// our edge
We don't just follow the I3C spec.
We don't watch from the sidelines. Plugfest after plugfest, our team is in the room where vendor I3C implementations come together — finding edge cases, debugging quirks, and validating real silicon against the spec.
// plugfest
4 years in a row at the MIPI I3C Plugfest.
We brought the analyzer to every I3C Plugfest since 2022 to confirm its performance against existing and upcoming I3C devices — the strongest proof that the analyzer reads real silicon correctly, not just spec-compliant captures.
