Product details
Overview
CY8C20110-SX2I from Cypress Semiconductor is a 10-button capacitive touch controller with integrated LED dimming PWM, operating from 2.4–2.9 V, 3.1–3.6 V, or 4.75–5.25 V supply, delivering 1.5 mA active current and 4 µA deep sleep current, used in backlight control for LCD monitors and portable DVD players.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C20110-SX2I datasheet, CY8C20110-SX2I pinout, CY8C20110-SX2I application, or CY8C20110-SX2I equivalent, key selection criteria include I2C-configurable CapSense sensitivity, 15-step LED dimming per GPIO, nonvolatile register storage, interrupt-driven wake capability, and support for wide sensor capacitance (1–4.7 nF).
Technical Context
The device integrates a noise-immune capacitive sensing core with RF/AC immunity and low radiated EMC, coupled with an I2C-configurable control engine that stores settings in on-chip nonvolatile memory for automatic power-on initialization.
It supports four distinct LED dimming modes-intensity change on button toggle, flash on press, hold after transition, and intensity toggle-each programmable via I2C registers, with all 10 GPIOs capable of PWM output and configurable as CapSense inputs or digital I/O.

Pinout & Package
Available in 16-pin QFN (3 × 3 × 0.6 mm, no e-pad) and 16-pin SOIC packages. Pin functions are fully configurable via I2C; GP0[0]–GP0[4] and GP1[0]–GP1[4] serve dual roles as CapSense inputs or GPIOs with PWM capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GP0[0]–GP0[4], GP1[0]–GP1[4] | Configurable GPIO / CapSense Input | All 10 pins support PWM dimming and capacitive sensing; GP1[1]/GP1[2] excluded from LED drive due to factory power-up behavior |
| I2C SCL / I2C SDA | I2C Interface | Supports 1.8 V–5.25 V signaling with internal pull-up option and 400 kbps operation |
| XRES | Reset Input | Active-high external reset with internal pull-down - enables system-level synchronization |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTCH101-I/ST | 8-button capacity, no integrated LED dimming, 2.0–5.5 V operation, 2.5 µA deep sleep | Lacks PWM output; requires external LED driver for backlight control | Select when only touch sensing is needed and LED control is handled elsewhere |
| TTP223B-BA6 | Single-button fixed-function IC, no I2C, no nonvolatile storage, 2.0–5.5 V, 1.5 µA sleep | Not reconfigurable; limited to basic ON/OFF toggle with no dimming or multi-button support | Select for ultra-low-cost, single-key applications where flexibility is unnecessary |
Compared with MTCH101-I/ST and TTP223B-BA6, CY8C20110-SX2I uniquely combines 10-button sensing, 15-step LED dimming on all GPIOs, and field-reprogrammable configuration - making it optimal for integrated UI subsystems requiring both input and visual feedback.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of capacitive buttons supported by CY8C20110-SX2I?
CY8C20110-SX2I supports up to 10 capacitive buttons. Its pinout provides 10 configurable GPIOs (GP0[0]–GP0[4] and GP1[0]–GP1[4]), all usable as CapSense inputs. The device's internal sensing engine is calibrated for 10-button operation, and its nonvolatile memory stores dedicated parameters for each channel.
Does CY8C20110-SX2I require an external crystal or resonator?
No. CY8C20110-SX2I uses an internal precision oscillator for timing; no external crystal, resonator, or clock source is required. The device achieves stable CapSense scanning and I2C communication using its on-chip RC oscillator, which is factory-trimmed for accuracy across voltage and temperature.
Can CY8C20110-SX2I drive LEDs directly without external transistors?
Yes - all 10 GPIOs support strong-drive LED output with built-in current capability sufficient for typical indicator LEDs (up to ~10 mA per pin). However, GP1[1] and GP1[2] must be avoided for LED drive due to factory power-up blinking behavior, as documented in the datasheet errata.
How is I2C address configured on CY8C20110-SX2I?
The I2C address is fully configurable via the I2C_ADDR register and stored in nonvolatile memory. No external strapping resistors are needed. The default address is 0x38, but users can assign any valid 7-bit address (0x00–0x7F) through I2C write commands during configuration or runtime.
