9.9.1.3 DDC Signals
As shown in Figure 9-37, HDMI Interface High-Level Schematic, the DDC connects just like a standard
I2C bus. As such, resistor pullups must be used to pull up the open drain buffer signals unless they are
integrated into the ESD protection chip used. If used, these pullup resistors should be connected to a 3.3-
V supply.
9.9.1.4 HDMI ESD Protection Device (Required)
Interfaces that connect to a cable such as HDMI generally require more ESD protection than can be built
into the outputs of the processor. Therefore, this HDMI interface requires the use of an ESD protection
chip to provide adequate ESD protection and to translate I2C voltage levels from the 3.3 V supplied by the
device to the 5 volts required by the HDMI specification.
When selecting an ESD protection chip, choose the lowest capacitance ESD protection available to
minimize signal degradation. In no case should the ESD protection circuit capacitance be more than 5 pF.
TI manufactures devices that provide ESD protection for HDMI signals such as the TPD12S521. For more
information see the www.ti.com website.

9.9.1.6 Grounding

the TMDS signal.
