Product details
Overview
CY7C65211A-24LTXI from Infineon is a USB 2.0 Full-Speed (12 Mbps) single-channel bridge IC supporting UART, I²C, and SPI protocols with integrated CAPSENSE™ capacitive sensing, battery charger detection (BCD Rev. 1.2), and RS485 interface capability. It operates from 1.71 V to 5.5 V, features 512-byte configuration flash, 256-byte TX/RX buffers per serial interface, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in a 24-pin QFN package.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C65211A-24LTXI datasheet, CY7C65211A-24LTXI pinout, CY7C65211A-24LTXI application, or CY7C65211A-24LTXI equivalent, this device serves as a configurable USB-to-serial interface for legacy peripheral modernization, embedded system debugging, and touch-enabled industrial HMI designs requiring robust BCD and multi-protocol bridging.
Technical Context
The CY7C65211A integrates a USB Serial Interface Engine (SIE) with on-die 48-MHz oscillator and dual internal oscillators (48 MHz and 32 kHz), enabling autonomous USB enumeration and low-power suspend/resume without external clock sources. Its serial communication block supports simultaneous protocol selection-UART up to 3 Mbps with hardware flow control (CTS/RTS/DTR/DSR), SPI master/slave at 3 MHz/1 MHz, and I²C up to 400 kHz with multi-master support.
CAPSENSE™ subsystem includes five dedicated button inputs with auto-tuning algorithm and GPIO-linked sensing nodes, while BCD logic implements peripheral-side USB Battery Charging Specification v1.2 detection only-no host-side charging negotiation. The device supports both bus-powered and self-powered configurations with integrated voltage regulation and 2.2 kV HBM ESD protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| USB Speed | Full-Speed (12 Mbps); enables CDC-class virtual COM port operation without external PHY or timing components. |
| UART Max Data Rate | 3 Mbps; supports high-throughput debugging links and industrial telemetry over RS232/RS422/RS485. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | Up to 400 kHz; compatible with standard-mode and fast-mode I²C peripherals including sensors and EEPROMs. |
| SPI Master Rate | 3 MHz; sufficient for driving displays, ADCs, and digital potentiometers without external clock scaling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB-to-serial bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FTDI FT232H | Single-channel USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480 Mbps); no CAPSENSE™ or BCD; supports JTAG/SPI/I²C/UART but requires external crystal. | Lacks integrated touch sensing and battery detection; better suited for high-bandwidth test equipment than embedded HMI. | Select when >12 Mbps throughput or JTAG boundary scan is required; avoid if CAPSENSE™ or BCD is mandatory. |
| Microchip MCP2221A | USB 2.0 Full-Speed (12 Mbps); includes DAC and analog comparator; no RS485 support or CAPSENSE™; smaller 20-pin QFN. | Missing RS485 physical layer support and auto-tuning capacitive sensing-unsuitable for noisy industrial or touch-centric designs. | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer USB-I²C adapters where analog features outweigh protocol breadth. |

FAQ
Does CY7C65211A-24LTXI require an external crystal?
No. The device integrates a factory-trimmed 48-MHz oscillator and a 32-kHz low-power oscillator, eliminating the need for external crystals or resonators. This reduces bill-of-materials cost and PCB area while improving startup reliability across temperature ranges.
Can CY7C65211A support RS485 half-duplex communication?
Yes. The UART interface supports RS485 half-duplex mode using GPIO-controlled direction control (DE/RE signals). External RS485 transceivers such as MAX3072E or SN65HVD72 connect directly to UART_TX/RX and GPIO pins for automatic direction management.
How is CAPSENSE™ tuning performed on CY7C65211A?
Tuning is executed via Infineon's free PSoC Creator-based configuration utility running on Windows. The utility performs real-time auto-calibration of baseline, sensitivity, and noise thresholds, then writes optimized parameters to the device's 512-byte flash memory for persistent operation.
Is CY7C65211A-24LTXI compatible with Linux kernel 5.15?
Yes. The device uses standard CDC ACM class drivers supported natively in Linux kernels ≥2.6.35. No proprietary drivers are required-plug-and-play enumeration as /dev/ttyACM0 occurs automatically, with full support for termios-based baud rate and framing configuration.
