Patent ID: 8902955

Claim:
A high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) data transceiving apparatus comprising: a data receiver; and a data transmitter, having a first data transmission terminal and a second data transmission terminal, wherein the first data transmission terminal transmits first data to the data receiver through a first transmission line, and the second data transmission terminal transmits second data to the data receiver through a second transmission line, the data transmitter comprising: a first impedance-providing device, having a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal of the first impedance-providing device is coupled to the first data transmission terminal of the data transmitter; a second impedance-providing device, having a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal of the second impedance-providing device is coupled to the second data transmission terminal of the data transmitter, and the second terminal of the second impedance-providing device is coupled to the second terminal of the first impedance-providing device; a first switch, having a first terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal, wherein the first terminal of the first switch is coupled to the first data transmission terminal of the data transmitter, and the first switch is turned on or off according to a first control signal received by the control terminal of the first switch; a second switch, having a first ten terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal, wherein the first terminal of the second switch is coupled to the second data transmission terminal of the data transmitter, the second terminal of the second switch is coupled to the second terminal of the first switch, and the second switch is turned on or off according to a second control signal received by the control terminal of the second switch; and a current source serially connected to a reference ground terminal and the second terminal of the second switch, the current source sinking a reference current from the second terminal of the first switch and the second terminal of the second switch to the reference ground terminal.
