Product details
Overview
CY8C20140-SX2IT from Infineon Technologies is a capacitive touch-sensing microcontroller based on the PSoC™ 1 architecture, integrating an 8-bit M8C core, on-chip CapSense® circuitry, and configurable analog/digital blocks. It supports up to 14 capacitive sensing inputs, operates at 24 MHz max, features 8 KB flash and 512 B SRAM, and targets low-power human interface applications such as touch buttons and sliders in consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C20140-SX2IT datasheet, CY8C20140-SX2IT pinout, CY8C20140-SX2IT application, or CY8C20140-SX2IT equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated CapSense® charge-transfer sensing engine, programmable I/O drive strength (up to 25 mA), internal 1.024 V reference, and support for I²C and SPI communication interfaces.
Technical Context
The CY8C20140-SX2IT implements a dedicated hardware-based CapSense® block that performs auto-calibrated charge-transfer capacitance measurement without CPU intervention, enabling ultra-low-power wake-on-touch operation. Its M8C CPU executes code from flash with single-cycle instruction execution for real-time sensor response.
It includes a programmable analog subsystem with op-amps usable for signal conditioning, a 10-bit SAR ADC for auxiliary analog sensing, and digital routing resources allowing flexible interconnection of peripherals - all configured via Cypress-provided PSoC Designer IDE.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core | M8C 8-bit RISC CPU, 24 MHz max clock - enables deterministic real-time sensor polling and low-latency UI response. |
| CapSense® Inputs | Up to 14 - supports multi-button, slider, and proximity sensing with no external components required. |
| Flash / SRAM | 8 KB flash / 512 B SRAM - sufficient for firmware including CapSense® tuning, I²C stack, and application logic. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.4 V to 5.25 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB, and industrial 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for consumer and industrial ambient environments. |
| I/O Drive | 25 mA sink/source per pin - drives LEDs directly or interfaces with external logic without buffers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touch-sensing microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C20160-SX2IT | 16 CapSense® inputs, 16 KB flash, same package - adds 2 more electrodes and double flash for larger UIs. | Required when >14 touch nodes or extended firmware (e.g., BLE bridge) is needed. | Select if future UI expansion or dual-interface (I²C + SPI) concurrent use is planned. |
| ATtiny412-MFR | AVR core, 4 KB flash, no hardware CapSense® - relies on software-based RC oscillation sensing. | Limited to simple button detection; lacks slider/proximity support and higher noise immunity. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-channel-count applications where CapSense® precision is non-critical. |
Compared with CY8C20140-SX2IT, the CY8C20160-SX2IT offers scalable electrode count and memory without changing layout, while the ATtiny412-MFR trades CapSense® hardware acceleration for lower unit cost and reduced feature depth.

FAQ
What development tools are required to program the CY8C20140-SX2IT?
The CY8C20140-SX2IT is programmed using Cypress PSoC Designer IDE (v5.4 or earlier), which provides graphical peripheral configuration, CapSense® tuning utilities, and C-code generation. Programming is performed via SWD interface using MiniProg3 or compatible programmers. No third-party toolchain is supported.
Does the CY8C20140-SX2IT support mutual-capacitance sensing?
Yes, the CY8C20140-SX2IT supports both self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance sensing modes through its hardware CapSense® block. Mutual-capacitance configuration enables true multi-touch detection and improved noise immunity in dense layouts, and is enabled via PSoC Designer's CapSense® Component settings.
Can the internal oscillator be used instead of an external crystal?
Yes, the CY8C20140-SX2IT includes an internal 24 MHz main oscillator and a 32 kHz low-power oscillator. The internal oscillators are factory-trimmed to ±2% accuracy and are sufficient for most CapSense® and I²C applications; external crystals are optional for tighter timing requirements.
Is the CY8C20140-SX2IT RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, the CY8C20140-SX2IT is manufactured in compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Certificate of Compliance (CoC) and material declarations are available via Infineon's product change notification (PCN) portal under document ID PCN-2019-001.
