Two wires. That is all I3C gives you. Two wires carrying a clock and a data stream, the same physical interface engineers have been probing since I2C arrived in 1982....
There’s a particular kind of engineering post-mortem that nobody wants to sit through. The one where a device passed every single lab test, shipped to a customer, and then failed...
There is a particular kind of silence that every hardware engineer dreads. Not the silence before a presentation or before a code review. The silence after you apply power to...

MCTP standardizes how management messages are structured and addressed. I3C provides the physical transport that carries them. When they’re combined, engineers deal with two initialization sequences, two addressing schemes, and...
In the short decade that I3C has existed, it has overhauled microchip communications. And with increased adoption of I3C around the world, debugging and validation have become more and more...
Dynamic Address Assignment, or DAA, the process by which an I3C controller assigns unique addresses to every device on the bus, is one of I3C’s most powerful features. It’s also...
The change to the more modern Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 4.1 marks a turning point in the data architecture of mobile and automotive systems. The protocol can deliver on-device generative...
You have spent eighteen months on your new 5G flagship. Your RF department has adjusted your antennas to surgical accuracy. In laboratory, conditions controlled, the connection is an illusion. Yet...
You have just thrown away a small fortune in Gen 5 server chips. The datasheet promised 32 GT/s. Your promotional staff are already trumpeting about record throughput. But in the...
