Design flexibility is also applicable to high-speed video links. Here, signal integrity plays a crucial role and passive components are optional. However, a strong system level robustness can only be achieved with discrete ESD protection. When placing an ESD device right at the connector, short-to-battery requirement can be applicable. In this case, a reverse working voltage of minimum 13.5V must be chosen. If the ESD device is placed right at the PHY, lower working voltages of 5V can be chosen.
