I3C Cafe - Now Brewing: A New Digital Protocol

I3C Devices

Updated on Sep 26, 2022

It's surprisingly difficult to search for devices which support I3C. In many cases, it's buried in the details of the product pages or datasheets. You may be able to find a product announcement that mentions it, but that's not always the case. As such, we're actively maintaining a list of the I3C devices we find on the market on this page.

I3C Controllers

The devices in the table below feature I3C Controller support. These processors and microcontrollers are very likely able to operate as I3C Target devices as well.

The MIPI Alliance will be hosting the next I3C Interop Workshop on 13-14 June in Munich, Germany. This workshop will be open to non-members for the first time!

Renesas Releases an RF VGA with I3C Control Interface

Apr 30, 2022 Max Peck

The Renesas F0443 is a Dual Matched Broadband RF digital variable gain amplifier designed for use in diversity/MIMO receivers. This is quite a deviation from the typical applications of I3C-capable devices.

Renesas Launches PMIC for DDR5 DIMMs With I3C Support

Apr 30, 2022 Max Peck

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.
