Datasheet

1. General description
The IP4791CZ12 is designed to protect mobile High-Definition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) transmitter interfaces. It includes level shifting for the Data Display
Channel (DDC), Consumer Electronic Control (CEC), hot plug signal and backdrive
protection. In addition, all signals are protected by high-level ElectroStatic
Discharge (ESD) protection diodes.
The level shifting function is required to protect the I/Os against overvoltages when the
transmitter operates at a supply voltage lower than the external devices. The IP4791CZ12
contains active buffers to provide the level shifting function, hot plug detect input and the
CEC pull-up current source.
The ESD protection diodes provide protection from ESD voltages up to ±8 kV, according
to IEC 61000-4-2, level 4.
