Renesas Launches PMIC for DDR5 DIMMs With I3C Support
With I3C being the standard for DDR5 management, it only makes sense that the ecosystem of supporting components also adopt I3C as their primary communication interface. Renesas therefore took the logic step of introducing their P8900 PMIC, designed specifically for powering typical DDR5 RDIMM, DDR5 LRDIMM and DDR5 NVDIMM applications, with the capability to communicate on I3C. Of course, it can fall back to I2C for applications which aren't ready for I3C.
Details, tech specs, and the product datasheet can all be found on Renesas' product page.

STMicro Sensors with I3C Support Available Now
While we're eagerly awaiting STMicro to introduce their first micronctroller which features an I3C peripheral, their MEMS sensors team has already launched several devices to mass production. This gives me even more hope that their first micrcontroller with I3C support is just barely over the horizon.
Bosch BMI263 IMU Supports I3C But Is Nowhere To Be Found
Bosch Sensortec released the BMI263, a 6-Axis IMU, their first I3C compatible device, well over a year ago. They are keen to point out support for I3C all over their product page and marketing materials for the device, unlike some who are somewhat silently adding supporting for I3C. However...
TDK InvenSense IMUs Support I3C DDR Mode
TDK InvenSense, leaders in the MEMS IMU device category, have already introduced I3C support in several of their devices. Just like IMUs from STMicro, TDK InvenSense took the approach of supporting SPI, I2C, and I3C protocols on their devices, but with a key differentiator...
