Product details
Overview
CY8C29466-24PVXAT from Infineon Technologies is a PSoC™ 1 programmable system-on-chip integrating an 8-bit M8C core, configurable analog and digital blocks, 32 KB flash, 2 KB SRAM, and CapSense® capacitive sensing capability. It operates at up to 24 MHz, supports 5 V operation, and features 28 I/O pins with programmable drive strength and slew rate control. It is used in human-interface applications such as touch-button control panels in industrial HMIs and white-goods user interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C29466-24PVXAT datasheet, CY8C29466-24PVXAT pinout, CY8C29466-24PVXAT application, or CY8C29466-24PVXAT equivalent, this device offers field-programmable mixed-signal integration, on-chip CapSense® tuning, and single-supply 5 V operation - key selection criteria for cost-sensitive embedded control with touch interface requirements.
Technical Context
The CY8C29466-24PVXAT implements a fully integrated mixed-signal architecture built around the M8C 8-bit RISC CPU, with dedicated hardware for analog signal processing (PGA, ADC, IDAC, opamps) and digital logic (PLD-based UDBs). Its CapSense® subsystem uses mutual-capacitance or self-capacitance scanning with automatic baseline tracking and noise rejection.
It supports dynamic reconfiguration of analog and digital resources at runtime via firmware, enabling flexible sensor interface adaptation and real-time signal path adjustment without external components. The device includes internal voltage regulators, POR, and precision internal oscillators (1–24 MHz), eliminating need for external clock sources in most implementations.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable mixed-signal microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C21534-24LFXIT | 16 KB flash, 1 KB SRAM, 24-pin QFN, no internal POR - requires external reset circuit and lacks CapSense® CSD v2.0 hardware acceleration. | Suitable only for simpler touch interfaces with ≤12 electrodes and no stringent EMI requirements. | Select when BOM cost reduction outweighs CapSense® performance and design flexibility needs. |
| CY8C22545-24PVXI | Same 32 KB/2 KB memory, but 48-pin TQFP package and enhanced analog routing - adds second PGA and dual-slope ADC, increasing analog channel density. | Better suited for multi-sensor systems (e.g., touch + temperature + proximity) where analog resource concurrency is critical. | Choose when expanding beyond pure touch into hybrid analog-sensing applications without changing firmware architecture. |
Compared with CY8C21534-24LFXIT, the CY8C29466-24PVXAT provides higher memory, stronger CapSense® hardware, and SOIC packaging for through-hole prototyping; versus CY8C22545-24PVXI, it trades pin count and analog expansion for lower cost and smaller footprint in dedicated touch-only designs.

FAQ
What development tools are required to program the CY8C29466-24PVXAT?
The CY8C29466-24PVXAT is programmed using PSoC™ Designer 5.4 software, which provides graphical configuration of analog/digital blocks and CapSense® parameters. Programming is performed via MiniProg1 or MiniProg3 programmer/debugger using the SWD interface. No external debugger hardware is needed for basic firmware loading and CapSense® tuning.
Does the device support true hardware-based CapSense® mutual capacitance scanning?
Yes - the CY8C29466-24PVXAT implements CapSense® CSD v2.0 with dedicated hardware scan engine supporting both self- and mutual-capacitance modes. Mutual-capacitance scanning uses P0 and P1 pins simultaneously, achieving >100 Hz full-panel scan rates with built-in noise cancellation and automatic electrode balancing.
Can the internal 24 MHz oscillator be used as the system clock without calibration?
Yes - the internal IMO (Internal Main Oscillator) is factory-trimmed to ±2% accuracy across voltage and temperature. It is enabled by default at power-on and requires no external components or runtime calibration, making it suitable for most timing-critical applications including UART communication at 115.2 kbps with <1% error.
Is there hardware support for low-power operation during touch-sleep mode?
Yes - the device supports Deep Sleep mode with current consumption of 1.2 µA typical, retaining SRAM contents and waking on CapSense® interrupt or pin change. The internal low-power oscillator (ILO) remains active to maintain timing for periodic wake-up scans, enabling battery-powered operation for multi-year deployments.
