ESS Technology Announces the World's Best Stereo Sabre[TM] DAC with an Integrated 2Vrms Driver and 112dB Dynamic Range.Utilizes Hyperstream[TM] DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter Architecture with Jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle Eliminator FREMONT, Calif. -- ESS Technology, a leading provider of high performance audio/video solutions, today announced the addition of ES9022 - Sabre Premier Stereo DAC with 2Vrms driver to its Vista[TM] family of high-definition audiovisual products. The ES9022 combines the highly acclaimed Sabre[TM] DAC and a high performance 2Vrms output driver into the ideal D/A converter (Digital/Analog converter) A device that converts digital code into analog signals. The most common applications are for generating sound and video. The D/A converter may be contained on a single chip or can be one circuit within a chip. Contrast with A/D converter. for line-level output applications such as Blu-ray players, CD/DVD players, set-top boxes, digital TVs and game consoles. With a patented Hyperstream[TM] architecture and a patented Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9022 supports 24-bit conversion with up to 192kHz sampling rate and delivers jitter-free studio quality audio with 112dB of dynamic range, setting a new performance benchmark by outperforming all 3.3V powered D/A converters with 2Vrms drivers in the market. The ES9022 has integrated charge pump A charge pump is an electronic circuit that uses capacitors as energy storage elements to create either a higher or lower voltage power source. Charge pump circuits are capable of high efficiencies, sometimes as high as 90-95% while being electrically simple circuits. and operates from a single 3.3V supply to drive a ground-centered 2Vrms output. The result is the lowest system cost by eliminating the need for an output op-amp filter, DC-blocking capacitors, a mute circuit or multi-rail power supplies. In addition, the ES9022 output level is adjustable via an external resistor, allowing custom output levels below 2Vrms. Pop-noise is eliminated through comprehensive suppression on power up/down, mute and reset. Robert Wong, vice-president of marketing and worldwide sales for ESS Technology, said, "The ES9022 Sabre[TM] Premier DAC is the highest performance product of its class at 2Vrms line level with a single 3.3V power supply. With bill of materials The list of components that make up a system. For example, a bill of materials for a house would include the cement block, lumber, shingles, doors, windows, plumbing, electric, heating and so on. reduced to just a few passive components externally, audiophile An individual who is very interested and enthusiastic about the sound quality of a stereo or home theater system. Quality audio components are designed to reproduce the audio without adding any distortion or coloration. sound and quality are now accessible and affordable to consumers." The ES9022 is sampling in a 16-SOP package and priced at $0.98 in quantities of 10,000.
