Product details
Overview
CY8C26233-24PI from Cypress Semiconductor is a programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC™) integrating an M8C 8-bit CPU, 8 KB Flash, 256 B SRAM, 12 configurable analog blocks (including ΔΣ ADC, DAC, PGA), and 8 digital blocks (PWM, UART, SPI, timers). It operates at up to 24 MHz, supports 3.0–5.25 V supply, and targets embedded control with mixed-signal flexibility in industrial sensors and motor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C26233-24PI datasheet, CY8C26233-24PI pinout, CY8C26233-24PI application, or CY8C26233-24PI equivalent, key selection criteria include on-chip analog configurability, ISSP™ in-system programming, 24 MHz M8C core performance, and support for precision sensor signal conditioning without external ADC/DAC.
Technical Context
The CY8C26233-24PI implements a Harvard-architecture M8C CPU with 24 MHz max clock, 8×8 multiply/32-bit accumulate, and register-speed memory transfers. Its analog subsystem includes 12 user-configurable PSoC blocks supporting ΔΣ ADC (up to 11-bit), incremental ADC (up to 12-bit), 9-bit DAC, and programmable gain amplifiers.
Digital resources comprise 8 PSoC blocks offering PWM with deadband, full-duplex UART, SPI master/slave, CRC, and flexible clocking. Memory includes 8 KB Flash (50,000 erase/write cycles), 256 B SRAM, and EEPROM emulation up to 2,304 bytes via Flash.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | M8C 8-bit Harvard architecture, 24 MHz max operation - enables real-time control with deterministic timing for sensor polling and actuator drive. |
| Flash Memory | 8 KB - sufficient for firmware + user modules including analog/digital configuration code and calibration tables. |
| SRAM | 256 bytes - supports stack, variables, and small buffers for UART/SPI transaction handling. |
| Analog Blocks | 12 configurable - each can be assigned as ADC, DAC, PGA, comparator, or filter, enabling mixed-signal signal chains without external components. |
| Digital Blocks | 8 programmable - provide hardware PWM, UART, SPI, timers, and CRC, reducing firmware overhead for communication and timing tasks. |
| Operating Voltage | 3.0–5.25 V - compatible with standard industrial logic rails and tolerant of supply variation in noisy environments. |

| RESET | Active-Low Reset Input | Asynchronous reset assertion clears CPU state and reinitializes PSoC blocks; internal pull-up enabled by default. |
| SWD | Serial Wire Debug | Single-pin debug interface for programming and real-time debugging via ISSP™ protocol using external programmer. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Analog Array | 12 independent analog PSoC blocks enable on-the-fly reconfiguration of ADC, DAC, PGA, and filters - eliminates need for discrete signal-conditioning ICs. |

FAQ
Is CY8C26233-24PI still in production?
No - Cypress officially designated CY8C26233-24PI as "Not Recommended for New Designs" in May 2005, favoring CY8C27xxx series. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and provides traceable, tested units for legacy system repair and continuity programs with documented lot traceability.
What development tools are required to program CY8C26233-24PI?
The original PSoC Designer IDE (v5.x) is required, along with a MiniProg1 or compatible ISSP™ programmer. These tools remain available through Aetrix's legacy support portal with validated installation packages and driver compatibility notes for modern Windows OS versions.
Does CY8C26233-24PI support analog input multiplexing?
Yes - its 12 analog PSoC blocks include dedicated analog multiplexer routing resources. Up to 8 analog inputs can be sequentially sampled by a single ΔΣ ADC block using internal switching controlled via AMUXBUF registers, enabling multi-channel sensor monitoring without external MUX ICs.
Can CY8C26233-24PI operate below 3.0 V?
Yes - it supports down to 1.0 V using the on-chip switch-mode voltage pump, though Flash programming and analog block operation require ≥3.0 V. At 1.0–2.9 V, only basic CPU execution and GPIO functions remain active, enabling ultra-low-power wake-on-event modes in battery-powered applications.
