Product details
Overview
CY7C65215-32LTXI from Infineon (formerly Cypress) is a USB 2.0 Full-Speed (12 Mbps) dual-channel bridge IC enabling PC connectivity for legacy peripherals via configurable UART/I2C/SPI interfaces. It integrates CAPSENSE™ capacitive touch sensing (up to 8 buttons), battery charger detection (BCD v1.2, Peripheral Detect only), and a 48-MHz internal oscillator. Used in medical devices, POS terminals, and industrial test equipment requiring robust USB-to-serial bridging with embedded touch control.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C65215-32LTXI datasheet, CY7C65215-32LTXI pinout, CY7C65215-32LTXI application, or CY7C65215-32LTXI equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel UART (up to 3 Mbps, 190-byte buffers), I2C/SPI master/slave support (400 kHz / 3 MHz), 17 GPIOs, 32-pin QFN (5 × 5 mm), and integrated BCD/USB termination - all operating from 1.71–5.5 V across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
This device implements a USB Serial Interface Engine (SIE) with dual Serial Communication Blocks (SCBs), each independently configurable as UART, SPI, or I2C. Each SCB includes dedicated 256-byte TX/RX FIFOs and supports hardware flow control (CTS/RTS/DTR/DSR) and error detection (parity, framing, overrun) on UART channels.
The integrated CAPSENSE™ subsystem uses SmartSense™ auto-tuning and links GPIOs directly to capacitive buttons; the JTAG interface operates at 400 kHz for firmware flashing. USB suspend/resume and WAKEUP signaling enable low-power system management in bus- or self-powered configurations.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB-serial bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FT4232H (FTDI) | Quad-channel USB-UART with 5 V tolerant I/O; no CAPSENSE™ or BCD; requires external crystal. | Higher channel count but lacks integrated touch sensing and battery charge detection. | Select when needing four independent UARTs and 5 V logic compatibility; avoid if CAPSENSE™ or BCD are required. |
| CY7C65213 (Infineon) | Single-channel variant; supports UART/I2C/SPI but no CAPSENSE™; smaller 24-pin QFN package. | Limited to one serial interface; no touch button support or unique serial number feature. | Select for cost-sensitive, single-peripheral designs where touch UI and dual-channel bridging are unnecessary. |
Compared with FT4232H and CY7C65213, CY7C65215-32LTXI uniquely combines dual-channel protocol flexibility, embedded capacitive touch, and USB Battery Charging detection in a single 32-pin QFN - making it optimal for space-constrained, feature-rich human-interface peripherals requiring industrial-grade reliability.

FAQ
Does CY7C65215-32LTXI support RS485 communication?
No. The CY7C65215 variant supports RS232 and RS422 only; RS485 is exclusive to the CY7C65215A version. This distinction is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet (Rev. *N, p.4). Hardware-level RS485 half-duplex transceiver control is not implemented in the CY7C65215 silicon.
Can the CAPSENSE™ functionality operate independently of the USB interface?
Yes. CAPSENSE™ can be configured and scanned using the onboard SCB peripherals without USB enumeration. The SmartSense™ auto-tuning algorithm runs autonomously after initialization, and GPIO-linked buttons generate interrupts or status flags readable over I2C or UART - enabling standalone touch operation during USB suspend or before host connection.
What is the maximum sustained UART baud rate supported with full error checking enabled?
The device supports up to 3 Mbps UART data rate with parity, framing, and overrun error detection fully active. This is verified under worst-case conditions (8N1 format, RTS/CTS flow control enabled) per Section 15.1 of the datasheet, with reliable operation confirmed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Is the internal 48-MHz oscillator sufficient for USB timing compliance without an external crystal?
Yes. The integrated oscillator meets USB Full-Speed timing jitter and stability requirements per USB 2.0 specification. No external crystal is needed - the oscillator is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated, eliminating BOM cost and layout complexity while maintaining USB-IF certification (TID 40001521).
