4 Conclusion

The I3C Target module on the PIC microcontroller is well suited for the next generation high speed applications requiring I3C functionality while maintaining backward compatibility with I²C/SMBus. Due to the versatile nature of the PIC microcontrollers, they can provide a low-cost solution to assist with system and power management for SSD and memory module applications. Due to the presence of additional communication protocols, PIC microcontrollers can also act as a bridge device between I3C and I²C/SMBus/SPI/Analog channels.
