SPMI-CTRL: MIPI SPMI Controller or Target
The SPMI-CTRL IP core implements the MIPI System Power Management Interface (SPMI) v2.0 protocol, enabling efficient and standardized communication between power management ICs (PMICs) and other components in complex SoCs. It can operate as either a controller or a target, making it flexible for a wide range of designs. The core autonomously manages critical protocol tasks such as command execution, ACK/NACK responses, arbitration, and address/data parity, minimizing host processor involvement and reducing system overhead. Its architecture is optimized for reliability and interoperability, ensuring robust power control and communication in mobile, automotive, and IoT devices. Supporting both single-master and multi-master configurations, the SPMI-CTRL offers scalability to meet diverse system requirements. Easy integration with standard system buses and configurability make it a practical, high-performance solution for developers implementing advanced power management networks.
