Frequently Asked Questions
What advantages does I3C provide over traditional I²C?
I3C offers significantly higher data rates (up to 12.5 MHz vs 3.4 MHz), dynamic address assignment, in-band interrupts eliminating separate IRQ lines, advanced power management, and enhanced error detection—all while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing I²C devices.
Can I3C and I²C devices coexist on the same bus?
Yes, I3C is designed for full backward compatibility with I²C devices. The MSO8000HD-I3C option can analyze mixed systems where both I3C and legacy I²C devices operate on the same bus simultaneously.
Does this option analyze the advanced I3C features like in-band interrupts?
Yes, the I3C option provides complete analysis of all advanced I3C features including in-band interrupts (IBI), dynamic address assignment (ENTDAA), Common Command Codes (CCCs), and high data rate modes (HDR).
Is I3C analysis included in the bundle package?
Yes, I3C analysis is included in the MSO8000HD-BND Protocol Analysis & Jitter Suite. The bundle provides 15 protocol analysis options plus advanced jitter analysis at a single price of $5,399 - saving 66% compared to purchasing options individually. As with all UNI-T software options, the bundle features a perpetual license with zero recurring fees, providing lifetime access without subscription costs that can save $10,000+ over the instrument's lifetime.
