Overview: ES9820 32-bit High-Performance 4-Channel ADC Analog Reinvented Product Datasheet The SABRE® ES9820 is a 2 channel 32-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter targeted for professional audio applications such as high-quality recording systems, mixer consoles and digital audio workstations (DAW), test equipment, instruments, audio processors, digital turntables, and consumer applications. The ES9820 has 2 integrated ADCs which use the ESS proprietary Hyperstream® II Architecture, which delivers unprecedented SABRE HiFi® audio sound quality and specifications, including a True DNR of +117dB in mono mode and a DNR +116dB in stereo mode, THD+N of -108dB in 2 channel mode. The SABRE® ADC supports synchronous S/PDIF, I²S master/slave, or native DSD output. The ES9820 comes in a small compact package and consumes 80mW @ 48kHz.
The ES9820 can use preprogramed filter coefficients to match perfectly with the SABRE® PRO Series of DACs including the ES9038PRO. These complimentary filters allow for analog-digital-analog processing with the upmost audio fidelity and minimized time-domain smearing. The Audio Signal Processor (ASP) integrated in the ADC allows for custom filtering such as RIAA presets to be implemented in the ADC, eliminating the need for re-processing later in the signal path.
The ES9820 has an Ultra-Low Noise Floor Bandwidth of 200kHz. This bandwidth is up to 10 times wider than the competition, enabling higher resolution at higher sample rates.
