Reasons to choose i3C Basic IP
The Sensor Working Group created the MIPI Alliance standard known as i3C, which is pronounced: "eye-three-see." The name alludes to the bus's similarity to i2C because it is backwards compatible with i2C and uses the same two-wire SCL and SDA lines. (With some restrictions) You must belong to MIPI in order to receive the complete i3C standard. However, a publicly accessible subset of the full specification called MIPI i3C Basic IP is available for free download from the MIPI Alliance website. The MIPI Alliance released the i3C standard's first public version, version 1.0, in late 2017 . Prior to the formal release of the standard, members of the MIPI Alliance had access to it. MIPI i3C Basic v1.0 was released in October 2018. 2019 saw the release of MIPI i3C v1.1 in December. i3C uses less energy than i2C and offers a quicker bus speed, per the MIPI i3C Basic IP specification. i3C has a speed advantage over i2C because it can switch from an open-drain t...
