Product details
Overview
CY8C4146AXI-S423 from Infineon is a programmable 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ microcontroller with 48 MHz CPU, 64 KB flash, 8 KB SRAM, integrated CAPSENSE™ capacitive sensing, and reconfigurable analog/digital blocks. It supports 1-Msps 12-bit SAR ADC, dual opamps, two low-power comparators, three SCBs (I²C/SPI/UART), five TCPWM blocks, and operates from 1.71–5.5 V in Deep Sleep mode at 2.5 µA. Used in touch-enabled human-machine interfaces for industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4146AXI-S423 datasheet, CY8C4146AXI-S423 pinout, CY8C4146AXI-S423 application, or CY8C4146AXI-S423 equivalent, key selection criteria include CAPSENSE™ SNR performance (>5:1), deep-sleep current budget (2.5 µA), TCPWM kill-signal triggering for motor safety, and GPIO flexibility across 36 pins with programmable drive strength and slew rate.
Technical Context
The device integrates a fixed-function Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core with configurable analog (CTB opamps, SAR ADC, CSD sigma-delta engine) and digital (PLD logic, TCPWM, SCB) subsystems routed via a flexible interconnect matrix. All analog peripherals-including opamps and comparators-remain operational in Deep Sleep mode.
Its clock system combines ±2% IMO, 32 kHz ILO, and external WCO for precision timing; CAPSENSE™ uses hardware-accelerated SmartSense auto-tuning and delivers >5:1 SNR with water tolerance. Serial communication is implemented through three runtime-reconfigurable SCBs supporting I²C, SPI, or UART on shared pins.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C4147AZI-S423 | Same PSoC™ 4100S family, but 48-pin QFN package with enhanced thermal performance and higher max junction temperature (125°C vs. 105°C). | Better suited for enclosed, high-ambient-temperature environments like motor drives or outdoor enclosures. | Select when thermal dissipation or smaller footprint is critical; requires PCB redesign due to QFN land pattern. |
| CY8C4046LQI-S412 | Lower-cost PSoC™ 4000S variant: 24 MHz CPU, 32 KB flash, no CAPSENSE™ sigma-delta block, only basic CSD. | Limited to simple proximity or button-only touch; lacks water tolerance and SmartSense auto-tuning. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical touch applications where SNR >5:1 and moisture immunity are not required. |
Compared with CY8C4147AZI-S423, this part offers TQFP packaging for easier prototyping and thermal inspection, while CY8C4046LQI-S412 trades CAPSENSE™ performance and memory for lower unit cost - making CY8C4146AXI-S423 optimal for mid-tier industrial HMIs needing balanced capability, reliability, and manufacturability.

FAQ
Does CY8C4146AXI-S423 support USB device functionality?
No. The device does not integrate a USB PHY or USB controller. Communication is limited to I²C, SPI, and UART via its three SCB modules. For USB connectivity, an external USB-to-UART bridge IC (e.g., CP2102) must be used, with UART signals routed from P0 or P1 pins.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the SAR ADC when oversampling is enabled?
At 1 Msps nominal sampling rate, the SAR ADC maintains full 12-bit resolution without oversampling. When 4× signal averaging is enabled, effective throughput drops to 250 ksps while preserving DC accuracy and reducing noise floor by ~6 dB - verified in Section 5.3.4 of the 002-00122 Rev. *Q datasheet.
Can the opamps operate as transimpedance amplifiers for photodiode sensing?
Yes. Each CTB opamp supports programmable gain and can be configured in transimpedance mode using external feedback resistors. Input bias current is 1 pA typical, and input-referred noise is 15 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - enabling sub-nA photocurrent detection when paired with appropriate layout and shielding.
Is the SmartSense auto-tuning algorithm field-upgradable?
No. SmartSense is implemented in dedicated hardware within the CSD block and executes autonomously using factory-trimmed parameters. Its tuning behavior cannot be modified via firmware; however, application-level thresholds and baseline update rates are fully configurable in the CAPSENSE™ Component API provided in ModusToolbox™.
