FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CORE: Core module interconnects all the sub-modules in the Master IP. Ports of core module are the top level ports for the Master IP. SCL clock is derived from i_clk based on prescaler value.

GLITCH FILTER: Glitch filter is used to remove the spikes shorted than 50ns in duration for Legacy I2C mode.

PRESCALER: Prescaler module is used to divide the system clock based on the given prescaler value to derive the serial clock (SCL) input for I3C.

MASTER FSM: Master FSM module process the commands once pending request from CSR and host controller bus is enabled.For write transfer master FSM will send slave address, R/W bit,Write data and waits for ACK/NACK from slave.

SLAVE FSM: Slave FSM module process MIPI I3C commands once Start is detected.Slave FSM responds to MIPI I3C commands ACK/NACK for Write transfer and Read data for read transfer.

START: Initially SCL and SDA lines remains High, all transactions begin with a START condition. Start module detects the start condition on bus based on SDA and SCL line.

STOP: All transitions terminates with stop condition. Stop is detected based on SCL and SDA line. When SDA line goes from LOW to HIGH and SCL remains high is considered as the Stop condition.

HDR EXIT RESTART: In HDR Mode all transfers terminates with HDR exit pattern or HDR Restart pattern. HDR Exit Restart module detects the HDR exit pattern or HDR Restart pattern.

CSR: CSR module has all the registers. The contents of the registers are decoded and assigned to its respective output ports based on its functionality.
