  I3C is a two-wire two-way serial bus that is optimized for several Slave Devices sensor systems and controlled at a time by only a single I3C Master Device. I3C is compatible backward with several Legacy I2C devices, but I3C devices also support significantly higher speeds, new communication modes, and new device roles, with the ability to over time change device roles.   Up to 11 I3 Slave Devices can be supported by an I3C Bus. The maximum number of devices depends on the trace length, the capacitive load per controller, and the device types (I 3C vs I3C), as those factors influence the clock frequency demands. This feature is supported with the MIPI I3C Slave Controller: Using Push-Pull Legacy, two-wire serial interface up to 12.5 MHz Coexistence of I 2C equipment on the same bus (with some limitations) I 2C — like messaging with a single data rate (SDR) Messages mode for HDR-DDR Support for in-band breakage Support Hot-Join Control of time Asynchronous fashion 0 timing...

The MIPI I3C specification relies on the I2C ecosystem and capabilities while retaining the two-wire serial interface, enable system designers to connect a wider range of sensors to a device while reducing electricity consumption and component and costs of implementation. Moreover, using an I3C master , manufacturers can combine a range of sensors from different suppliers to provide new features while maintaining long battery life and economical systems. The MIPI I3C specification ensures backward I2C-compatibility and allows for the coexistence of traditional I2C slave devices with the same interface as new MIPI I3C-specification devices. Within the 2-wire interface, the MIPI I3C specification provides band interference, significantly reducing the pin and signal number of the device and permitting the integration of additional sensors within a device. The MIPI I3C master offers higher data performance in comparison with I2C while maintaining low logic complexity using standard I...
