Product details
Overview
CY8C3845PVE-173 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) 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, and configurable analog/digital peripherals including CAN 2.0b, USB 2.0 Full-Speed, delta-sigma ADC (20-bit, 192 ksps), four opamps, and CapSense®. It operates from 1.71 V to 5.5 V across –40 °C to +85 °C and targets embedded control in body electronics, sensor fusion, and powertrain interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C3845PVE-173 datasheet, CY8C3845PVE-173 pinout, CY8C3845PVE-173 application, or CY8C3845PVE-173 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 compliance, integrated CAN/USB connectivity, programmable analog blocks (PGA/TIA), low-power hibernate mode (200 nA), and PSoC Creator™-based firmware reconfigurability without hardware changes.
Technical Context
The CY8C3845PVE-173 implements a single-cycle 8051 microcontroller core with up to 67 MHz operation, supported by a multilayer AHB bus, 24-channel DMA, and programmable universal digital blocks (UDBs) for custom logic synthesis. Its analog subsystem centers on a 1.024 V ±0.1% internal reference and a configurable delta-sigma ADC with selectable gain (×0.25–×16) and resolution (8–20 bit).
Digital peripheral integration includes full CAN 2.0b controller (16 Rx/8 Tx buffers), USB 2.0 FS PHY (TID#40770053 certified), four 16-bit timer/counter/PWM blocks, and a 24-bit digital filter block (DFB) supporting FIR/IIR filtering. All I/O routing is fully configurable via DSI, enabling any GPIO to connect to any analog or digital resource.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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, no integrated CapSense® or DFB; requires external ADC for >16-bit precision. | Targets higher-performance ASIL-B safety-critical functions (e.g., motor control); lacks native capacitive sensing. | Select when needing ISO 26262 ASIL-B certification out-of-box and ARM ecosystem tooling. |
| Renesas RL78/F14 | 16-bit RL78 core, 32 MHz, integrated 12-bit ADC only, no CAN FD or USB; lower memory density (up to 512 KB flash). | Better suited for cost-sensitive, low-complexity body electronics where USB/CapSense® are unnecessary. | Select for legacy 12 V battery-powered modules with strict cost targets and no need for analog configurability. |
Compared with NXP S32K144 and Renesas RL78/F14, CY8C3845PVE-173 uniquely combines automotive-grade programmable analog (PGA/TIA/ADC), CapSense®, and USB+CAN in one die - reducing component count and layout complexity for mid-tier automotive ECUs where flexibility and integration outweigh raw compute throughput.

FAQ
Is CY8C3845PVE-173 pin-compatible with other CY8C38 family members?
Yes - CY8C3845PVE-173 uses the 100-pin TQFP package shared across CY8C38xx-17x variants. Pin functions are consistent per datasheet Table 2-1, though peripheral enablement (e.g., USB, CAN) depends on specific part number configuration. No PCB redesign is needed when migrating within the same package option.
Does CY8C3845PVE-173 support functional safety standards like ISO 26262?
CY8C3845PVE-173 is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and includes hardware features supporting ASIL-B decomposition - such as ECC on flash/SRAM, lockable debug ports, and dual-watchdog timers. However, it is not pre-certified to ISO 26262; customers must perform their own safety analysis and qualification per system requirements.
Can the internal oscillator meet USB Full-Speed timing accuracy requirements?
Yes - the internal main oscillator (IMO) is factory-trimmed to ±2% over temperature and voltage, sufficient for USB Full-Speed (12 Mbps) operation without an external crystal. The datasheet confirms TID#40770053 certification using the IMO, eliminating BOM cost and board space for a 12 MHz crystal.
What development tools are required to program and debug CY8C3845PVE-173?
PSoC Creator™ IDE (v4.4 or later) is mandatory for schematic-based design and code generation. Debug requires a MiniProg3 or KitProg2 programmer/debugger supporting SWD/JTAG. Hardware debugging includes 8 address breakpoints, 1 data breakpoint, and a 4 KB instruction trace buffer - all accessible through standard ARM CoreSight infrastructure.
