I3C Protocol
MIPI I3C (Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a next-generation serial communication protocol that builds upon the widely-adopted I2C standard. Developed by the MIPI Alliance, I3C provides higher speeds, lower power consumption, and advanced features while maintaining backward compatibility with I2C devices.
I3C supports multiple data transfer modes including Standard Data Rate (SDR) up to 12.5 MHz, High Data Rate Double Data Rate (HDR-DDR), and other HDR modes. The protocol includes advanced features such as in-band interrupts (IBI), hot-join capability, dynamic address assignment, and comprehensive Common Command Code (CCC) support for device configuration and control.
I3C is rapidly gaining adoption in automotive, mobile, IoT, and industrial applications where higher bandwidth, lower power consumption, and advanced features are essential. Our tools provide comprehensive I3C support, enabling you to develop, test, and debug I3C implementations with confidence.
