Pull-up resistors on the I2C line of the DDC on the HDMIRX side of the ADV7625

Why is there no pull-up resistor required on the SDA of the DDC line on the input side of the HDMI, e.g. ADV7625, whereas the HDMI standard mentions SCL pull-ups but not on the SDA line? Can anyone tell me if they know why? Personally, I think the I2C line needs it in the first place, and if it is necessary for SCL, then naturally it would seem necessary for the SDA line as well.

  • Hi,

       As per expert comment, Goal is to keep the SCL line from wiggling when the cable is unplugged and we don't care if the SDA line wiggles. 

     Kindly note that, You can install the SDA pullup (47k) but it will not change anything. You can install the SDA pullup since you don't like traces to float unless it guaranteed that the SDA input has a internal pullup resistor in the chip.

    Thanks,
