Product details
Overview
CY7C68000A-56LFXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a USB 2.0 UTMI-compliant transceiver IC implementing physical-layer serialization/deserialization between USB differential signaling (DPLUS/DMINUS) and parallel host interface. It supports both High Speed (480 Mbps) and Full Speed (12 Mbps) modes, integrates internal 1.5 kΩ DPLUS pull-up and on-die impedance termination, operates at 3.3 V, and interfaces with Intel Monahans application processors via 8-bit @ 60 MHz or 16-bit @ 30 MHz parallel bus.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C68000A-56LFXCT datasheet, CY7C68000A-56LFXCT pinout, CY7C68000A-56LFXCT application, or CY7C68000A-56LFXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include UTMI v1.05 compliance, tristate-enabled UTMI bus sharing capability, synchronous field/EOP detection/generation, integrated clock recovery and bit stuffing logic, and dual-package availability (56-pin QFN/VFBGA).
Technical Context
The CY7C68000A implements a full-featured USB 2.0 PHY with integrated PLL-based clock generation from a 24 MHz crystal, supporting dynamic switching between HS and FS signaling via XcvrSelect and TermSelect control pins. Its analog front-end includes factory-trimmed 90 Ω differential termination and internal 1.5 kΩ DPLUS pull-up, eliminating external resistors.
It provides synchronous parallel interface timing with CLK-driven RXValid/TXValid handshaking, LineState[1:0] synchronized to CLK for real-time bus state monitoring, and OpMode[1:0]-controlled test modes including soft disconnect and NRZI/bitsstuffing bypass - all while maintaining strict USB 2.0 electrical compliance in both operational states.

Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin QFN (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) and 56-pin VFBGA (4.5 mm × 4.5 mm, 0.4 mm pitch). Both packages support identical pin functions and electrical behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D[15:0] | Bidirectional data bus | 16-bit parallel interface; D[7:0] used in 8-bit mode; D[15:8] active only when DataBus16_8 = 1 |
| CLK | Output clock | Synchronous timing reference for RXValid/TXValid handshaking; 30 MHz (16-bit) or 60 MHz (8-bit) |
| XcvrSelect | Input control | Selects transceiver core: 0 = HS, 1 = FS; must coordinate with TermSelect |
| TermSelect | Input control | Selects termination: 0 = HS (SE0), 1 = FS (1.5 kΩ pull-up enabled) |
| Suspend / Tri_state | Input control | Suspend reduces power; Tri_state (enabled only during Suspend) tristates all I/Os for UTMI bus sharing |
| LineState[1:0] | Output status | Synchronized combinatorial outputs reflecting real-time DMINUS/DPLUS states (00=SE0, 01=J, 10=K, 11=SE1) |
| XTALIN / XTALOUT | Crystal interface | 24 MHz crystal connection points; internal oscillator + PLL generate system clocks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB 2.0 UTMI transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISP1504A | Single-supply 3.3 V operation; no internal crystal oscillator - requires external 48 MHz clock | Lacks integrated 24 MHz crystal interface and PLL; higher external component count | Preferred where board-level 48 MHz clock is already available and crystal area is constrained |
| USB3300 | Supports HS/FS/LS modes; includes integrated USB switch and overvoltage protection | Broader speed coverage but larger footprint; not optimized for Monahans co-design | Chosen when Low Speed device support or enhanced ESD robustness (>8 kV HBM) is required |
Compared with ISP1504A and USB3300, the CY7C68000A-56LFXCT delivers tighter integration for Monahans-based designs through its factory-characterized UTMI interface, embedded crystal oscillator/PLL, and tristate-enabled bus sharing - reducing PCB area and validation effort in mobile handset applications.

FAQ
What is the function of the Tri_state pin, and when can it be asserted?
The Tri_state pin places all I/Os and outputs into high-impedance state, enabling UTMI bus sharing with other devices. It can only be asserted while the device is in Suspend mode (Suspend = 0). Assertion occurs within ~50 ns; de-assertion restores drive capability in ~50 ns. Unused inputs must be tied HIGH or LOW to prevent floating states.
Does CY7C68000A-56LFXCT support Low Speed (1.5 Mbps) USB operation?
No. The CY7C68000A-56LFXCT supports only Full Speed (12 Mbps) and High Speed (480 Mbps) USB 2.0 signaling modes. It explicitly excludes Low Speed operation per its functional specification and pin-level timing requirements, which are optimized for FS/HS only.
How does the device handle clock recovery and synchronization without an external reference?
The device uses an internal PLL that multiplies a 24 MHz crystal input (via XTALIN/XTALOUT) to generate precise 30 MHz or 60 MHz parallel interface clocks. USB serial clock recovery is performed digitally from the incoming DPLUS/DMINUS stream, eliminating need for external analog PLL components or clock data recovery ICs.
What is the role of ValidH in 16-bit versus 8-bit interface configurations?
In 16-bit mode (DataBus16_8 = 1), ValidH acts as an output indicating validity of D[15:8] during receive, or as an input confirming validity of D[15:8] during transmit. In 8-bit mode (DataBus16_8 = 0), ValidH is undefined. This signal enables byte-level flow control for partial-word transfers in high-throughput applications.
