The Improved Inter Integrated Circuit (I3C) is part of a group of communication protocols defined by the MIPI Alliance. This specification is developed to ease sensor system design architectures in mobile wireless products by providing a fast, low cost, low power, two-wire digital interface for sensors.
The MIPI I3C Master Controller is a digital core that implements all protocol functions related to Main Master, Which as defined in the MIPI I3C Specification. The MIPI_I3C Core provides an interface between the system (application) and the I3C Interface, allowing the communication with the I3C devices and Legacy I2C devices (slaves) with limitations as specified in MIPI I3C Specification.
The Dual Role MIPI_I3C Controller can be configured as I3C Main Master or I2C Master/Slave with the processor interface (ICB). The controller meets the requirement of I3C protocol and I2C protocol as specified by the MIPI I3C Specification.
