Chip Interfaces and Prodigy Technovations validate I3C Target at MIPI Plugfest in Poland

Copenhagen, September 29, 2025 – Chip Interfaces, a leader in high‑performance digital IP cores, collaborated with Prodigy Technovations during the recent MIPI I3C Plugfest in Warsaw to evaluate and refine its I3C target implementation under realistic, multi‑vendor operating conditions.

Real‑world validation drives actionable improvements

At the Plugfest, Chip Interfaces’ I3C target was subjected to a wide range of interoperability exercises — from link establishment, with various methods for address assignment, with direct, group and broadcast type messaging including tests for in-band interrupts and hot join, and validation with Prodigy Technovations Conformance Test Suite (CTS). Tested against multiple external controllers and analyzers in realistic, multi‑vendor conditions, the target consistently maintained reliable communication and validated its core functional strengths.

Conformance checks revealed edge‑case behavior, offering precise engineering feedback that will be used to drive rapid firmware and RTL refinements. These inputs will drive continuous improvements in Chip Interfaces I3C target IP.

“Partnering with Prodigy at the Plugfest allowed us to follow our target’s performance from the very first stimulus through detailed protocol traces in a live, waveform views” said Piotr Koziuk, Product Manager at Chip Interfaces. “Each confirmed result built our confidence, while any anomalies gave us precise guidance on what to fine‑tune next.”

  “ Working together in the Plugfest environment gave us a valuable opportunity to evaluate Chip Interfaces’ implementation in real, mixed-vendor scenarios. said Brijesh Chandrala, Engineering Manager of the Prodigy Technovations. “The results were extremely encouraging. We successfully demonstrated our CTS capability along with advanced features designed to accelerate silicon debugging. These will enable our customers to identify and resolve issues much faster, significantly reducing overall debugging time and improving time-to-market.”   

Ongoing commitment to MIPI® standards

Chip Interfaces views events like the MIPI Plugfest as essential for ensuring that its IP cores not only meet protocol specifications, but also perform reliably when integrated into complex system designs. The experience with Prodigy Technovations underlines the company’s transparent, engineering‑driven approach to delivering robust, interoperable I3C solutions to SoC developers and OEMs worldwide.
