USER TIPS FOR OBTAINING BEST PERFORMANCE FROM THE WM2152
• Drive the clock input CLK from a low-jitter, fast logic stage, with a well-decoupled
power supply and short PCB traces.
• Minimise capacitive loads on the digital outputs, to minimise on-chip current spikes.
• Use separately decoupled ground planes for digital and analog supplies and for
AVDD1,AVDD2. and route any digital return currents away from sensitive analog
nodes.
• Keep all decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the respective supply or
reference pins.
• Solder the device directly to the PCB: socketing the device will introduce extra parasitic
inductance and degrade decoupling
• Small series resistors and shunt capacitors on the analog inputs will help pre-filter high-
frequency noise and prevent it being aliased down by the sample-hold. These may also
help the preceding amplifier to drive into the switched-capacitior inputs of the WM2152.
An Evaluation Kit WM2152-EV1B is available for this part, consisting of an evaluation board
and manual.
