Product details
Overview
CY7C68013A-56PVXC from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress Semiconductor) is a USB 2.0 high-speed peripheral controller integrating an enhanced 8051 microprocessor, USB 2.0 transceiver, smart serial interface engine (SIE), 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, includes 16 KB on-chip RAM, and features four configurable BULK/INTERRUPT/ISOCHRONOUS endpoints with double/triple/quad buffering - enabling direct glueless interfacing to ATA, EPP, PCMCIA, or DSPs in portable video recorders and memory card readers.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C68013A-56PVXC datasheet, CY7C68013A-56PVXC pinout, CY7C68013A-56PVXC application, or CY7C68013A-56PVXC equivalent, key selection criteria include suspend current (300 µA typ), 56-pin QFN thermal performance, GPIF waveform descriptor programmability, I²C controller support (100/400 kHz), and compatibility with FX2-based firmware and hardware designs.
Technical Context
The CY7C68013A implements a dual-clock architecture: a 480-MHz PLL-derived PHY clock for USB 2.0 high-speed signaling (480 Mbps) and a separately configurable 12/24/48-MHz 8051 core clock. Its Smart SIE offloads full USB 1.1/2.0 protocol handling-including SETUP/data-stage separation, endpoint arbitration, and CRC generation-freeing the 8051 for application logic.
GPIF operates as a fully autonomous state-machine-driven interface with six CTL outputs, six RDY inputs, and programmable waveform descriptors stored in on-chip RAM. It supports synchronous/asynchronous 8-/16-bit bus timing, master/slave FIFO operation, and automatic ECC generation for SmartMedia interfaces - eliminating external glue logic in ATA or NAND flash controllers.

FAQ
Is CY7C68013A-56PVXC pin-compatible with the original CY7C68013?
Yes, CY7C68013A-56PVXC is fit-, form-, and function-compatible with the CY7C68013 FX2 in the 56-pin package. Pin assignments, register map, and firmware binary are identical; the "A" suffix denotes the low-power FX2LP revision with reduced suspend current and updated thermal characteristics.
What development tools are required to program the onboard 8051?
No external programmer is needed: firmware is loaded via USB using Cypress's EZ-USB FX2LP Development Kit (CY3684) or standard Windows/Linux host tools (CyConsole, USBlyzer). The chip supports USB upload from host, internal EEPROM boot, or external memory - all controlled by the MODE pin configuration at reset.
Can GPIF be used without modifying 8051 firmware?
Yes, GPIF operates autonomously once waveform descriptors are loaded into RAM. The 8051 configures GPIF registers and initiates transfers but does not manage individual bus cycles - enabling deterministic, CPU-free data movement between USB and external peripherals like FPGAs or ADCs.
Does CY7C68013A-56PVXC support USB 3.0 or SuperSpeed?
No, CY7C68013A-56PVXC is strictly a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480 Mbps) device and does not implement USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) signaling, lanes, or protocol layers. It complies fully with USB 2.0 specification Rev. 2.0 and is IF-certified for Hi-Speed operation only.
