Overview
CY7C68013A-56BAXCT from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress Semiconductor) is a high-speed USB 2.0 peripheral controller integrating a USB 2.0 transceiver, Smart Serial Interface Engine (SIE), enhanced 8051 microcontroller, and General Programmable Interface (GPIF) in a single 56-pin QFN package. It delivers up to 53 MB/s data throughput, supports 48/24/12 MHz CPU operation, and features 16 KB on-chip RAM, four programmable endpoints with double/triple/quad buffering, and 3.3-V operation with 5-V tolerant I/Os. It is widely used in USB-to-ATA, USB video capture, and legacy interface conversion systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C68013A-56BAXCT datasheet, CY7C68013A-56BAXCT pinout, CY7C68013A-56BAXCT application, or CY7C68013A-56BAXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its USB 2.0 Hi-Speed certification (TID #40460272), GPIF waveform programmability, suspend current of 300 µA (typ), 8-bit/16-bit external data interface capability, and fit/form/function compatibility with CY7C68013 FX2.
Technical Context
The CY7C68013A implements a hardware-accelerated USB 2.0 protocol stack via its Smart SIE, offloading enumeration, token handling, and error recovery from the 8051 core. Its integrated PLL generates 480 MHz for the transceiver while deriving 48/24/12 MHz clocks for the CPU via programmable dividers.
GPIF operates as an autonomous state-machine-based interface engine supporting up to six RDY inputs and six CTL outputs, enabling direct glueless connection to ATA, EPP, PCMCIA, or custom ASICs without external logic. Endpoint FIFOs support master/slave operation with automatic 8-/16-bit bus width adaptation and ECC generation for smart media interfaces.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C68014A-56BAXCT | Identical pinout and firmware compatibility; lower suspend current (100 µA typ) optimized for battery-powered use. | Preferred for portable USB devices requiring <100 µA sleep current; same footprint but different power profile. | Select when battery life is critical and system can tolerate tighter voltage regulation for low-IDD. |
| FX2LP CY7C68013A-128AXC | 128-pin TQFP package with 40 GPIOs and external memory interface; same core and firmware. | Required for designs needing >24 GPIOs or external program memory; larger footprint and higher pin count. | Choose when expanding I/O count or adding external flash/ROM is necessary for complex firmware. |
Compared with CY7C68013A-56BAXCT, the CY7C68014A variant offers lower suspend current at identical functionality, while the 128-pin variant trades compactness for expanded I/O and memory flexibility - selection depends strictly on power budget and board space constraints.

FAQ
Is CY7C68013A-56BAXCT pin-compatible with the original CY7C68013 FX2?
Yes, CY7C68013A-56BAXCT is fully pin-compatible, object-code-compatible, and functionally compatible with the CY7C68013 FX2 in the 56-pin package. It retains identical pin assignments for USB, GPIF, FIFO, and I/O signals, allowing drop-in replacement without PCB redesign. Firmware compiled for FX2 runs unchanged on FX2LP, though new features like enhanced GPIF descriptors require updated initialization code.
What are the supported USB boot methods for this device?
CY7C68013A-56BAXCT supports three boot modes: (1) firmware download via USB into internal RAM (default after reset), (2) loading from external I²C EEPROM (address 0x50), and (3) execution from external memory via the 8-/16-bit data bus (128-pin package only). The 56-pin variant uses internal RAM or EEPROM boot; no external memory boot option is available due to pin count limitations.
Does this device require an external crystal, and what are the specifications?
Yes, CY7C68013A-56BAXCT requires a 24-MHz ±100 ppm parallel-resonant fundamental-mode crystal with 500-µW drive level and 12-pF ±5% load capacitance. This crystal feeds the on-chip oscillator and PLL, which generates the 480-MHz USB PHY clock and derived 48/24/12-MHz CPU clocks. No internal RC oscillator is provided; crystal omission prevents USB enumeration and CPU operation.
Can the GPIF interface be reconfigured dynamically during runtime?
Yes, GPIF waveform descriptors are stored in internal RAM and can be rewritten by the 8051 firmware at runtime. This allows dynamic switching between multiple interface protocols (e.g., ATA and SRAM) without reset or reprogramming. Descriptor changes take effect immediately upon GPIF reload command, enabling adaptive peripheral behavior based on host commands or sensor inputs.
