Product details
Overview
CY8C3246PVI-122T from Infineon Technologies (acquired Cypress Semiconductor) is a PSoC® 3 programmable system-on-chip integrating an 8051 CPU core, configurable analog and digital peripherals, 64 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, and CapSense® capacitive sensing capability. It operates from 1.71–5.5 V, supports up to 50 MHz clocking via internal PLL, and delivers ultra-low-power operation with 200 nA hibernate mode (RAM retention). It is used in human-interface embedded systems requiring mixed-signal integration and firmware-defined functionality.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C3246PVI-122T datasheet, CY8C3246PVI-122T pinout, CY8C3246PVI-122T application, or CY8C3246PVI-122T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin SSOP package, 29 GPIOs with analog routing flexibility, integrated Delta-Sigma ADC (12-bit, ±1 LSB INL), USB 2.0 FS interface, and support for PSoC Creator™ hardware/firmware co-design.
Technical Context
The CY8C3246PVI-122T implements a single-cycle 8051 CPU core running at up to 50 MHz, backed by a 24-channel DMA controller and nested vector interrupt controller for sub-2-cycle latency. Its digital subsystem includes four 16-bit TCPWM blocks, one certified USB 2.0 FS PHY, and a 24-UDB array enabling custom logic such as UART, SPI, LIN, PRS, CRC, and quadrature decoders.
Analog resources comprise an 8–12-bit Delta-Sigma ADC (66 dB SINAD, <100 µV offset), dual comparators, 8-bit DAC (1 Msps VDAC / 8 Msps IDAC), and 1.024 V ±1% reference. All analog signals route flexibly across 29 GPIO pins, supporting CapSense® on all I/Os and segment LCD drive (up to 46×16).

Applications
| Industrial Human-Machine Interface | Medical Sensor Node |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal conditioner (Delta-Sigma ADC with programmable gain), LCD driver (46×16 segments), and USB HID endpoint for calibration data transfer. Use Value: Integrated 1.024 V ±1% reference and low-noise analog routing achieve <0.5% measurement accuracy without trimming resistors or external references. |
| Energy-Harvesting Remote Sensor | Smart Home Lighting Controller |
|
Use Scenario: Solar-powered occupancy sensor node with PIR input, ambient light ADC, and BLE gateway interface (via UART to companion radio). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-power system manager: wakes on interrupt, samples sensors using DMA-triggered ADC, stores events in EEPROM, then returns to 200 nA hibernate. Use Value: 200 nA hibernate with RAM retention preserves context across months of battery-free operation - eliminates supercapacitor or backup battery requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C3247FVI-142 | 68-QFN package, 48 GPIOs, same core/peripherals but higher pin count and no USBIO - lacks integrated USB PHY. | Suitable for space-constrained industrial controllers needing more I/O but no USB connectivity. | Select when board layout requires QFN thermal performance and USB is replaced by UART-to-USB bridge. |
| CY8C4046LQI-SX4 | PSoC 4 (ARM Cortex-M0+), 48-QFN, 32 KB flash, no USB FS PHY, lower analog precision (12-bit SAR ADC, no Delta-Sigma). | Better for cost-sensitive, high-throughput digital control where analog accuracy <66 dB SINAD is acceptable. | Choose for new designs prioritizing ARM ecosystem compatibility and lower unit cost over legacy 8051 toolchain and ultra-high analog fidelity. |
Compared with CY8C3246PVI-122T, CY8C3247FVI-142 offers greater I/O scalability in QFN but sacrifices USB integration, while CY8C4046LQI-SX4 trades Delta-Sigma ADC fidelity and 8051 deterministic timing for ARM software portability and reduced bill-of-materials in non-precision sensing roles.

FAQ
Does CY8C3246PVI-122T support USB device enumeration without external crystal?
Yes. The device includes a TID#40770053-certified USB 2.0 Full-Speed PHY that operates using the internal 3–24 MHz IMO as clock source, eliminating need for external 12 MHz crystal in basic HID or CDC applications. For strict USB timing compliance under variable temperature, external 12 MHz crystal is recommended.
What is the maximum number of simultaneous CapSense® electrodes supported?
CY8C3246PVI-122T supports up to 62 CapSense® electrodes, but physical pin count limits concurrent use to 29 GPIOs. All 29 pins can be configured for self-capacitance sensing; mutual-capacitance requires dedicated TX/RX routing, reducing practical electrode count to ≤24 depending on layout and scan speed requirements.
Can the internal Delta-Sigma ADC perform continuous conversions while CPU is in sleep mode?
Yes. The ADC can be triggered by hardware events (e.g., timer, comparator output) and store results directly to memory via DMA without CPU intervention. In sleep mode (1 µA), the ILO clock keeps the ADC operational at reduced sample rates; full-speed conversion (up to 1 MSPS) requires active CPU clock domain.
Is the 48-SSOP package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. CY8C3246PVI-122T in 48-SSOP (PVI) packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3. Lead-free matte tin finish is standard; full compliance documentation is available in Infineon's product change notices and material declarations.
