Feature List
The ES9039(M)PRO are SABRE 8 channel Flagship performance digital to analog converters (DAC) with features and performance including the
new Hyperstream IV modulator that produces a device that is well suited for all Audiophile and PRO Audio applications.
These features include TDM & SPI support as well as a Hardware (HW) mode for simplifying configuration of the ES9039PRO. The ES9039MPRO
includes a built in MQA renderer.
Sample rates up to 768kHz with PCM data and 7 selectable build-in digital filters as well as programmable filters. DSD rates up to DSD1024 are
supported as well.
Configuration Modes
The ES9039PRO/ES9039MPRO have 4 control programming modes. They are controlled by the state of the MODE (pin 23):
Software Mode
To configure the ES9039MPRO & ES9039PRO registers manually over I2C or SPI, connect the following pins:
I2C
o MODE (Pin 23) – GND
o Connect per I2C standard
▪ SDA (Pin 21)
▪ SCL (Pin 22)
▪ ADDR0 (Pin 41)
▪ ADDR1 (Pin 40)
SPI
o Mode (Pin 23) – AVDD
o Connect per SPI standard
▪ MOSI (Pin 21)
▪ SCLK (Pin 22)
▪ SS (Pin 40)
▪ MISO (Pin 41)

CONFIDENTIAL ADVANCE INFORMATION 0.2.1
Hardware Mode
The ES9039MPRO & ES9039PRO has 32 pre-configured modes that can be set with external pin configuration. These modes configure the DAC for
different input serial data rates and set the DAC muting.
These modes are set with pins:
• MODE (Pin 23)
• HW0 (Pin 21)
• HW1 (Pin 22)
• HW2 (Pin 40)
• MUTE_CTRL (Pin 41)
Design Information
Each hardware mode pin can be configured with either a pull-up or pull-down resistor. Therefore, it is important that the pin is configured to allow for
the desired hardware modes. Some guidelines include the following:
• The HW0 and HW1 pins never require a pull up or pull-down resistor.
Pull-up Pull-down
AVDD or GPIO
47k
HW2/ HW2/
MODE MODE
47k
GND or GPIO
Muting
MUTE_CTRL (Pin 41) is used to control the muting of the output and enabling of the Automute feature while in Hardware Mode:
• 0 – Output Muted, No Automute
• 1 – Output Unmuted, No Automute
• Pull 0 – Output Muted, Automute Enabled
• Pull 1 – Output Unmuted, Automute Enabled

CONFIDENTIAL ADVANCE INFORMATION 0.2.1
To ensure that all packages can be successfully and reliably assembled, the reflow profiles studied and recommended by ESS are based on the
JEDEC/IPC standard J-STD-020 revision D.1.
Reflow is allowed 3 times. Caution must be taken to ensure time between re-flow runs does not exceed the allowed time by the moisture sensitivity
label. If the time elapsed between the re-flows exceeds the moisture sensitivity time bake the board according to the moisture sensitivity label
instructions.
Manual
Allowed up to 2 times with maximum temperature of 350°C no longer than 3 seconds.
91 ESS TECHNOLOGY, INC. 109 Bonaventura Drive, San Jose, CA 95134, USA Tel (408) 643-8800 • WWW.ESSTECH.COM
CONFIDENTIAL ADVANCE INFORMATION 0.2.1
All temperatures refer to the center of the package, measured on the package body surface that is facing up during assembly reflow (e.g., live-bug).
If parts are reflowed in other than the normal live-bug assembly reflow orientation (i.e., dead-bug), Tp shall be within ±2°C of the live-bug Tp and still
meet the Tc requirements, otherwise, the profile shall be adjusted to achieve the latter. To accurately measure actual peak package body
temperatures, refer to JEP140 for recommended thermocouple use.
Reflow profiles in this document are for classification/preconditioning and are not meant to specify board assembly profiles. Actual board assembly
profiles should be developed based on specific process needs and board designs and should not exceed the parameters in Table RPC-1.
For example, if Tc is 260°C and time tp is 30 seconds, this means the following for the supplier and the user.
For a supplier: The peak temperature must be at least 260°C. The time above 255°C must be at least 30 seconds.
For a user: The peak temperature must not exceed 260°C. The time above 255°C must not exceed 30 seconds.
All components in the test load shall meet the classification profile requirements.
ESS TECHNOLOGY, INC. 109 Bonaventura Drive, San Jose, CA 95134, USA Tel (408) 643-8800 • WWW.ESSTECH.COM 92
CONFIDENTIAL ADVANCE INFORMATION 0.2.1
At the discretion of the device manufacturer, but not the board assembler/user, the maximum peak package body temperature (Tp) can exceed the
values specified in Table RPC-2. The use of a higher Tp does not change the classification temperature (Tc).
Package volume excludes external terminals (e.g., balls, bumps, lands, leads) and/or nonintegral heat sinks.
The maximum component temperature reached during reflow depends on package thickness and volume. The use of convection reflow processes
reduces the thermal gradients between packages. However, thermal gradients due to differences in thermal mass of SMD packages may still exist.
