Product details
Overview
CY8C21334-24PVXA from Cypress Semiconductor is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade PSoC® programmable system-on-chip featuring an 8-bit M8C Harvard-architecture CPU running at up to 24 MHz, 8 KB flash, 512 bytes SRAM, and four configurable analog and digital PSoC blocks. It operates from 3.0 V to 5.25 V across –40 °C to +85 °C and supports capacitive sensing, PWM, UART, SPI, I²C, and 10-bit ADC in automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C21334-24PVXA datasheet, CY8C21334-24PVXA pinout, CY8C21334-24PVXA application, or CY8C21334-24PVXA equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 24-pin SSOP package with 20 GPIOs, integrated 1.3 V voltage reference, programmable analog mux, and ISSP-enabled partial flash update capability for ECU firmware field updates.
Technical Context
The device implements a fixed-function M8C core with Harvard architecture, supporting up to 24 MHz operation and 4 MIPS throughput. Its digital system comprises four 8-bit PSoC blocks configurable as timers, counters, PWMs (8–32 bit), UART, SPI, CRC, and PRS modules - all routable to any GPIO via global digital interconnect buses.
The analog system integrates four Type E blocks: two CT-based comparators with selectable 1.3 V or 8-bit DAC references, and dual-channel 10-bit SAR ADCs. An 8:1 analog input mux and full-port analog bus enable hardware-controlled precharge for robust capacitive touch sensing on any GPIO.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INFINEON TLE9842-2QX | ARM Cortex-M0 core, 40 MHz, integrated LIN transceiver, no analog mux or capacitive sensing blocks | Targeted for motor control with embedded gate drivers; lacks native touch sensing capability | Select when LIN physical layer integration and higher CPU performance outweigh programmable analog flexibility |
| NXP S9KEAZ128AMLH | ARM Cortex-M0+, 40 MHz, 128 KB flash, 16 KB RAM, no configurable analog blocks or hardware touch engine | Designed for cost-sensitive entry-level ECUs requiring larger memory and CAN, not analog customization | Select when scalable memory and CAN FD readiness are prioritized over mixed-signal configurability |
Compared with TLE9842-2QX and S9KEAZ128AMLH, CY8C21334-24PVXA uniquely delivers hardware-accelerated capacitive sensing, analog signal routing, and partial flash updates - making it optimal for compact, sensor-rich automotive human-machine interfaces where analog integration reduces BOM count.

FAQ
Is CY8C21334-24PVXA pin-compatible with other CY8C21x34 variants?
Yes - all CY8C21334-xxPVXA devices share identical 24-pin SSOP pinouts and electrical characteristics. Differences are limited to speed grade (24 MHz vs. 12 MHz) and temperature range (AEC-Q100 Grade 3 only). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading within the same package variant.
Does CY8C21334-24PVXA support CAN bus communication?
No - this device lacks a built-in CAN controller or physical transceiver. It supports UART, SPI, and I²C for local interconnect. CAN functionality requires external transceivers and software-implemented protocol stacks, which are not recommended due to timing constraints and lack of hardware arbitration support.
Can the internal 1.3 V reference be used externally?
No - the 1.3 V reference is internally routed only to comparators and ADCs. It is not available on any GPIO pin and cannot drive external circuitry. For external reference needs, designers must use a dedicated voltage reference IC or DAC output routed through GPIO.
What development tools are required to program CY8C21334-24PVXA?
PSoC Designer™ v5.4 (legacy IDE) is mandatory for configuration and code generation. Programming requires a MiniProg3 or compatible ISSP programmer. Debugging uses the on-chip ICE interface with full-speed emulation, 128 KB trace memory, and complex breakpoint support - no JTAG adapter is needed.
