CEC line description
The CEC bus is described in the HDMI™ standards as the consumer electronics control. It
provides control functions between all the various audiovisual equipments chained in the
user's environment.
The CEC block integrated in the HDMI2C1-14HD implements a level shifter, shifting the
cable CEC +3.3 V voltage (VDD_CEC) down to the ASIC power supply voltage (VDD_CEC_IC)
that can be as low as 1.8 V. The Figure 3 shows the functional diagram of the integrated
CEC block.

In case of no activity on the CEC bus, or if the CEC driver is off (VDD_CEC_IC = 0), the CEC
pin is put in high impedance mode (open circuit) protecting the circuitry and the application
against hazardous back drive.
The Figure 4 illustrates the normal operating mode of the CEC block when the IC from the
source and when the sink drives the communication.
