SmartDV’s MIPI I3C Master IP is a silicon-proven, high-efficiency solution compliant with the MIPI I3C v1.2 specification, designed to streamline sensor connectivity in mobile, automotive, and IoT applications. It merges the key advantages of I²C and SPI, offering higher data throughput, dynamic address assignment, in-band interrupts, hot-join capability, and minimal pin usage. Optional support for I3C HCI (Host Controller Interface) enables simplified software integration and improved system performance.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. It provides seamless integration into SoC designs that demand scalable, low-power sensor communication with backward compatibility to legacy I²C devices.
