I3C Protocol Analyzer

The MIPI I3C Bus interface is an evolutionary specification that builds upon the legacy I2C standard. The aim is to reduce the number of physical pins used in sensor system integration, and supports low-power, high-speed digital communication typically associated with UART and SPI interfaces, so that I3C becomes a single interface combining all the capabilities of the legacy interfaces.

The I3C Protocol interface is expected to play a fundamental role in streamlining sensor integration in smartphones, Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and wearables. I3C can also be used to manage complex systems as and when designers migrate to a common management transport which drastically reduces cost and latency in such complex systems while also enabling new capabilities.

I3C Protocol Analyzer (PGY-I3C-EX-PD) is the Protocol Analyzer with multiple features to capture and debug communication between host and design under test. I3C Serial bus interface is emerging as a chosen interface for all future sensor connectivity in mobile phone and automotive Industry. This could also be chosen for low cost, reliable interface for future embedded electronic applications to address the new data intensive applications.
