InvenSense Taps Silvaco for Adding I3C Capabilities to Its World Leading Sensor Products


Silvaco, Inc. announced today that InvenSense, Inc., a TDK group company, has licensed its I3C technology for use in its world leading sensor products. Silvaco provides a variety of feature rich, highly configurable I3C products that are suitable for wide range of sensor-related applications:

  • I3C Dual Role Master allows I3C master capabilities to be added to any SoC
  • I3C Advanced Slave allows I3C slave capabilities to be added to any SoC
  • I3C Autonomous Slave allows I3C slave capabilities to be added to chip designs without the need for an embedded microprocessor, such as simple sensors and data acquisition applications
  • I3C Subsystem is complete subsystem based on the ARM (News - Alert)® Cortex-M0 processor including the entire processor complex, AMBA® bus infrastructure, key peripherals, and the I3C Dual Role Master to give customers a complete out-of-the-box SoC with I3C capabilities

"We are pleased to work with Silvaco to integrate its Advanced Slave core into our products," sid Sarvesh Shrivastava, Director, IC Design, InvenSense, Inc. "The extensive list of features combined with the core's low power and area make it ideal for cost-sensitive sensor applications."



"I3C is one of the hottest standards we are seeing today, with heavy adoption all over the world," said Warren Savage, General Manager of Silvaco's IP Division. "Working with leading companies such as InvenSense help us insure that we are building high quality products that meet the stringent needs of leading edge semiconductor products."
