Product details
Overview
The MAX4929EETP+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-frequency 2:1 HDMI/DVI translating switch with integrated voltage clamping and level translation for DDC (I²C) lines. It supports dual supply operation (V+ = 4.5V–5.5V, VL/CLP = 2V–5.5V), provides ±6kV HBM ESD protection on SCL/SDA/HPD pins, features 20pF typical off-capacitance, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It enables hot-plug detection and EDID EPROM protection in HD television receivers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4929EETP+ datasheet, MAX4929EETP+ pinout, MAX4929EETP+ application, or MAX4929EETP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional role, real-world timing behavior, confirmed voltage translation ranges, validated package thermal characteristics, and precise logic-level compatibility for HDMI system integration.
Technical Context
The MAX4929EETP+ implements a dual-channel analog switch architecture for SCL/SDA signals, with independent enable control (HIZ1/HIZ2) and selection logic (SEL) that determines source routing per Table 1. Its clamp function fixes SCLO/SDAO maximum output voltage to CLP via internal circuitry, eliminating external clamp diodes.
It integrates three independent supply domains: V+ powers analog switches and HPIR inputs; VL powers HPD, SEL, and HPIRO logic; CLP sets the clamping reference. No power sequencing is required-V+, VL, and CLP may be applied in any order without latch-up or damage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range (V+) | 4.5V to 5.5V - matches HDMI/DVI 5V bus requirements and powers analog switch core |
| Clamp Reference (CLP) | 2V to 5.5V - sets maximum output voltage at SCLO/SDAO, directly tied to EDID EPROM supply |
| Logic Supply (VL) | 2V to 3.3V - matches MCU I/O voltage, powers HPD input and HPIRO output logic |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 10Ω (typ), 25Ω (max) - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop on DDC lines |
| Off-Capacitance | 20pF (typ) - preserves high-frequency integrity of DDC clock/data up to 40MHz bandwidth |
| ESD Protection | ±6kV HBM on SCL/SDA/HPDO/HPIR pins - eliminates need for external TVS on HDMI connector side |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade consumer electronics deployment |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4929EETP+ uses a 20-pin, 4mm × 4mm TQFN-EP package with exposed paddle (EP) connected to GND for thermal management. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDMI DDC switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4928EETP+ | Single 2:1 switch with identical pinout, same V+/VL/CLP domains, but lacks HPIRO aggregation | Requires separate MCU GPIOs for each HPIR signal instead of combined HPIRO output | Choose when interrupt aggregation is unnecessary and cost minimization is priority |
| TS3USB30E | Single-supply (3V–4.3V), no CLP/VL separation; 8pF lower off-capacitance but no integrated clamp or ±6kV HBM | Requires external clamp diodes and TVS for HDMI compliance; limited to 3.3V systems | Choose only for low-voltage, non-HDMI-certified applications where BOM count is secondary to capacitance |
Compared with MAX4928EETP+, the MAX4929EETP+ adds HPIRO aggregation and identical functionality otherwise; compared with TS3USB30E, it delivers full HDMI-compliant clamping, triple-supply flexibility, and certified ±6kV ESD-enabling direct HDMI connector interface without support components.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX4929EETP+ in an HDMI system?
The MAX4929EETP+ serves as a low-frequency 2:1 translating switch for HDMI/DVI DDC (I²C) lines-routing SCL/SDA signals between two HDMI sources and a single EDID EPROM while performing voltage clamping, level translation, and hot-plug detection. It enables seamless source switching without EDID corruption and eliminates need for external clamp diodes or level shifters in the MAX4929EETP+ design.
Does the MAX4929EETP+ require power supply sequencing?
No, the MAX4929EETP+ does not require power supply sequencing. Its V+, VL, and CLP supplies can be powered in any order without risk of latch-up or damage. This is enabled by internal BiCMOS architecture and independent supply domain isolation, making the MAX4929EETP+ robust during system power-up and hot-swap events.
How does the MAX4929EETP+ protect EDID EPROM from overvoltage?
The MAX4929EETP+ protects EDID EPROM using its integrated clamp function: SCLO and SDAO outputs are internally clamped to the CLP supply voltage. When CLP is tied to the EPROM's VCC (e.g., 3.3V), the MAX4929EETP+ ensures no voltage exceeding CLP appears at the EPROM pins-even if HDMI source drives 5V onto SCL/SDA lines-thereby preventing overvoltage damage without external components.
What is the purpose of the EXESD pin on the MAX4929EETP+?
EXESD is the dedicated external ESD discharge terminal on the MAX4929EETP+. It connects internally to the ESD protection network and must be decoupled to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to achieve full ±6kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD rating on all I/O pins. Omitting this capacitor reduces ESD robustness and violates HDMI compliance requirements for the MAX4929EETP+.
Can two MAX4929EETP+ devices be used together to create a 4:1 HDMI switch?
Yes, two MAX4929EETP+ devices can be configured as a 4:1 HDMI switch per Figure 6 in the datasheet. One device handles HDMI1/HDMI2 inputs, the other handles HDMI3/HDMI4; their SDAO/SCLO outputs feed a second-stage switch or MCU-controlled multiplexer. This configuration retains all MAX4929EETP+ features-including clamping, translation, and HPIRO aggregation-across all four inputs.
