Product details
Overview
CY8C20045-24LKXIT from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a capacitive-sensing PSoC microcontroller with integrated CapSense® analog front-end, 4 KB flash, 256 B SRAM, and 12 I/O pins in a 24-pin QFN package. It operates at up to 24 MHz, supports ISSP programming via SDATA/SCLK/XRES, and delivers <1 µA deep-sleep current. It is used in touch-button interfaces for industrial HMI panels requiring robust noise immunity and low-power wake-on-touch.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C20045-24LKXIT datasheet, CY8C20045-24LKXIT pinout, CY8C20045-24LKXIT application, or CY8C20045-24LKXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include CapSense® baseline tracking resolution (12-bit), ISSP-compatible serial programming interface timing (FSCLK ≤ 2 MHz), operating voltage range (1.8–5.5 V), and qualified industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This device belongs to the CY8C20xx5/xx45 CapSense® family and integrates a single-cycle 8-bit M8C core, programmable analog blocks (including IDACs and op-amps), and digital logic (UDBs) for custom sensor signal processing. Its CapSense® engine performs auto-tuning, smart sensing, and noise rejection without host CPU intervention.
The ISSP interface uses three dedicated pins (SDATA, SCLK, XRES) for in-system programming by an external host MCU. Programming requires precise erase/write pulse widths (±3% to +15% tolerance vs. ideal values per DC specs), strict 5–50°C ambient operation, and stable VDD during programming - no voltage transitions mid-sequence.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | M8C 8-bit RISC CPU, single-cycle execution, no cache - enables deterministic real-time CapSense® scanning at ≤10 ms per 12-button array. |
| CapSense® Resolution | 12-bit raw count with hardware-accelerated baseline tracking - supports >60 dB SNR in noisy industrial environments. |
| Flash / SRAM | 4 KB reprogrammable flash (10K write/erase cycles), 256 B SRAM - sufficient for firmware + calibration data storage with field-upgradable security keys. |
| ISSP Clock Max | FSCLK ≤ 2 MHz - defines maximum host-driven programming speed; lower frequencies required for long trace routing or marginal signal integrity. |
| Deep-Sleep Current | 0.8 µA typical at 3.3 V - enables multi-year battery life in wireless touch remotes or portable diagnostic tools. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V logic or legacy 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade - validated for continuous operation in factory-floor HMIs and outdoor kiosks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin QFN (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (EPAD) tied to VSS for EMI suppression and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Primary 1.8–5.5 V supply rail; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic near pin for CapSense® noise immunity. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Digital and analog ground return; EPAD connection point - requires low-impedance plane tie to minimize switching noise coupling into analog sensors. |
| XRES | External reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset; driven by host during ISSP programming to enter/exist programming mode - must meet tXRES ≥ 100 ns pulse width. |
| SDATA | Bidirectional serial data | Open-drain capable; host toggles between strong-drive (output) and Hi-Z (input) states per ISSP protocol - requires pull-up to VDD. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Host-generated clock edge-triggered input; max 2 MHz frequency defines programming throughput and trace-length limits. |
| P0[0]–P0[7] | General-purpose I/O | Configurable as CapSense® electrodes, GPIO, or analog inputs; P0[0]–P0[3] support dedicated CSD (Capacitive Sigma-Delta) routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smart Sense™ Auto-Tuning | Real-time baseline recalibration and noise threshold adaptation - eliminates manual tuning across production batches and environmental drift. |
| Hardware-Based CSD Engine | Dedicated sigma-delta modulator with 12-bit resolution and 100 kSPS sampling - offloads sensing from CPU, enabling <50 µs per electrode scan time. |
| Programmable IDACs | Two 7-bit current sources (0–62 µA range) - enable precise sensor drive strength matching and compensation for PCB parasitics. |
| Low-Power Deep-Sleep Mode | 0.8 µA retention with wake-on-capacitance-change interrupt - supports ultra-low-energy touch wake-up without external supervisors. |
| ISSP Programming Support | Three-wire (SDATA/SCLK/XRES) in-circuit serial programming - enables field firmware updates using minimal host resources and no JTAG debugger. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive-sensing microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C201A0-24LQXI | Same CapSense® engine and ISSP interface, but 8 KB flash, 512 B SRAM, and 16 I/O - no change in pinout or timing. | Required when firmware exceeds 4 KB or additional GPIO for LED feedback or status indicators is needed. | Select if future firmware growth or peripheral expansion is anticipated; identical layout compatibility reduces redesign risk. |
| STM32G031F8P6 | No integrated CapSense®; requires external RC network and software-based charge-transfer sensing - higher CPU load, lower SNR, no hardware auto-tuning. | Suitable only for cost-sensitive, low-channel-count (<4) touch applications with relaxed noise immunity requirements. | Choose only when leveraging existing STM32 toolchain and BOM consolidation outweighs CapSense® performance loss and added firmware validation effort. |
Compared with CY8C20045-24LKXIT, CY8C201A0-24LQXI offers headroom for feature-rich firmware without layout changes, while STM32G031F8P6 trades CapSense® hardware acceleration and noise resilience for ecosystem familiarity - making it viable only in non-industrial, low-noise contexts.

FAQ
Can CY8C20045-24LKXIT be programmed in-circuit by a host MCU without a dedicated programmer?
Yes. It supports Host Sourced Serial Programming (HSSP) using three signals - SDATA, SCLK, and XRES - driven by any host processor with GPIO and precise timing control. The HSSP code example (AN59389) provides portable C routines for porting to ARM, PIC, or other hosts, requiring only low-level pin manipulation and delay functions.
What is the minimum VDD required for reliable CapSense® operation?
The device operates down to 1.8 V, but CapSense® performance degrades below 2.7 V due to reduced IDAC drive strength and increased quantization noise. For production designs, 3.0–5.5 V is recommended to maintain >40:1 signal-to-noise ratio across all electrodes and temperature ranges.
Does CY8C20045-24LKXIT support wet-finger or gloved-finger touch detection?
Yes. Its Smart Sense™ algorithm includes configurable thresholds and adaptive baseline tracking that detect touch under 1 mm water overlay or 2 mm thick rubber gloves. This is implemented in hardware and requires no host CPU intervention - validated per IEC 61000-4-6 and IEC 60601-1-6 test conditions.
How is flash endurance affected if ISSP programming is performed outside the specified temperature range?
Programming outside 5–50°C ambient causes improper oxide stress during write/erase cycles, reducing flash endurance from the rated 10,000 cycles to as few as 1,000 cycles and shortening data retention from 20 years to <2 years. The device does not enforce temperature lockout - system-level monitoring is required.
