Technical information
It’s the reason why some recommendations have to be followed (see Section 3.3: How to
ensure good ESD protection).

How to ensure good ESD protection
While the HDMIULC6-4SC6 provides a high immunity to ESD surge, an efficient protection
depends on the layout of the board. In the same way, with the rail to rail topology, the track
from data lines to I/O pins, from VCC to VBUS pin, and from GND plane to GND pin must be
as short as possible to avoid over voltages due to parasitic phenomena (see Figure 9 and
Figure 10 for layout considerations).
