The ES9023 is a 24-bit stereo audio DAC with an integrated 2Vrms op-amp driver. Powered by the industry

proven Sabre DAC technology, the ES9023 combines best-sounding audio with lowest system cost and

highest performance into the ideal D/A converter for line-level output applications such as Blu-ray players,

CD / DVD players, set-top boxes, digital TVs and audio receivers.

With patented HyperStream® architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9023 delivers jitter-free

studio quality audio with 112dB DNR.

Using an integrated charge pump to generate the negative supply, the ES9023 can operate from a single

AVCC supply to drive a ground-referenced 2Vrms output, eliminating the need for output dc-blocking

capacitors. Optionally, the output level can be adjusted by using an external resistor, allowing for output

level below 2Vrms. Pop-noise is eliminated through a comprehensive suppression on power up/down,

mute, reset, loss of power or clock. Dedicated control/status pins allow easy system integration without the

need for microcontroller programming.
