased by writing to control bit
RLCDACRNG. Alternatively, the VRLC/VBIAS pin can be driven externally by writing to control bit
VRLCEXT to disable the RLCDAC and then applying a d.c. voltage to the pin.
CDS/NON-CDS PROCESSING
For CCD type input signals, the signal may be processed using CDS, which will remove pixel-by-pixel
common mode noise. For CDS operation, the video level is processed with respect to the video reset
level, regardless of whether RLC has been performed. To sample using CDS, control bit CDS must
be set to 1 (default), this controls switch 2 (Figure 5) and causes the signal reference to come from
the video reset level. The time at which the reset level is sampled, by clock Rs/CL, is adjustable by
programming control bits CDSREF[1:0].

For CIS type sensor signals, non-CDS processing is used. In this case, the video level is processed
with respect to the voltage on pin VRLC/VBIAS, generated internally or externally as described above.
The VRLC/VBIAS pin is sampled by Rs at the same time as Vs samples the video level in this mode.
OFFSET ADJUST AND PROGRAMMABLE GAIN
The output from the CDS block is a differential signal, which is added to the output of an 8-bit Offset
DAC to compensate for offsets and then amplified by an 8-bit PGA. The gain and offset can be set for
each of three colours by writing to control bits DACx[7:0] and PGAx[7:0] (where x can be R, G or B).
In colour line-by-line mode the gain and offset coefficients that are applied to the PGA and offset DAC
can be multiplexed by control of the INTM[1:0] bits as shown in Table 1.

ADC INPUT BLACK LEVEL ADJUST
The output from the PGA should be offset to match the full-scale range of the ADC (VFS = 2.0V). For
negative-going input video signals, a black level (zero differential) output from the PGA should be
offset to the top of the ADC range by setting register bits PGAFS[1:0]=10. For positive going input
signal the black level should be offset to the bottom of the ADC range by setting PGAFS[1:0]=11.
Bipolar input video is accommodated by setting PGAFS[1:0]=00 or PGAFS[1:0]=01 (zero differential
input voltage gives mid-range ADC output).

Figure 10 Overall Signal Flow
The INPUT SAMPLING BLOCK produces an effective input voltage V1. For CDS, this is the
difference between the input video level VIN and the input reset level VRESET. For non-CDS this is the
difference between the input video level VIN and the voltage on the VRLC/VBIAS pin, VVRLC, optionally
set via the RLC DAC.
The OFFSET DAC BLOCK then adds the amount of fine offset adjustment required to move the
black level of the input signal towards 0V, producing V2.
The PGA BLOCK then amplifies the white level of the input signal to maximise the ADC range,
outputting voltage V3.
The ADC BLOCK then converts the analogue signal, V3, to a 16-bit unsigned digital output, D1.
The digital output is then inverted, if required, through the OUTPUT INVERT BLOCK to produce D2.
CALCULATING OUTPUT FOR ANY GIVEN INPUT
The following equations describe the processing of the video and reset level signals through
the WM8255.

If CDS = 1, (i.e. CDS operation) the previously sampled reset level, VRESET, is subtracted from the
input video.

If CDS = 0, (non-CDS operation) the simultaneously sampled voltage on pin VRLC is subtracted
instead.

If VRLCEXT = 1, VVRLC is an externally applied voltage on pin VRLC/VBIAS.

LED CURRENT DRIVE CONTROL
The WM8255 allows the user to control:

the sequence of illumination

the period of illumination

the intensity of illumination
of the red, blue and green LEDs used to illuminate the image during a scan.
A sequence state machine is used to progress the sequence and control the duration of the LED
selection. The progression of the sequence state machine is dependent on whether the WM8255 is in
colour mode or monochromatic mode. The intensity of illumination is controlled on either control of the
LED drive current or pulsing of the LED driving current.
LED CURRENT DRIVE SEQUENCE CONTROL
With reference to Figure 12, the WM8255 uses a LED sequence state machine to control the
sequence and duration of the illumination of the red, green and blue LEDs.
The LED sequence state machine can progress through up to 4 states each sequence. Each of the
sequence states (STATE_0 to STATE_3) may be set to one of four values to determine on whether a
red, green or blue LED is illuminated or all LEDs are off. The register STATERST will determine the
number of states the sequence state machine can progress through. Once the sequence state
machine has reached the reset state, the LED state machine will remain in this state until again
initiated.
LED CURRENT DRIVE SEQUENCE DEFINITION
Figure 13 illustrates the functionality of the sequence state mapping. The current state of the
sequence machine (SEQ_STATE) is an internal register used to select one of the four register state
mappings.
This register increments until the value specified by STATERST at which point the
sequence will hold. Figure 14 shows two examples when STATERST is set to “11bin” for a 4 state
sequence, and to “01bin” for a 2 state sequence.

LED CURRENT DRIVE SEQUENCE SYNCHRONISATION AND PROGRESSION
The trigger to progress the state machine through the sequence states is dependent on whether the
LED driver is operating in colour mode or monochrome mode.
COLOUR MODE
In Colour Mode operation, LEDSTART and TG are used to synchronise and progress the sequence
state machine. This allows a single LED change for each line scan.
With both LEDSTART and TG high, the sequence state machine is synchronously set to STATE_0 by
MCLK. With LEDSTART low and at the next high pulse of TG, the sequence state machine is
progressed to the next state, STATE_1, by MCLK. This is repeated until the maximum number of
states determined by STATERST has been reached. At this point the LED drive current will be
switched away from the selected LED. The sequence state machine will be held in this state until
restarted by LEDSTART and TG.
If at any time both TG and LEDSTART are high, the sequence is synchronously set back to STATE_0
by MCLK.

PD, Rev 4.7, August 2013

WM8255
Production Data
MONOCHROME (COMPOSITE) MODE
In Monochrome Mode, the progression between sequence states is triggered by the completion of the
previous sequence state. This allows a complete LED sequence change for each line scan.
With both TG and LEDSTART high, the sequence state machine is synchronously set to the
STATE_0 by MCLK. When the STATE_0 has reached the end of its enable period, the sequence
state machine is progressed to the next state by MCLK. This is repeated until the maximum number
of states determined by STATERST has been reached. At this point the LED drive current will be
switched away from the selected LEDs. The sequence state machine will be held in this state until
restarted by LEDSTART and TG.
If at any time both TG and LEDSTART are high, the sequence is synchronously set back to
STATE_0 by MCLK.
LED CURRENT DRIVE INTENSITY CONTROL
The LED current driver is programmable to allow the LED light intensity to be adjusted independent of
the LED light wavelength. Two methods are available for this:

The absolute LED current drive may be set using a programmable 8-bit current DAC.
The current DAC range for each of the LEDs may be adjusted to one of four ranges
using the register LEDIRNG.

The LED current drive may be pulsed using a pulse width modulated. The pulse width
modulated period is set using the register LEDPWMPER and on time using the
registers LEDPWMDCR, LEDPWMDCB and LEDPWMDCG.
Control of the absolute LED current drive and PWM modulation are independently programmable for
each of the red, green and blue LEDs using the register map. The signals LEDSTART, TG and MCLK
determine timing.
LED CURRENT DRIVE STATE TRANSITION AND PWM SWITCHING
The WM8255 is the combination of a LED current switching matrix and an AFE. With reference to
Figure 15, during a typical line scan the video signal of the previous line scan is digitised by the AFE
while the image of the current line scan is illuminated. To suppress any switching noise of the LED
switching matrix coupling into the AFE, care is taken while switching the current.
Two types of current switching are available in the WM8255, state transition switching and PWM
switching. State transition switching occurs when either a new LED is to be selected or the LED
current DAC has to be updated. PWM transition switching occurs when the illumination intensity is
controlled by pulsing the LED drive current. In colour mode, state transition switching should occur at
the start of a line scan. In mono mode, state transition switching can occur during the line scan. In
either colour mode or mono mode, PWM transition switching can occur during the line scan.

Figure 15 Relationship between Line Scan Illumination and Video Signal Readout
Two current switching techniques are used for state and PWM transition switching, slew rate
controlled current switching and current steering switching.
With reference to Figure 16, the LED drive current has three blocks, the LED current DAC, the LED
RGB matrix switch and a shunt current path switch.
With reference to Figure 16, for current slew rate controlled switching, the LED current DAC value is
reset from the current value to zero then set to an updated value. Slew rate limited current switch
may be partitioned into four operations:

Figure 16 Current Slew Rate Controlled Switching
1.
The red RGB switch is initially closed and the LED drive current will flow in the red diode
2.
The Red RGB switch will open and the shunt current path switch is closed. The LED drive
current will flow in the shunt current path. During this period the LED current DAC is reset
to zero then updated to the next value. No current will flow in any LEDs.
3.
The green RGB switch will be closed.
4.
The auxiliary current path switch will be opened and LED drive current will flow in the green
LED.
The finite time taken for a slew rate controlled current switch is the period necessary to change the
value of the LED current DAC. The slew rate of the current change is limited by the dynamic
performance of the LED current DAC. During this time the LED IDAC current will flow through the
shunt current path switch and no illumination will occur. This period of time is defined by blanking
period
MONO MODE REQUIREMENTS
During a slew rate limited current switch of the LED IDAC, the change of current flowing in the IDAC
will couple a minor disturbance into the AFE. In colour mode this disturbance is not an issue since the
state change switching will occur at the beginning of a line scan when no imaging is occurring. In
mono mode a red, blue and green state switching may occur during a line scan and couple correlated
switching noise into the signal path.
In mono mode to minimise switching noise into the signal path::

The blanking period must be disabled. In this mode during a state change, no slew rate limiting
switching will occur, Only the RGB switches will be switched. Table 3 defines the method to
disable blanking during a state transition.

LED CURRENT DRIVE CURRENT PWM CONTROL
During each sequence state, the LED control module can be pulsed by Pulse Width Modulating
(PWM) the LED current drive. For each sequence state, the PWM frequency, duty cycle, and number
of PWM cycles can be configured.
The PWM controller consists of two blocks; the MCLK divider and the PWM counter. The MCLK
divider divides the MCLK by an amount set by the register CLKDIV.
The divided MCLK is then used to clock the PWM counter. The PWM counter will increment until it
reaches its maximum count set by the register LEDPWMPER. At this point, the PWM counter will
reset to zero, then continue to increment. This will set the period of the PWM control.
As the PWM counter is incremented, its state is compared with the duty cycle setting, which is set by
the value in register LEDPWMDC. PWMCtrl is set while the counter value is smaller than the duty
cycle setting. When the counter is larger than or equal to the duty cycle, PWMCTRL is reset for the
rest of the PWM period. This will set the duty cycle of the PWM control.
The reset of the PWM counter will increment the LEDEnable counter. When the LEDEnable counter
has reached LEDENSTART, PWMEn is set high, which allows PWMCtrl to control the LED current
drive. The LEDEnable counter will continue to increment until it has reached LEDENSTOP. At this
point PWMEn is set low, which stops PWMCtrl from controlling the LED current drive. This will set the
number of cycles of the PWM control.
The PWM frequency is defined by LEDPWMPER and the divider CLKDIV. LEDPWMPER and
CLKDIV may be calculated as the nearest integral of the MCLK frequency divided by the PWM
frequency. If the maximum value of LEDPWMPER would reach its maximum before the desired
PWM period is achieved, CLKDIV should be incremented to scale LEDPWMPER correctly.
The PWM duty cycle is defined by LEDPWMDC and CLKDIV. For a chosen PWM frequency, an
integral number of PWM cycles for the period of TG may be calculated. The range of the PWM period
and the duty cycle can be up to (2^4 X 2^12) MCLK cycles.

WM8255
Production Data
There is an operational difference in monochrome mode in that LEDENSTART is only used in the first
state. In subsequent states the LED enable is always activated after the appropriate number of
blanking periods (LEDENSTOP is used in the same method as colour mode operation).
NON PWM MODE
The PWM functionality can be disabled and just the current DAC can be used. The duty cycle
LEDPWMDC register for each colour should be set to equal the duty cycle period register,
LEDPWMPER. The value of both these registers should be set to an appropriate value.
LED CURRENT DRIVE CURRENT BLANKING PERIOD
At the start of a LED sequence state transition the LED controller performs a blanking period. The
blanking period is a period of time reserved to switch to the next LED drive current state in the
sequence. In addition, during the blanking period the absolute LED drive current will be updated, a
Safe Operating Area (SOA) test may be performed and finally the next LED in the sequence will be
selected then driven. At completion of the blanking period, the PWM controller is enabled.
Figure 18 shows a basic blanking period during a state transition of switching the Red LED off, then
Green LED on.
The blanking period may be split into a sequence of five operations:
1.
The Red RGB switch will be switched off and any current forced to flow in the shunt current
path.
2.
The LED current DAC will be disabled. During this period, the current flow in the auxiliary
current path will tend to zero.
3.
The LED current DAC value will be updated to the value necessary to drive the Green LED.
During this time, the current flow in the auxiliary current path will tend to the updated LED
current DAC current.
4.
A SOA test will be performed on the updated LED current DAC current.
5.
The Green RGB switch will be switched on.
The transition from one state to the next takes the finite time defined by the period tblank.
With reference to Table 4, the basic blanking period may be optimised dependant on the mode of
operation.

DESCRIPTION
At a state transition, one blanking period will be used before the LED can be

LED DAC current will be changed and next LED in sequence shall be selected.
No Safe Operating Area test will be performed.

At a state transition, two blanking periods will be used before the LED can be
enabled.
During the first blanking period, should the LED DAC current exceed
LEDIMAX, ILIMITFLAG is set and the LED DAC current is reduced by the
percentage set by ILIMITDEC.
During the second blanking period, should the LED current exceed LEDIMAX,
ILIMITFLAG is set and the LED DAC current will be shutdown.
10
At a state transition, one blanking period will be used before the LED can be
enabled.
Should the LED current exceed LEDIMAX, ILIMITFLAG is set. The LED
current will not be reduced automatically. In this situation, the user should take
measures to protect the LED by reducing the LED current.

SETTING THE INITBLANK REGISTER
With reference to Figure 19, the period tBLANK is the initial blank period with no illumination. The initial
blank period time must be controlled by setting a value for a 9-bit register INITBLANK. Setting this
register will enable a counter that is clocked by MCLK to allow for the necessary minimum 25
microseconds. The last three LSBs are fixed to zero and only the 6 MSBs are adjustable.
The value needed for the register INITBLANK is calculated by :(tBLANK *0.8)/ MCLK period = INITBLANKdec.
decimal number.
This number should be rounded up to an integral
The binary equivalent of INITBLANKdec should be calculated and, making sure the last 3 LSBs are
zero, should be set in the register.
For example:MCLK = 24 Mhz
=> 41.6ns (tPER)
(tBLANK * 0.8) / tPER = (25s * 0.8) / 41.6ns = 480.77
The nearest integral number where the binary equivalent has zero values in the last 3 LSBs is 480.
480 = 111100000 bin. Therefore the 6 MSBs to be set to the register INITBLANK are:- 111100
By default INITBLANK is set to zero which sets the initial blank period to equal the PWM period/0.8
set by LEDPWMPER.
If ILIMITEN is set to ‘01’ then this blanking period will be doubled. Note that the INITBLANK register
value does not require a new value in this situation.

CURRENT ACCURACY AND ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM CURRENT LIMIT
To protect the LED when operated near its maximum operating current range, an accurate absolute
maximum current limit can be set.
An external resistor connected to the EXTRES pin must be provided to generate an accurate
reference current for the LED circuit. As the current DAC is designed for low compliance voltage, a
separate higher accuracy current detection circuit is provided.
At the start of every state change the Current DAC setting for that LED is measured (Red, Green or
Blue). If the state machine is at RED and the current, LEDIDACR, exceeds the absolute maximum
current limit, a register, LEDRFLAG will be set. If ILIMITEN is set to the appropriate mode, the current
will be automatically reduced and the current retested. Should this new current be within the safe
operating area the Red LED will be enabled. The LEDRFLAG register will remain set to indicate that
the reduction has been implemented.
The next time the state machine enters the RED state, the current value is measured again. If the
current, LEDIDACR is now an acceptable value (without a reduction) the LEDRFLAG will reset. This
is the same when in the GREEN and BLUE states, where LEDIDACG and LEDIDACB are measured
respectively. Note that for the initial current test of a new state, the machine always loads the Current
DAC register setting, not a reduced value previously used.
Throughout the DAC loading and current limit testing, the LED is disabled and the current is steered
through the power supply AVDD1. This prevents stress in the LED, by ensuring that it is not enabled
until the current is within the safe operating area.
A register bit ILIMITFLAG will get set when any of the LED Flags are set. All of the Flags will be reset
when applying a LED Software Reset.
For example:
The Red LED maximum current is 53mA in this example.
LEDIRNGR = 11 which gives an absolute maximum current of 68 mA.
LEDIMAX = 1 which gives a maximum limit of up to 53 mA.
ILIMITDEC = 1 which sets reduction to 25%
ILIMITEN = 01 which enables current reduction

WM8255
Production Data
LEDRFLAG and subsequently ILIMITFLAG will be set and LED current will be reduced to: 68 mA * (10.25) = 51 mA
This is within the safe operating area of the LED to be driven.
In the case of a safe operating area test fail, the LED current will be reduced by 25% to give a
maximum limit of up to 39.75 mA
Should this LED current drive be insufficient during operation it may be calibrated until a target is met.
The algorithm used to control the calibration of the LED DAC current is user specific but it has access
to the LED Flags, ILIMITFLAG and the LED current DAC register values.
A binary incremental or binary weighted search may be used to increase the LED DAC current to the
absolute current maximum limit. An indication of how to perform a binary incremental search is
mentioned below.
A SUGGESTED BINARY INCREMENTAL SEARCH IMPLEMENTED BY THE
USER
When the LED maximum current is detected, the LED current can be trimmed back by either 12.5%
or 25%, depending on ILIMITDEC. At 25% this will guarantee the LED current is below the LED DAC
absolute maximum current limit. The LED current can then be incremented by an LSB of the LED
current register. The LED current will continue to be incremented until ILIMITFLAG is again set.
Figure 24 shows this process graphically.
The LSB of the current is 0.4% of the full LED current DAC full scale range. As a result the LED
current DAC may trim the LED current drive to within +/-0.2% of target.
If the coarse LED current limit is 35mA to 53mA when LEDIMAX=1, this means the trip point accuracy
will be:Min. Limit – ((Min. Full Scale Range/255)/2) >> Max. Limit + ((Max. Full Scale Range/255)/2)
In this case LEDRNG = 11 so Min. FSR is 50 and Max FSR is 68.
LEDIMAX=1 so Min. Limit is 35 and Max. Limit is 53.
Therefore:35 - ((50/255) /2) >> 53 + ((68/255) /2)
= 34.9 >> 53.13
gives
35 - (0.196/2) >> 53 + (0.266/2)
or 44 +/-20.75%.
During the binary incremental search, the LED current will continue to be incremented until
ILIMITFLAG is again set. At this point it is desirable to disable the reduction of the LED current.
Different options to disable the reduction of current can be achieved through the register bit ILIMITEN.
Refer to Table 4 in the Blank Period Section.

LED CONTROL WORKED EXAMPLE
As an example of configuring the LED current drive control, consider the scan of a US Letter page
size with the AFE configured to sample at 12 MHz MCLK and 3:1 MCLK:VSMP ratio.
The aim is to calculate LEDPWMPER for the given MCLK frequency to give a PWM frequency of
typically 2.5kHz. Then the number of PWM cycles per line scan is calculated to check that there is
sufficient imaging time and coarse trim range.

1.
The number of MCLK cycles per PWM period is given by:
LEDPWMPER = 12 MHz / 2.5kHz = 4800.
This exceeds the maximum 4095 so CLKDIV must be set to ‘0001’.
Therefore 12Mhz / 2 = 6MHz
Therefore LEDPWMPER = 6MHz / 2.5kHz = 2400
2.
The number of MCLK cycles necessary for blanking period is given by:
(tBLANK *0.8)*MCLK = INITBLANKdec.
(25uSec * 0.8)*12MHz = 240
The binary equivalent of INITBLANKdec should be calculated and, making sure the last 3 LSBs are
zero, should be set in the register.
240 = 0 1111 0000bin. Therefore the 6 MSBs to be set to the register INITBLANK are :- 011110bin
By default INITBLANK is set to zero which sets the initial blank period to equal the PWM period/0.8
3.
The number of MCLK cycles per line scan is given by:
MCLK cycles per line scan = 9inch * 2400dpi * 3 = 64800
4.
The number of MCLK cycles available for imaging is given by:
MCLK cycles per line scan - MCLK cycles per line scan = 64800 – 240 = 64560
5.
The Number of PWM cycles per line scan is given by:
MCLK cycles per PWM period LEDPWMPER = 2400
Number of PWM cycles per line scan = 64560 / 2400 = 26.9
The nearest integral number of PWM cycles per line scan then 26.
The illumination period should be checked. Assuming 26 PWM cycles per line, with the first
cycle reserved for the current DAC setup and transition, and an 80% duty cycle
Period of illumination
= 26 * 0.8 / 2.5kHz = 8.32 msec
Period of illumination coarse trim LSB
= 1 / 2.5kHz
= 400 usec
Period of illumination fine trim LSB
= 1 / 6MHz
= 166.66 nsec
PWM
If the period of illumination per line scan is too short, the imaging period is limiting the scan period.
The period between TG pulses should be increased and step 2 should be repeated to calculate the
number of MCLK cycles per line scan.
Set values for LEDPWMDCR / G / B as appropriate.
Using the number of PWM cycles per line scan for reference, set values for LEDENSTART and
LEDENSTOPR / G / B as appropriate.
Set values for LEDIDACR / G / B as appropriate.
A red, green, blue, red, green, blue colour transition is required, so set STATE0 = 00 for red,
STATE1 = 01 for green and STATE2 = 10 for blue. Set STATERST = 10

CONTROL INTERFACE
The internal control registers are programmable via the serial digital control interface. The register
contents can be read back via the serial interface on pin OP[3]/SDO.
It is recommended that a software reset is carried out after the power-up sequence, before writing to
any other register. This ensures that all registers are set to their default values (as shown in Table 8).
SERIAL INTERFACE: REGISTER WRITE
Figure 25 shows register writing in serial mode. Three pins, SCK, SDI and SEN are used. A six-bit
address (a5, 0, a3, a2, a1, a0) is clocked in through SDI, MSB first, followed by an eight-bit data word
(b7, b6, b5, b4, b3, b2, b1, b0), also MSB first. Each bit is latched on the rising edge of SCK. When
the data has been shifted into the device, a pulse is applied to SEN to transfer the data to the
appropriate internal register. Note all valid registers have address bit a4 equal to 0 in write mode.

SERIAL INTERFACE: REGISTER READ-BACK
Figure 26 shows register read-back in serial mode. Read-back is initiated by writing to the serial bus
as described above but with address bit a4 set to 1, followed by an 8-bit dummy data word. Writing
address (a5, 1, a3, a2, a1, a0) will cause the contents (d7, d6, d5, d4, d3, d2, d1, d0) of
corresponding register (a5, 0, a3, a2, a1, a0) to be output MSB first on pin SDO (on the falling edge of
SCK). Note that pin SDO is shared with an output pin, OP[3], so no data can be read when reading
from a register. The next word may be read in to SDI while the previous word is still being output on
SDO.

TIMING REQUIREMENTS
To use this device a master clock (MCLK) of up to 24MHz and a per-pixel synchronisation clock
(VSMP) of up to 12MHz is required. These clocks drive a timing control block, which produces
internal signals to control the sampling of the video signal. MCLK to VSMP ratios and maximum
sample rates for the various modes are shown in Table 6.

WM8255
Production Data
PROGRAMMABLE VSMP DETECT CIRCUIT
The VSMP input is used to determine the sampling point and frequency of the WM8255. Under
normal operation a pulse of 1 MCLK period should be applied to VSMP at the desired sampling
frequency (as shown in the Operating Mode Timing Diagrams) and the input sample will be taken on
the first rising MCLK edge after VSMP has gone low. However, in certain applications such a signal
may not be readily available. The programmable VSMP detect circuit in the WM8255 allows the
sampling point to be derived from any signal of the correct frequency, such as a CCD shift register
clock, when applied to the VSMP pin.
When enabled, by setting the VSMPDET control bit, the circuit detects either a rising or falling edge
(determined by POSNNEG control bit) on the VSMP input pin and generates an internal VSMP pulse.
This pulse can optionally be delayed by a number of MCLK periods, specified by the VDEL[2:0] bits.
Figure 27 shows the internal VSMP pulses that can be generated by this circuit for a typical clock
input signal. The internal VSMP pulse is then applied to the timing control block in place of the normal
VSMP pulse provided from the input pin. The sampling point then occurs on the first rising MCLK
edge after this internal VSMP pulse, as shown in the Operating Mode Timing Diagrams.

REFERENCES
The ADC reference voltages are derived from an internal band-gap reference, and buffered to pins
VRT and VRB, where they must be decoupled to ground. The output buffer from the RLCDAC also
requires decoupling at pin VRLC/VBIAS when this is configured as an output.
POWER SUPPLY
The WM8255 operates from either a 5.75V (AVDD1) supply or a 3.3V (AVDD2).
POWER MANAGEMENT
The WM8255 has a power management system to detect the presence and correct level of the power
supplies AVDD1, AVDD2 and DVDD.
With reference to Figure 28, the WM8255 is partitioned into three power domains, a digital domain
powered by DVDD, LED current drive domain powered by AVDD1 and AFE domain powered by
AVDD2. In the digital domain, until DVDD has reached the correct level, a Power On Reset (POR)
shall disable the WM8255. The LDO voltage regulator and AFE voltage references shall be enabled
and allowed to power up as AVDD1 is applied when the POR released. With AVDD1, AVDD2 and
AFE voltage references at the correct level a system enable is set and WM8255 shall power up in a
controlled manner.
Figure 28 Power Management System
Power management for the device is performed via the Control Interface. The device can be powered
on or off completely by setting the EN bit low.
All the internal registers maintain their previously programmed value in power down mode and the
Control Interface inputs remain active.

POWER ON SEQUENCE
In order to guarantee correct operation, the digital supply (DVDD) and analogue supply (AVDD1)
should be applied as specified in Figure 29 and Table 5.
If it is not possible to apply the recommended power up sequence, the user must wait until both
DVDD and AVDD1 have risen fully, then disable and enable the WM8255 by software write to EN
(R0, b0). It is then possible to apply further register writes and operate the WM8255 correctly.
When powering down the WM8255, no specific power down sequence is required.
REDUCED POWER
With DVDD applied, AVDD1 may be powered down with no loss to digital configuration data. This will
reduce the power consumption of the device whilst still keeping register settings and configurations.

the current state), and CHANGE_SETUP & IDAC_DISABLE are high.
10 = IDAC_CHECK: RGB switch is enabled (based on current state)
and IDAC_CALIBRATE is set high. Current setting will not change
unless test load is enabled.
11 = IDAC_ON: IDAC is fully out of reset. PWM_LEDON will still be
driven by the counters unless the test override is used. Current setting
will not change unless test load is enabled.
LED_TESTCTRL[2] = Test update. The current setting is continuously
reloaded (from Red register when machine in reset).
LED_TESTCTRL[3] = PWM test enable. PWM_LEDON is now driven
using the LEDSTART pin.
