Product details
Overview
HDMI2C1-14HDS from STMicroelectronics is a fully integrated ESD protection and signal conditioning IC for HDMI 2.0/1.4 source applications, providing bidirectional level-shifting on DDC (I²C), CEC, HPD, and HEAC links, TMDS channel ESD protection up to 3.4 Gbps per lane, and +5 V output short-circuit/over-temperature protection in a 24-pin QFN package.
For engineers reviewing the HDMI2C1-14HDS datasheet, HDMI2C1-14HDS pinout, HDMI2C1-14HDS application, or HDMI2C1-14HDS equivalent, this device addresses HDMI CTS compliance challenges across temperature (-40 °C to +85 °C), supports wake-up-from-standby via CEC, enables long/poor-quality cable operation via dynamic DDC pull-up, and delivers ultra-low quiescent current (600 µA) in idle state.
Technical Context
The HDMI2C1-14HDS integrates six functional blocks: (1) bidirectional CEC level-shifter with backdrive protection and independent VDD_CEC_IC supply (1.8–3.63 V); (2) DDC (SCL/SDA) bidirectional buffer with dynamic pull-up enabling 750 pF load drive and I²C-compliant rise time; (3) HPD sink-detection circuit with current-source pull-down and ASIC-side voltage translation; (4) HEAC+ / HEAC− utility/HPD dual-role interface supporting ARC and HEC; (5) 5V_OUT current-limited power output with fault reporting (open-drain FAULT_IC); and (6) eight-channel TMDS ESD protection rated for ±8 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4).
All control links operate with independent supply domains: VDD_5V (4.9–5.3 V), VDD_IC (1.62–3.63 V), VDD_CEC (2.97–3.63 V), and VDD_CEC_IC (1.62–3.63 V), enabling low-voltage ASIC interfacing down to 1.8 V while maintaining full HDMI 2.0 electrical compliance including 4K@60 fps TMDS data integrity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDMI source interface conditioning applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPD12S521 | Single-supply (3.3 V only), no independent CEC domain, no HEAC support, lower TMDS bandwidth (2.25 Gbps) | Limited to HDMI 1.4a; cannot support 4K@60 fps or ARC/HEC features; requires external 5V regulator | Select only for cost-sensitive HDMI 1.4 designs where HEAC and CEC wake-up are not required. |
| NXP PTN3366 | Active redriver architecture (not passive ESD+conditioning), higher power (12 mW vs 3 mW), no 5VOUT protection | Used for signal regeneration over >10 m cables; lacks integrated 5V power delivery and fault reporting | Choose when TMDS signal degradation dominates design concerns - not for ESD robustness or power management focus. |
Compared with TPD12S521 and PTN3366, the HDMI2C1-14HDS uniquely combines full HDMI 2.0 ESD protection, independent low-voltage CEC wake-up, HEAC dual-function pinning, and integrated 5VOUT fault management - making it the only single-chip solution meeting strict CTS requirements for premium consumer source devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported HDMI version and video resolution?
The HDMI2C1-14HDS supports HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4 specifications, enabling transmission of uncompressed video up to 4K@60 fps (3840×2160 at 60 Hz) with YCbCr 4:4:4 color space. Its TMDS ESD protection is characterized for 3.4 Gbps per lane, matching the 10.2 Gbps aggregate bandwidth required for HDMI 2.0.
Does the device require external pull-up resistors on DDC or CEC lines?
No external pull-ups are required on DDC (SCL/SDA) lines because the HDMI2C1-14HDS integrates dynamic pull-up circuitry synchronized with I²C activity. For CEC, an external 27 kΩ pull-up (R1 per Figure 11) is required on the cable side per HDMI specification, but no pull-up is needed on the ASIC side due to internal level-shifting and drive capability.
How does the CEC wake-up function operate during system standby?
When VDD_5V and VDD_IC are powered down, the CEC block remains active if VDD_CEC_IC (1.8–3.63 V) and VDD_CEC (2.97–3.63 V) are supplied. The CEC_IC pin stays functional, allowing the ASIC to monitor CEC commands and assert wake-up signals - all other outputs (DDC, HPD, 5VOUT) enter high-impedance mode to minimize leakage.
What thermal management considerations apply to the QFN package?
The HDMI2C1-14HDS uses a 4 mm × 4 mm QFN with exposed thermal pad. ST recommends soldering the pad to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to inner ground planes. Junction-to-board thermal resistance is 35 °C/W; maximum junction temperature must stay ≤125 °C under worst-case 5VOUT load and ambient conditions.
