The I3C-T core implements a versatile MIPI® Improved Inter Integrated Circuit (I3C) Target controller core suitable for any I3C bus topology & compliant with the latest MIPI I3C BasicSM specification. The highly featured target-only core communicates in Single Data Rate (SDR) mode, but can tolerate High Data Rate (HDR) traffic. It can coexist and communicate with legacy I2C devices, and it can optionally be configured to operate as such in an I3C or I2C bus. The I3C-T needs no firmware support to parse and execute the broadcast or direct Common Command Codes (CCCs) relevant to I3C Basic Targets.
