Product details
Overview
CY7C68013A-128AXC from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress Semiconductor) is a high-speed USB 2.0 peripheral controller integrating an enhanced 8051 microprocessor, USB 2.0 transceiver, serial interface engine (SIE), and General Programmable Interface (GPIF) in a single 128-pin TQFP package. It delivers up to 53 MB/s data throughput, supports four programmable BULK/INTERRUPT/ISOCHRONOUS endpoints with double/triple/quad buffering, and operates at 12/24/48 MHz CPU clock. It is widely deployed in USB-to-ATA, USB-to-FPGA, and legacy interface bridge applications requiring bus-powered operation and firmware flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C68013A-128AXC datasheet, CY7C68013A-128AXC pinout, CY7C68013A-128AXC application, or CY7C68013A-128AXC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16 KB on-chip RAM, 40 GPIOs, 8-/16-bit external data interface, I²C controller (100/400 kHz), and GPIF waveform programmability - all critical for glueless interfacing with ASICs, DSPs, and storage controllers.
Technical Context
The CY7C68013A implements a hardware-accelerated USB 2.0 stack via its Smart SIE, offloading protocol handling (including SETUP/data phase separation, PID generation, CRC checking, and endpoint arbitration) from the 8051 core. Its 48-MHz-capable 8051 executes firmware from internal RAM (downloaded over USB or loaded from EEPROM) and features two USARTs, three timers, expanded interrupts, and dual data pointers.
GPIF operates as an autonomous state-machine-based interface controller supporting synchronous/asynchronous 8-/16-bit bus protocols with up to six RDY inputs and six CTL outputs. The integrated I²C controller runs at nominal 100 kHz or 400 kHz (measured ~85 kHz / ~300 kHz), and ECC generation is built-in for SmartMedia interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB peripheral controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C68014A-128AXC | Same pinout and firmware compatibility; lower suspend current (100 µA vs. 300 µA) due to optimized power gating. | Battery-powered devices where ultra-low standby power is mandatory (e.g., portable medical sensors). | Select when battery life >2× longer in suspend is required; otherwise, CY7C68013A offers identical functionality at lower unit cost. |
| FX2LP-CY7C68013A-100AXC | 100-pin TQFP variant; same silicon, reduced GPIO count (40 → 32), no PORTA[7:0] - fewer address/data lines. | Space-constrained designs needing USB 2.0 peripheral control but with simpler external interface (e.g., single 8-bit bus). | Choose for smaller footprint and lower PCB layer count when full 40-GPIO capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with CY7C68014A-128AXC, the CY7C68013A-128AXC trades 200 µA higher suspend current for lower cost and identical active-mode performance; versus the 100-pin variant, it adds 8 GPIOs and full 16-bit bus support - critical for ATA and high-throughput FPGA interfaces.

FAQ
What boot methods does the CY7C68013A-128AXC support?
The CY7C68013A-128AXC supports three boot modes: (1) firmware loaded from external EEPROM via I²C on power-up, (2) firmware downloaded over USB into internal RAM during enumeration, and (3) execution from external memory mapped via the 16-bit address/data bus. All modes are selectable via the MODE pins (PIN 1–3) at reset.
Can the CY7C68013A-128AXC operate as a USB host?
No. The CY7C68013A-128AXC is a USB 2.0 peripheral-only controller. It lacks OTG capability, host controller logic, or VBUS sensing circuitry. It must be connected to a USB host (e.g., PC, SoC) and cannot initiate transactions or enumerate other USB devices.
How many endpoints does the CY7C68013A-128AXC support, and what types?
The CY7C68013A-128AXC supports five endpoints: four programmable endpoints (BULK, INTERRUPT, or ISOCHRONOUS) with double/triple/quad buffering, plus one fixed 64-byte BULK/INTERRUPT endpoint. Endpoint 0 is reserved for CONTROL transfers and is not user-programmable.
Is the GPIF interface capable of synchronous and asynchronous operation?
Yes. The GPIF supports both synchronous (using IFCLK as reference) and asynchronous (using external RDY/CTL signals) timing modes. Waveform descriptors define exact setup/hold times, pulse widths, and state transitions - enabling precise emulation of ATA, EPP, and custom parallel protocols without external logic.
