Product details
Overview
CY8C3446AXE-115 from Infineon Technologies (acquired Cypress Semiconductor) is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade PSoC® 3 programmable system-on-chip integrating an 8051 CPU core, up to 64 KB flash, 8 KB SRAM, 2 KB EEPROM, 24-channel DMA, full CAN 2.0b interface (16 Rx/8 Tx buffers), USB 2.0 Full-Speed peripheral, and configurable analog/digital peripherals - deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C3446AXE-115 datasheet, CY8C3446AXE-115 pinout, CY8C3446AXE-115 application, or CY8C3446AXE-115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-pin TQFP package, –40 °C to +125 °C extended temperature rating, integrated delta-sigma ADC (12-bit, 192 ksps, 66 dB SINAD), dual opamps (25 mA drive), and CAN+USB coexistence on a single die - critical for consolidated automotive ECU designs.
Technical Context
The CY8C3446AXE-115 implements a hardened 8051 microcontroller core operating at DC to 50 MHz with multiply/divide instructions, 512-byte flash cache, and ECC-protected flash configuration storage. Its digital subsystem centers on 24 universal digital blocks (UDBs) supporting programmable logic, timers, PWMs, CRC, PRS, LIN, and quadrature decoding via DSI routing.
Analog functionality includes a 1.024 V ±0.1% internal reference, delta-sigma ADC (8–12-bit, ×0.25–×16 PGA gain), four comparators (95 ns), two uncommitted opamps, four DACs (8-bit IDAC/VDAC), and two multifunction SC/CT blocks configurable as PGA, TIA, mixer, or sample-and-hold - all routable to any of 62 GPIOs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP S32K144 | ARM Cortex-M4F core, 160 MHz, CAN FD support, no integrated USB PHY | Better suited for CAN FD-based domain controllers; lacks USB device interface and CapSense® capability | Select when CAN FD bandwidth > 1 Mbps is required and USB is handled externally |
| Renesas RL78/F14 | 16-bit RL78 core, 32 MHz, CAN 2.0 only, no USB, lower analog integration (no delta-sigma ADC) | Targeted at cost-sensitive body electronics with minimal analog acquisition needs | Select for low-BOM-cost BCMs where USB/CapSense® are unnecessary and CAN-only comms suffice |
Compared with S32K144 and RL78/F14, CY8C3446AXE-115 uniquely combines USB 2.0 FS, CAN 2.0b, and high-resolution delta-sigma ADC in a single AEC-Q100 Grade 0 package - enabling consolidated sensor hub and diagnostic interface functions without external ICs.

FAQ
Does CY8C3446AXE-115 support CAN FD?
No. CY8C3446AXE-115 implements CAN 2.0b only, with 16 receive and 8 transmit buffers, compliant with ISO 11898-1:2003. It does not support CAN FD's higher data rates or extended data length. For CAN FD, consider Infineon's AURIX™ TC3xx or NXP S32K144 families.
What development tools are required for CY8C3446AXE-115?
PSoC Creator™ IDE (v3.3 or later) is mandatory for schematic-based design, component configuration, and code generation. Hardware debugging requires a KitProg2 or MiniProg3 programmer/debugger supporting SWD and JTAG. USBFS and CapSense® components require specific library versions validated for CY8C34.
Is the internal 1.024 V reference usable for precision ADC calibration?
Yes. The 1.024 V ±0.1% reference is specified across –40 °C to +85 °C and is internally routed to the delta-sigma ADC's reference input. It enables ratiometric or absolute measurements without external voltage references, reducing component count in emission control or battery monitoring systems.
Can all 62 GPIOs be used simultaneously for analog input acquisition?
No. While all 62 GPIOs support analog routing, the delta-sigma ADC has one SAR-like input multiplexer feeding a single conversion core. Up to 24 channels can be scanned sequentially via DMA-controlled channel sequencing, but true parallel acquisition requires external analog switches or additional ADCs.
