I3C Conformance Testing

Specialized compliance and interoperability testing for MIPI I3C and mixed-bus embedded systems.

Overview

We provide protocol-level validation and compliance testing for I3C implementations, ensuring correct behavior across devices, vendors, and operating modes — from early silicon to production hardware.

Why This Technology Matters

I3C introduces dynamic addressing, in-band interrupts, and complex state machines that are difficult to validate with generic tools. Dedicated compliance testing is essential to avoid interoperability issues, timing violations, and late-stage failures — especially in mixed I²C/I3C environments.

Why You Need It

If you're developing I3C host controllers, target devices, or mixed I²C/I3C systems, protocol validation catches edge cases and interoperability issues before silicon tapeout or product launch. This testing is critical for semiconductor companies and system integrators working with I3C for the first time.
