THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AXI INTERCONNECTION INTERFACE

Image
Consider going back in time to the dawn of humanity. When you encounter someone who can't speak or can't understand you, it'll be both frightening and fascinating. Clearly, communication will be impossible unless you discover a way to communicate your separate meanings/intentions in a mutually acceptable manner. In the world of electronics, the same idea applies, as there are numerous sorts of interfaces among electronic equipment. As a result, an uniform communication protocol simplifies data translation in a system, particularly in a System-on-Chip (SoC) system with several systems.   With renowned AMBA Interconnects and standard or bespoke peripheral interfaces, SoC FPGAs such as Digital Blocks provide a versatile CPU programming interface and high-performance transfer rates. With IP releases addressing CPU AXI/AHB backbone DMA Engines, PCI Express DMA, Network Ethernet DMA, and Peripheral high/low data-rate DMA transfers, Digital Blocks DMA Controllers are feature-r...

WHY I3C BASIC IS PREFERRED MORE?

  The I3C communication protocol (pronounced eye-three-see) is a MIPI Alliance standard developed by Sensor Working Group. The name refers to the bus's resemblance to I2C, as it uses the identical two-wire SCL and SDA lines and is backward compatible with I2C. (with some caveats). To get the full I3C standard, you must be a member of MIPI. However, the MIPI Alliance website offers a free download of a publicly available subset of the full specification called MIPI I3C Basic .   MIPI I3C v1.0 was the first public release of the I3C standard by the MIPI Alliance in late 2017. Members of the MIPI Alliance had access to the standard prior to its official release. In October of 2018, MIPI I3C Basic v1.0 was released. In December of 2019, MIPI I3C v1.1 was released. According to the MIPI I3C Basic specification, I3C consumes significantly less energy and has a faster bus speed than I2C. The ability of I3C to transition from open-drain to push-pull drive in certain modes enables...
