Hd signal confusion

In the Hd’s description, It mentions:

The board haves a 5V boost converter and 5V<->3.3V IO level shifters for the I2C interfaces and hot plug signals on the HDMI ports.

Does it have a boost converter for the TMDS channels and other HDMI signals? If not what is the idea for communicating with the other HDMI interfaces?

Upon looking a little further, it turns out I might be a donut, because apparently the TMDS channels can be 3.3V.

Hello,
The TMDS physical layer specifications defines that the signals are 3.3v, so these pairs don’t need voltage conversion :slight_smile:

I actually am a donut.

Yeah the I2C interface is at 5V, TMDS (video signals) run at 3.3V. It’s kind of like USB, 5V power, 3.3V signaling.

Good to know. I saw the I2C voltage and assumed that everything was at the level. I am very new to electrnics at a whole so I know vey little. Thanks.
