STMicroelectronics HDMI2C1 ESD Protection / Signal Booster

STMicroelectronics HDMI2C1 ESD Protection / Signal Booster ICs combine mandatory control-signal conditioning and ESD protection for HDMI-compliant products. The HDMI2C1 simplifies the design of HDMI-compliant connections for high-definition set-top boxes such as setop-boxes, streaming devices, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and satellite decoders. These devices occupy up to 70% less board space than an equivalent network of discrete components for ESD protection, boosting, and level shifting of HDMI control signals.

Features

  • HDMI 2.0 (4K/2K 60fps) compliant from -40°C to +85°C
  • TMDS high bandwidth and very low clamping voltage ESD protection
  • Supports direct connection to low-voltage HDMI ASIC and/or CEC driver (down to 1.8V)
  • DDC capacitive decoupling between ASIC and HDMI connector and dynamic pull-up for long cable driving
  • 8kV contact ESD protection on connector side
  • Back drive protection on 5V, DDC bus and CEC
  • CEC independent structure from main power supply
  • HDMI Ethernet and audio return channel (HEAC) compatible
  • HPD pull down and signal conditioning
  • Short-circuit protection on 5V output

Applications

  • Consumer and computer electronics HDMI Sink device such as
    • Set-top boxes
    • ADSL boxes
    • DVD and Blu-Ray disk systems
    • Notebook / PC graphic cards
    • Game consoles
    • Home theaters
