5.8.9.1. Guidelines for External SDA and SCL Signals via HPS I/O in the Board Design
I3C bus operates in both open-drain and push-pull modes. Pull-ups are required during open-drain mode to make sure that the bus is pulled high when no device on the bus is pulling it low. The following figures show the pull-up resistors on the I3C bus.
The I3C controller can support up to 8 slave devices, but the actual number depends on factors like trace length, capacitive load per device, and the device types (I2C versus I3C), as these impact clock frequency requirements. For bus load capacitance up to 50pF, Intel recommends using a 1kΩ pull-up resistor.
Intel recommends that you use the IBIS model to verify the electrical performance of your design. Refer to the Agilex™ 5 Device HPS and SDM I/O IBIS Models.
For more information, refer to the Agilex™ 5 Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines for the respective functional pins.
