Multiplexer Mapping (2x CD74HC4067)

We use two 16-channel muxes.

Mux A (High Speed Data)

  • Channel 0: Pin 1 (Data2+)
  • Channel 1: Pin 3 (Data2-)
  • Channel 2: Pin 4 (Data1+)
  • Channel 3: Pin 6 (Data1-)
  • Channel 4: Pin 7 (Data0+)
  • Channel 5: Pin 9 (Data0-)
  • Channel 6: Pin 10 (Clock+)
  • Channel 7: Pin 12 (Clock-)

Mux B (Control & Power)

  • Channel 0: Pin 13 (CEC)
  • Channel 1: Pin 14 (Reserved/HEAC+)
  • Channel 2: Pin 15 (SCL)
  • Channel 3: Pin 16 (SDA)
  • Channel 4: Pin 18 (+5V)
  • Channel 5: Pin 19 (HPD)

Expected Diode Mode Values (General Guide)

  • TMDS Lines (1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12): 0.3V - 0.7V
  • DDC Lines (15, 16): 0.5V - 0.8V
  • CEC (13): 0.6V - 0.9V
  • +5V (18): Usually high or varies depending on console (check for shorts!)
  • HPD (19): 0.6V - 0.9V

Note: Shields (2, 5, 8, 11) and GND (17) should be tied to common ground for the measurement.
