I3C Autonomous Slave

The I3C Autonomous Slave controller is intended for simple, data acquisition types of applications where a microprocessor is not needed to process the data. Instead, data is exchanged via a simple set of register interfaces to the application and the controller autonomously manages all of the communication to an upstream I3C Master.

APPLICATIONS

• Mechanical sensing (Gyroscopes, MEMS, etc.)
• Environmental sensing (Light, pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.)
• Biometrics (Fingerprinting, glucose, heart rate, breathalyzer, etc.)
• Communication (Near-field sensors, infrared remotes, etc.)
