For the input stage, the final analogue voltage applied

The position of the clamp relative to the video sample

programmable by CDSREF1-0 (see Table 6).
default, the reset sample occurs on the fourth MCLK
rising edge after VSMP. The relative timing between
the reset sample (and CL) and video sample can be
altered as shown in Figure 5. When the clamp pulse is
active the voltage on the WM8143-12 side of Cin, i.e.
RINP, will be forced to be equal to the VRLC clamp
voltage. The VRLC clamp voltage is programmable to
three different levels via the serial interface.
voltage to which the clamp voltage should be
programmed is dependent on the type of sampling
selected and the polarity of the input video signal.

Figure 5 Reset Sample and Clamp Timing
For CDS operation it is important to match the clamp
voltage to the amplitude and polarity of the video
signal. This will allow the best use of the wide input
common-mode range offered by the WM8143-12. If the
input video is positive going it is advisable to clamp to
VCL (Lower clamp voltage). If the video is negative
going it is advisable to clamp to VCU (Upper clamp
voltage). Regardless of where the video is clamped the
offset DAC is programmed to move the ADC output
corresponding to the reset level to an appropriate value
to maximise the ADC dynamic range. For Single Ended
operation it is recommended that the clamp voltage is
set to VCM (middle clamp voltage).
Figure 6 Position of Clamp Relative to Video Input
A reset level clamp is activated if the RLC pin is high
on an MCLK rising edge (Figure 7). By default this
initiates an internal clamp pulse three MCLK pulses
later (shown as CL in Figure 5). The relationship
between CL and RS is fixed. Therefore altering the RS
position also alters the CL position (Figure 5). Table 6
shows the three possible voltages to which the reset
level can be clamped.
