ES7241D from Everest semi Everest Semiconductor, in a QFN-16-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDDP | power_in | Power supply for the digital input and output. Recommended 1.6 V to 3.6 V (typ 3.3 V). Decoupling capacitors (100 nF) should be placed close to the pin. |
| 2 | SDOUT | output | Serial data output from the ADC. Audio data output on the falling edge of SCLK. Format selection: pull-up resistor at SDOUT selects I2S; pull-down resistor selects left-justified format. |
| 3 | GNDD | power_in | Digital ground reference. Connect to system ground plane; in layout the chip should be treated as an analog device with AGND connected to system GND via 0Ω. |
| 4 | VDDD | power_in | Digital power supply. Recommended 3.0 V to 3.6 V (typ 3.3 V). Requires 100 nF decoupling capacitor close to the pin. |
| 5 | SCLK | bidirectional | Serial data bit clock. Direction depends on M1:M0 mode selection - output in master mode (derived internally from MCLK) or input in slave mode. SCLK/LRCK ratio is normally 64; maximum frequency 26 MHz. |
| 6 | LRCK | bidirectional | Serial data left/right channel frame clock (word clock). Output in master mode, input in slave mode. Maximum frequency 200 kHz; duty cycle 40-60%. |
| 7 | RESETb | input | Active-low chip reset. Drive low to place device in low-power reset/power-down. Must be held low during power-up until supplies, clocks and mode-select pins are stable. |
| 8 | AINL | input | Analog left channel input to the delta-sigma modulator. Full-scale input level 1.084 Vrms (3 Vpp); input impedance 20 kΩ. AC-couple with 1 µF capacitor. |
| 9 | REFQ | passive | Reference filtering capacitor connection. Connect a 1 µF filtering capacitor to AGND close to the pin for best performance. |
| 10 | AINR | input | Analog right channel input to the delta-sigma modulator. Full-scale input level 1.084 Vrms (3 Vpp); input impedance 20 kΩ. AC-couple with 1 µF capacitor. |
| 11 | VDDA | power_in | Analog power supply for the ADC and reference circuits. Recommended 3.0 V to 3.6 V (typ 3.3 V). Requires 1 µF (and optionally 100 nF parallel) decoupling to AGND close to the pin. |
| 12 | GNDA | power_in | Analog ground reference for the ADC. Connect to system ground plane via a 0 Ω link; chip is treated as an analog device in layout. |
| 13 | REFP | passive | Reference filtering capacitor connection. Connect a 1 µF filtering capacitor (optionally paralleled with 100 nF) to AGND close to the pin. |
| 14 | M1 | input | Mode selection bit 1. With M0 forms a 2-bit code: 00=master single speed, 01=master double speed, 10=master quad speed, 11=slave mode (all speeds). Sample the pin state at reset. |
| 15 | M0 | input | Mode selection bit 0. Together with M1 selects master/slave clock mode and single/double/quad speed operation (see Table 1). |
| 16 | MCLK | input | Master clock input to the clock manager / sample-rate detector. Maximum 51.2 MHz, duty cycle 40-60%. In master mode LRCK and SCLK are derived internally from MCLK. |
| 17 | PGND | power_in | Exposed thermal/ground pad on QFN bottom (center paddle). Connect to AGND for proper thermal dissipation and grounding. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 347 faces against 110 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
