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.

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.

CSR: CSR module has all the Host controller registers, Ring header registers for DMA mode and PIO registers for PIO mode. The contents of registers are decoded and assigned to its respective output ports based on its functionality.
