Hi,

1. Does INTEL has an IP for I3C protocol?

2. Can i use Cyclone iV or V for implementing I3C interface?

Thanks,

Meital

    Hi,


    As of today, we have no I3C designs or documentation available, unfortunately the answer to your questions would be no.


    I have found a 3rd party that have an IP design using I3C by CAST, you may shift your contact to them:

    https://marketplace.intel.com/s/offering/a5b3b0000000zgNAAQ/i3cs-mipi-i3c-basic-slave-controller


    Also, I can check again with our internal team, please allow me around 2-3 days and get back to you.


    p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel Support are helpful, please feel free to give best answer or rate 4/5 survey.

      Thanks a lot!

      Please check again with your internal team. I will wait.

      Please reply to my second question. Does Cyclone iV is good enough to use for I3C implementation. Since it support 1.8V and my I3C interface is 1.8V i assume it is possible.

      Please advise,

      Thanks,

      Meital

      Thanks for the third party, but i need master slave controller.

      Do you have any IP of master slave one?

    Hi,


    As mentioned, we do not have the IP or documentation, thus you may need to rely on 3rd party IPs. For e.g I3C from MIPI:

    https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=mipi_i3c


    They have replaced the name usage for master to controller and slave to target respectively.


    As for your 2nd questions, I don't think the voltage is an issue, but they are others I3C specifications that need to be checked, for example dynamic switching which is a requirement for I3C, which unfortunately for Cyclone IV/V is not supported. I am not familiar with these terms nor the full I3C specification requirements.


    But if you may, you may still try contact the available 3rd party IPs devs to discuss how it can work on our devices, apart from that we are unable to provide further supports.


    I hope my suffice support have help you with your issue.
