Overview

The I2C Slave IP Core implements an I2C Slave fully compliant to the I2C-bus specification and user manual Rev. 5 – 9 October 2012 for Standard-mode, Fast-mode and Fast-mode Plus (Fm+).

The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) is a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus invented by Philips Semiconductor (now NXP Semiconductors). The I2C bus is typically used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers.

The I2C Master IP Core has been developed to DAL A according to the DO-254 / ED-80 and is accompanied by a Certification Kit. For lower DAL levels reduced documentation sets are available. The core is also available as a netlist for DAL D or projects not needing the full RTL source.

Safe Core Devices provides two separate IP Cores, one for the I2C Slave IP Core and one for the I2C Master IP Core. If the system needs to be capable of transmitting and receiving both cores can be instantiated in the target device.

Key features

From I2C to I3C: Evolution of Two-Wire Communication in Embedded Systems

The I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) Bus invented in 1980 by Philips Semiconductors (NXP Semiconductors today) was a massive step forward in simplifying communications in embedded systems. It is a simple two-wire interface for synchronous, multi-master/multi-slave, single ended serial communication. Fast forward 45 years to today and it is still widely used for attaching low speed peripheral Integrated Circuits (ICs), processors and microcontrollers. But silicon today has changed...

Maximizing the Usability of Your Chip Development: Design with Flexibility for the Future

Early in my career selling chips for Motorola Semiconductor, the ability to spin derivative microcontroller chips for a customer’s specific requirement was relatively straightforward. If the volume looked reasonable, we would tape-out a new chip with a few added features because mask costs and wafers were relatively inexpensive at the larger process nodes. The customer won by getting an MCU tailored to their specific need, and Motorola won by gaining a more committed customer plus another SKU that could be sold to other customers – boosting ROI. With the migration to higher cost FinFET nodes, those times are long gone as the economics no longer work.

MIPI CCI over I3C: Faster Camera Control for SoC Architects

Imagine a camera subsystem that responds in microseconds, consumes less power, and offers a more straightforward route to time-to-market. For SoC architects and IP integration teams, that vision is increasingly possible with MIPI Camera Control Interface (CCI) over I3C.
