Product details
Overview
CY8C26443-24PI from Cypress Semiconductor is a programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC™) integrating an M8C 8-bit Harvard architecture CPU, 8KB Flash, 256B 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 sensor interface and mixed-signal control applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C26443-24PI datasheet, CY8C26443-24PI pinout, CY8C26443-24PI application, or CY8C26443-24PI equivalent, key selection criteria include on-chip analog configurability, ISSP™ in-system programming support, 24-pin PDIP package compatibility, and legacy PSoC Designer™ toolchain integration.
Technical Context
The device implements a fully static CMOS design with dual-clock domains: a high-speed system clock (up to 24 MHz from internal oscillator or external crystal) and independent analog block clocks derived via programmable dividers. Its PSoC architecture enables runtime reconfiguration of analog signal chains-e.g., cascading a PGA with a ΔΣ ADC and digital filter-without hardware changes.
Digital functionality is implemented through eight user-configurable digital PSoC blocks supporting PWM with deadband, CRC generation, full-duplex UART, and SPI master/slave modes. All I/O pins support Schmitt-trigger inputs, programmable drive strength (25 mA logic / 40 mA analog), and interrupt-on-change capability.

FAQ
Is CY8C26443-24PI still recommended for new designs?
No. Cypress explicitly marks this part as "Not Recommended for New Designs" in its official datasheet (Rev. *C, May 2005), advising migration to the CY8C27xxx series. However, it remains actively supported for legacy production and repair programs with verified toolchain compatibility and documented lifecycle management.
What development tools are required to program CY8C26443-24PI?
The original PSoC Designer™ IDE (v5.x) is mandatory; newer PSoC Creator™ or ModusToolbox™ do not support this generation. Programming requires an ISSP-capable programmer such as the MiniProg1 or CY3210-PSoC Development Kit, connected via SWD pin and VDD/VSS.
Does CY8C26443-24PI support USB or CAN interfaces?
No. This PSoC 1 device lacks native USB or CAN transceivers. Communication is limited to UART, SPI, and I²C (bit-banged via GPIO). USB or CAN functionality would require external PHY chips and additional firmware overhead-unlike later PSoC generations.
Can CY8C26443-24PI operate below 3.0 V?
Yes-down to 1.0 V-using its integrated switch-mode voltage pump (SMVP), which boosts internal core voltage while allowing I/O to remain at reduced supply. This mode supports ultra-low-power sleep states but disables some analog blocks and reduces maximum CPU frequency to 6 MHz.
