CONFIDENTIAL ADVANCE INFORMATION Reference ADC and Ultra ADC Series 32-bit High Performance Audio ADC Product Brief Analog Reinvented 32 The SABRE ADC series is the world’s highest performance 32-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter solution targeted for consumer applications such as audio pre-amplifier, audio processor, A/V receiver and professional audio applications such as recording systems, mixer consoles and digital audio workstations. Part Description DNR (dB-A) THD+N (dB) ES9102 SABRE32 Reference 32-bit Stereo/Mono ADC SABRE32 Ultra 32-bit Stereo ADC 127 (Mono) 124 (Stereo) 124 −120 (Mono) −118 (Stereo) -112 ES9112 32-bit 8-band Biquad I2S/SPDIF Digital Filter Filter Output Programmable Programmable Yes Programmable Programmable Yes Sample Rate Up to 384kHz Up to 384kHz Package 48LQFP 28SOP 32 Using the ESS proprietary 32-bit Hyperstream ADC architecture, the SABRE Reference ADC delivers an unprecedented DNR of 127dB and THD+N of −120dB in mono mode (or DNR of 124dB and THD+N of −118dB in stereo mode), a performance level that will satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiasts. 32 For highest performance, the SABRE ADC series implements a 32-bit programmable decimation filter and outputs the full 32-bit resolution in I2S mode, or 24-bit resolution in SPDIF mode. A digital high-pass filter is available for DC removal. Additionally, a programmable 8-band biquad filter is implemented for RIAA or custom equalization. The 32 SABRE ADC series supports synchronous SPDIF or I2S master/slave output, or asynchronous I2S slave output relative to the master clock for up to 384kHz sample rate and consumes less than 200mW.
