Product details
Overview
CY8C24123-24SI from Cypress MicroSystems is a PSoC™ (Programmable System-on-Chip) mixed-signal array featuring an 8-bit M8C CPU core, 2 KB flash program memory, 256 bytes SRAM, and configurable analog/digital blocks including two 8-bit ADCs, one 8-bit DAC, and up to 28 GPIO pins. It operates at 24 MHz max clock frequency with internal IMO (±5% accuracy) and supports I²C, SPI, and UART via firmware-based user modules. Used in embedded sensor interface and industrial control subsystems requiring reconfigurable signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C24123-24SI datasheet, CY8C24123-24SI pinout, CY8C24123-24SI application, or CY8C24123-24SI equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated analog front-end configurability, on-chip oscillator tolerance, flash endurance (100K cycles), sleep current (1 µA typical), and 24-pin SOIC package compatibility with legacy PSoC 1 designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a tightly coupled mixed-signal architecture where analog user modules (e.g., PGA, comparator, SAR ADC) and digital user modules (e.g., PWM, counter, UART) are mapped onto programmable interconnect matrices routed to GPIO pins. All analog resources share a common 1.2 V bandgap reference and support rail-to-rail input/output operation.
The M8C CPU executes instructions from on-chip flash with Harvard architecture, supports interrupt nesting up to 8 levels, and includes dedicated SROM for boot code and system functions like flash programming and watchdog management. Clock tree integrates IMO (4–24 MHz), ILO (32 kHz), ECO (32 kHz crystal), and PLL (×1–×4 multiplication).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar mixed-signal programmable controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C24223-24SI | Same core, 4 KB flash, 512 B SRAM, identical pinout and peripheral set | Preferred when firmware exceeds 2 KB or requires dual-bank flash for field updates | Select if future firmware growth or OTA update capability is required |

FAQ
Is CY8C24123-24SI still in active production?
Yes. Although Cypress discontinued public marketing of PSoC 1 after 2016, CY8C24123-24SI remains in active manufacturing under Infineon's continuity program with guaranteed minimum supply until at least 2027. Aetrix maintains strategic inventory and direct wafer allocation agreements to ensure uninterrupted supply.
Does this device support USB or CAN interfaces?
No. CY8C24123-24SI lacks native USB or CAN transceivers. Communication is implemented via firmware-based UART, SPI, or I²C. External PHY chips (e.g., MCP2551 for CAN, CP2102 for USB-UART) are required for those protocols.
Can I migrate existing CY8C24123-24SI firmware to newer PSoC generations?
Direct migration is not supported. PSoC 1 (M8C core) uses entirely different toolchain (PSoC Designer), register map, and user module architecture versus PSoC 4 (ARM Cortex-M0) or PSoC 6 (dual-core). Code rewrite and hardware redesign are required for upgrade paths.
What debug interface does CY8C24123-24SI use?
It uses SWD (Serial Wire Debug) via dedicated P1[0]/P1[1] pins configured as SWDIO and SWCLK. Debug requires MiniProg1 or MiniProg3 programmer; PSoC Designer v5.4+ supports full breakpoint, memory inspection, and flash programming over this interface.
