MIPI I3C Addresses Sensor Integration Challenges
MIPI I3C supports the proliferation of sensors in mobile-connected products, giving developers a greater choice of design options, reduces system-level implementation costs, and helps shorten time-to-market for new applications.
MIPI I3C delivers these benefits by incorporating and advancing I2C, SPI and UART with a new approach. The solution is comprehensive and scalable, and provides a superset of features and functionalities while supporting legacy devices.
MIPI I3C specifies a chip-to-chip interface that can connect all sensors in a device to the application processor. It is implemented on a standard CMOS I/O using two wires. The specification achieves clock rates up to 12.5 MHz and provides options for higher performance, high-data rate modes. It uses a fraction of the power while providing more than an order of magnitude the bandwidth compared to I2C.
