HEAC link and HPD line description
The HDMI2C1-14HD proposes a unique solution in order to manage and protect both the
HEAC and the HPD links. The Figure 8 shows an overview of the function diagram of the
integrated block.

2.3.1
This block simplifies the design and the PCB layout of the HPD and HEAC functions. Simply
connect the 2 pins from the HDMI connector to one side of the device, and then use the 3
dedicated outputs on the other side of the device to manage separately the HPD and the
HEAC links.
Both HPD and Utility inputs (cable side) integrate a protection against ESD which is
compliant with IEC61000-4-2 standard, level 4 (8 kV contact).
HPD line description
The HPD line is described in the HDMI™ standards as the Hot Plug Detect function. This
line is used by the Source device in order to detect if a Sink device is connected through an
HDMI cable.
The integrated HPD block is pulling down the line via a current source. When the input
voltage is detected to be higher than a threshold level VTH_HPD, the signal is converted into
a high state level on the ASIC side, at the voltage level of the ASIC power supply VDD_IC.
Otherwise, HPD_IC pin remains in low state.
The electrical parameters relevant to the HPD block and specified by theTable 7 are
illustrated in the Figure 9.
