Conclusion

MHL link is very popular in mobile applications. It allows video, audio and data management

to be on the same connector all together.

The used high data rates may induce EMI issues on Rx or other sensitive parts of the

equipment. An adequate filter is mandatory to secure USB and MHL signal integrity.

Furthermore, MHL connector can be exposed to ESD disturbances, therefore a reliable

protection may help the equipment to be hardened.

STMicroelectronics has developed a dedicated common mode filter with integrated ESD

protection to avoid these issues. The ECMF02-3HSM6 is compliant with MHL 2.0 standard

and helps the designer to build a robust and reliable link.
