US Patent 10031882 Sensor bus communication system

Described is an I3C Repeater. The I3C Repeater may have a first circuitry with an I3C interface, a second circuitry with an I2C interface, and a datapath circuitry coupled to the first circuitry and the second circuitry. The second circuitry may be operable to convert a transaction received on the I2C interface into a transaction for the I3C interface, and to convert a transaction received on the I3C interface into a transaction for the I2C interface. The I3C Repeater may also have additional circuitries operable to convert transactions received on one of an SPI interface, a UART interface, and a Debug bus interface into transactions for the I3C interface, and vice-versa.
