Product details
Overview
CY8C24123A4-24SXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a programmable 8-bit PSoC® System-on-Chip featuring an M8C CPU core, 4 KB flash, 256 bytes SRAM, and configurable analog/digital blocks. It operates from 2.4 V to 5.25 V (down to 1.0 V with SMP), supports up to 24 MHz clocking, and delivers rail-to-rail analog functions including 14-bit ADCs, 9-bit DACs, and PGAs - deployed in industrial sensor interface and low-power embedded control.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C24123A4-24SXI datasheet, CY8C24123A4-24SXI pinout, CY8C24123A4-24SXI application, or CY8C24123A4-24SXI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin SOIC package, 24 MHz M8C processor speed, ±5% internal oscillator accuracy, 25-mA GPIO sink capability, and integrated I²C/SPI/UART peripherals for mixed-signal system integration.
Technical Context
The CY8C24123A4-24SXI implements a Harvard-architecture M8C core with 4 KB flash and 256-byte SRAM, supporting ISSP and partial flash updates. Its digital system integrates four 8-bit PSoC blocks enabling configurable 8–32-bit timers, PWMs, UART, SPI, and I²C (up to 400 kHz).
The analog system comprises six rail-to-rail PSoC blocks delivering programmable gain amplifiers, 14-bit SAR ADCs, 9-bit DACs, comparators, and filters - all routed via global analog interconnect to eight standard analog-capable GPIOs and two 30 mA analog outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | M8C 8-bit Harvard architecture, 24 MHz max operation - enables real-time deterministic control at 4 MIPS. |
| Flash Memory | 4 KB program flash with 50,000 erase/write cycles and 4-level block protection - supports firmware updates and IP security. |
| SRAM | 256 bytes data RAM - sufficient for small embedded state machines and sensor buffering. |
| Analog Blocks | Six configurable analog PSoC blocks - provide simultaneous ADC, DAC, PGA, comparator, and filter functions without external components. |
| Digital Blocks | Four 8-bit digital PSoC blocks - combine to form 8–32-bit timers, PWMs, UART, SPI, and CRC modules. |
| GPIO Drive | 25 mA sink / 10 mA source per pin, with pull-up/pull-down/high-Z/open-drain modes - simplifies direct LED driving and level-shifting. |
| Operating Voltage | 2.4 V to 5.25 V supply; extends to 1.0 V using on-chip switch-mode pump - enables battery-powered operation down to single-cell Li-ion. |

| ECO | External crystal oscillator input | Accepts 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC or PLL reference - enables ±20 ppm timing accuracy when paired with PLL for 24 MHz system clock. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-system serial programming (ISSP) | Enables field firmware updates via two-wire interface without removing device from PCB. |
| Configurable analog blocks | Supports re-purposing of same hardware resources for ADC, DAC, PGA, or comparator - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Global digital/analog interconnect | Allows any signal from any block to route to any GPIO - eliminates fixed peripheral pin constraints and accelerates prototyping. |
| On-chip voltage reference | Provides stable 1.2 V or 2.4 V reference for ADC/DAC calibration - removes need for external precision reference ICs. |
| User-configurable LVD | Programmable low-voltage detection thresholds (1.62 V to 4.62 V) with interrupt generation - prevents erratic operation during brown-out conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable mixed-signal controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C24223A-24SXI | Same core, 8 KB flash (vs. 4 KB), identical pinout and peripherals - adds firmware storage headroom. | Better suited for applications requiring larger firmware images or dual-bank bootloading. | Select when future firmware growth or OTA update capability is required; otherwise CY8C24123A4-24SXI offers optimal cost/performance balance. |
| CY8C24423A-24SXI | Same core, 16 KB flash, 512-byte SRAM, and enhanced analog routing - supports more concurrent analog functions. | Required for designs needing >6 analog channels or simultaneous multi-channel ADC+DAC+PGA operation. | Choose only if additional memory or analog resource density is confirmed necessary; over-specification increases BOM cost unnecessarily. |

FAQ
What development tools are required to program the CY8C24123A4-24SXI?
PSoC Designer™ (free Windows IDE) is mandatory for hardware/firmware co-design. Programming requires CY3217-MiniProg1 or CY8CKIT-002 MiniProg3 with ISSP interface. Debugging uses full-speed ICE with 128 KB trace memory and complex breakpoint support - no third-party toolchains are supported.
Does the CY8C24123A4-24SXI support true hardware UART with FIFO?
No. It implements a software-emulated UART within digital PSoC blocks, supporting 8-bit data, selectable parity, and baud rates up to 115.2 kbps at 24 MHz. No hardware FIFO exists; firmware must manage transmit/receive buffers and interrupts directly.
Can the internal 24 MHz oscillator meet timing-critical USB or Ethernet requirements?
No. The ±5% accuracy (±2.5% at 0–70°C) and lack of USB-specific clock dividers make it unsuitable for USB device or Ethernet PHY clocking. External crystals or dedicated clock generators are required for such interfaces.
How is EEPROM functionality implemented given no physical EEPROM memory?
EEPROM emulation uses flash memory with wear-leveling algorithms in Cypress's PSoC Designer library. Up to 2 KB of flash is reserved and managed as EEPROM - supporting byte-write access, 100,000 write cycles, and automatic sector rotation to prevent premature flash wear.
