SmartDV’s MIPI I3C Slave IP is a silicon-proven, fully featured I3C peripheral solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring efficient, low-pin-count connectivity to an I3C master controller across mobile, IoT, automotive, and embedded applications. Fully compliant with MIPI I3C v1.2, it delivers complete slave-side I3C functionality with support for all standard and high data rate messaging modes, flexible multi-master and multi-slave bus topologies, and seamless legacy I2C device co-existence on the same bus.
Designed for the diverse connectivity requirements of modern peripheral SoC designs, the IP supports the full HDR messaging suite including HDR-DDR, HDR-TSL, and HDR-TSP modes alongside In-Band Interrupt and Hot-Join capabilities, giving peripheral teams a production-tested, spec-complete I3C slave implementation that maximizes bus efficiency while minimizing pin count and power consumption. Its support for both Dynamic and Static addressing and I3C address arbitration makes it equally well-suited for new I3C native designs and mixed I2C/I3C legacy integration scenarios.
Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its parameterized architecture and clean host interface enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and target applications.
