The proliferation of sensors in mobile wireless and mobile-influenced products has created significant design challenges. The MIPI I3C/SMBus interface has been developed to ease sensor system design architectures in mobile wireless products by providing a fast, low cost, low power, two-wire digital interface for sensors.
MIPI I3C Verification IP (VIP) supports the MIPI I3C sensor interface specification used for smartphones, wearables, IoT devices, and automotive camera systems based on MIPI CSI-2.
I3C/I2C models support the host controller interface (HCI)—a host software and host bus adaptor for communicating with the I3C controllers over local bus architectures like AHB.
I3C-Xactor works in conjunction with AMBA AHB models to comprise a complete system-level environment. MIPI CSI-2 uses I3C for the CCI interface.
