The Binho Supernova USB Host Adapter allows one to interface their computer directly to hardware circuits. Featuring support for MIPI I3C Protocol v1.0, v1.1.1, and v1.2, the Supernova offers an unmatched value proposition in the test tool market. The Supernova features a modern USB Type-C port for connection to the host PC, 5 x RGB LEDs for visual status indication, and a variety of DUT-facing connections all in a compact, robust machined-aluminum enclosure including integrated mounting holes.

Beyond I3C, the host adapter is able to communicate on several other digital buses: I2C, SPI, and UART. All of these protocols are implemented on their own dedicated pins and can be operated simultaneously. A bank of 6 x dedicated digital GPIO pins can be assigned to other related or unrelated purposes such as GPIO, interrupts, resets, chip selects, etc, as well as operating as digital PWM outputs (coming soon).

Software Support

Use our Binho Mission Control cross-platform desktop GUI software to point-and-click to send I3C Transactions. Supernova also comes with a fully-baked python library to make automated testing a breeze. We even provide examples for real-time data streaming from I3C Targets using Jupyter Notebooks. For those looking to implement Supernova into their own software applications, we also offer a C/C++ SDK for direct device access.

The team at Microchip has produced an interactive online demo that pairs up their PIC18F16Q20 MCU acting as an I3C Target with the Binho Supernova serving as the I3C Controller. This demo highlights Supernova's I3C protocol capabilities, as well as its ability to be integrated into test fixtures and custom software stacks such as the framework that conducts this online demo in a web browser.
