Abstract
A hub device enables the deployment of I2C devices in a system that also includes I3C devices. The hub has an I3C-compliant interface with which it communicates with an I3C master(s) on an I3C bus, an I2C-compliant interface with which it communicates with I2C devices on an I2C bus, and logic and memory that supports the conversion between the two domains.
