Product details
Overview
CY8C201A0-LDX2IT from Infineon is a capacitive-sensing PSoC™ 1 programmable system-on-chip featuring an 8-bit M8C core, integrated CapSense® analog front-end, 2 kB flash, 256 B SRAM, and up to 16 GPIOs in a 24-pin QFN package. It supports self- and mutual-capacitance sensing with <1 pF resolution and operates from 2.4–5.25 V. Used in touch-button and slider interfaces for industrial HMI and consumer appliance control panels.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C201A0-LDX2IT datasheet, CY8C201A0-LDX2IT pinout, CY8C201A0-LDX2IT application, or CY8C201A0-LDX2IT equivalent, key selection criteria include CapSense® SNR performance, low-power wake-on-touch capability (1.5 µA deep sleep), configurable scan speed (up to 100 Hz), and factory-trimmed internal oscillator accuracy (±2% over temperature).
Technical Context
This device belongs to the legacy PSoC™ 1 family and integrates a dedicated CapSense® block with programmable IDACs, SC/CT blocks for analog signal conditioning, and a flexible digital routing matrix. Its M8C CPU runs at up to 24 MHz and supports interrupt-driven sensor scanning with hardware-accelerated baseline tracking and noise rejection algorithms.
The chip uses a single-supply architecture with internal voltage regulators and supports I²C and UART communication. All GPIOs are individually configurable for analog input, digital I/O, or CapSense® electrode functions, and the device includes a precision 1.024 V reference for ADC and IDAC calibration.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive-sensing microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C20234-SX2I | Same PSoC™ 1 architecture, 4 kB flash, 512 B SRAM, identical CapSense® block - higher memory but same pinout and peripheral set. | Supports larger firmware with multiple gesture algorithms and dual-interface (I²C + UART) simultaneously. | Select when firmware complexity exceeds 2 kB or dual-host interface is required. |
| STM32F070F6P6 | ARM Cortex-M0 core, no integrated CapSense® - requires external RC network and software-based sensing library (e.g., STM32 Touch Sensing Library). | Lacks hardware-accelerated noise rejection; scan time increases 3× vs. CY8C201A0-LDX2IT under EMI stress. | Select only if ARM toolchain alignment outweighs CapSense® performance loss and added firmware development effort. |
Compared with CY8C201A0-LDX2IT, CY8C20234-SX2I offers headroom for future firmware updates without changing PCB layout, while STM32F070F6P6 trades CapSense® hardware efficiency for ecosystem familiarity - resulting in longer development time and lower noise immunity in production.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of capacitive sensors supported by CY8C201A0-LDX2IT?
The device supports up to 16 independent capacitive sensing electrodes using its P0 and P1 port pins. In self-capacitance mode, all 16 pins can function as individual buttons or sliders. In mutual-capacitance mode, it supports up to 8 transmit and 8 receive channels, enabling true multi-touch matrix configurations with hardware-accelerated scan.
Does CY8C201A0-LDX2IT require an external crystal for accurate timing?
No. The device includes a factory-trimmed internal oscillator with ±2% accuracy across –40°C to +85°C, sufficient for CapSense® scanning and UART/I²C communication. An external crystal (1–24 MHz) is optional and only needed if tighter timing tolerance is required for non-CapSense® functions.
Can CY8C201A0-LDX2IT operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes. It operates across 2.4–5.25 V, making 3.3 V a fully supported and commonly used supply voltage. At 3.3 V, deep sleep current is 1.5 µA, active current is ~2.5 mA at 24 MHz, and CapSense® scan current remains below 500 µA per electrode cycle.
Is there official development support for CY8C201A0-LDX2IT today?
While Infineon has transitioned focus to PSoC™ 4/6 families, the CY8C201A0-LDX2IT is fully supported by the legacy PSoC™ Designer IDE (v5.4), including CapSense® Tuner GUI, pre-verified component libraries, and application notes covering overlay thickness compensation, water tolerance, and ESD hardening techniques.
