Comparison

• All-in-one solution providing ESD, overcurrent output protection, level shift, and backdrive protection for HDMI port.
• 0.05pF matching capacitance between the TMDS intra-pair, which ensures reliable signal transmission.
• Matched 0.5mm trace spacing (TSSOP) simplifies the layout for HDMI connectors, and eases system integration.

• The CM2020-00TS is only suitable for HDMI interfaces, limiting its range of applications.
• The lack of information on output current capabilities makes it difficult to assess whether the device is suitable for high-power applications.
