TPD12S521

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPD12S521

Is there any particular reason 47K ohm pull-up resistors are shown on the DCLK_IN and DDAT_IN lines? Shouldn't these typically be around 1.7K ohms (depending on the I2C driver)?

  • Michael,

    The HDMI spec requires 1.7 k-ohm pull-ups on SCL and SDA for the source. The TPD12S521 pull-ups on the connector side match that, which is the correct way to look at it. The reason 47 k-ohm pull-ups between the core chip and the TPD12S521 were chosen is that we would consider the core chip was designed to drive a sink with 47 k pull-ups.

  • Guy, thanks for the quick reply.

    So the 47k ohm pull ups were just place holders? Since our I2C interface already has its own pull-ups on the clk and data lines, then I take it we don't need the 47k's?
  • Hi Michael,

    That's correct, if you already have pull-ups don't use more as long as you have 47k or less already. If you have, say 100k internal, you should put 89k pull-ups as shown in the data sheet where the 47k are. This would give 47k from 100k||89k.
