[PATCH v4 2/4] ASoC: dt-bindings: add ESS Technology ES9039Q2M

From: Karl Asseily

Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 14:28:30 EST


Add a binding for the ES9039Q2M, a 32-bit two-channel audio DAC with an
asynchronous sample rate converter.

The part selects between two control personalities with its MODE pin:
hardware mode, strapped by HW0/HW1/HW2 with no control bus at all, and
software mode over I2C or SPI. This binding describes software mode over
I2C, which MODE = GND selects.

The four supply inputs are described and required. DVDD is not among
them: the part's 1.2V digital rail is generated on chip and the pin
takes only a decoupling capacitor. The datasheet asks for the supplies
in a set order - AVDD, then VCCA about 200us later, then the two
output-stage references, and the reverse on the way down - which the
description records, so a board with separately switchable rails has
it to hand.

Notes:
v4:
- describe the four supply inputs - AVDD, VCCA, AVCC_DAC1 and
AVCC_DAC2 - and require them, as Rob Herring and the sashiko
reviewer both asked. DVDD gets no property on purpose: the part's
1.2V digital rail is generated on chip and that pin takes a
decoupling capacitor, not a regulator
- NOTE ON THE Reviewed-by BELOW. It was given on v2 and this patch has
changed since, by exactly the supplies above. It is carried forward
rather than re-earned, and flagged here so it can be withdrawn if
you disagree
v2: rename the binding to esstech,es9039q2m and update its $id and compatible

+description:
+ The ES9039Q2M is a 32-bit two-channel audio DAC supporting PCM to 768 kHz,
+ DSD64 to DSD1024, DoP and S/PDIF. It is controlled over I2C or SPI when the
+ MODE pin selects software mode; this binding covers the I2C interface. The
+ part contains an asynchronous sample rate converter, so the system clock need
+ not be synchronous with the audio bit or frame clocks.
+
+ The four supplies are all nominally 3.3V and the datasheet requires a set
+ order - AVDD first, then VCCA about 200us later, then AVCC_DAC1 and
+ AVCC_DAC2, and the reverse on the way down. DVDD, the part's 1.2V rail, is
+ on-chip and needs only its decoupling capacitor - it is not a supply input
+ and has no property here.
