MediaGuard™ HDMI Port Protection & Interface Devices
These devices provide low capacitance ESD protection, electrical isolation, backdrive protection, level shifting and overcurrent protection in a single chip.
California Micro Devices’ third generation of HDMI port protection products are designed to meet the feature requirements of the most advanced HDMI enabled applications. The CM2030 and CM2031 combine the proven signal integrity, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, backdrive and overcurrent protection of previous MediaGuard solutions with enhanced features such as dynamic pullups on the Display Data Channel (DDC) lines, CEC slew rate control and active control logic for the hot plug signal. The CM2030 is optimized for source ports such as set top boxes and DVD players, and the CM2031 is designed for HDMI sinks such as digital TVs. MediaGuard solutions are already used in millions of HDMI and DVI systems worldwide.

Serial Interface Devices
California Micro Devices introduces a dual display and audio controller for wireless handsets that incorporates the VESA Standard Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI) link, which is fully compatible with QUALCOMM's Mobile Station Modem (MSM™) chipset solution. The new CM5100 features a fully compliant, MDDI based serial client, an integrated display controller with embedded memory that supports primary thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with resolutions up to QVGA (320x240) and secondary displays with up to QCIF+ (176x220) resolution. The CM5100’s unique architecture is optimized for use with today’s most advanced TFT LCD modules that feature drivers integrated directly on the display glass and also allows the use of low cost, RAM-less drivers for non-integrated display modules. In both cases, CM5100-based implementations result in a significantly smaller footprint and lower solution cost than competitive solutions. Additionally, California Micro Devices’ CM5100 is the first integrated display controller with an integrated MDDI compliant audio controller and features advanced audio and video synchronization capabilities.
