Single-chip ESD protection and signal conditioning for maximum performance

The ST Microelectronics HDMI2C1-14HD is now available from Farnell element14. The tiny device offers the latest in single-chip ESD protection and signal conditioning for maximum performance up to today's fastest 4K Ultra-HD data rates. The device provides HDMI designers with an easy and fast way to reach full compliancy with the stringent HDMI 1.4 CTS on a wide temperature range. It features active pull-ups on all display data channel (DDC) lines to maintain Ultra-HD signal integrity and minimise dependence on HDMI cable quality. It can save 80% of the PCB space occupied by discrete protection components and can accelerate time to market for fast-moving consumer products such as Ultra-HD set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, laptops and PC graphic cards, says the company.
