Product details
Overview
CY8C4146AXI-S433 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, 12-bit 1-Msps SAR ADC, and three reconfigurable serial communication blocks (I²C/SPI/UART). It operates from 1.71 V to 5.5 V and supports deep-sleep mode with 2.5 µA system current, targeting embedded human-interface and industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4146AXI-S433 datasheet, CY8C4146AXI-S433 pinout, CY8C4146AXI-S433 application, or CY8C4146AXI-S433 equivalent, key selection considerations include its reconfigurable analog/digital blocks, SmartSense auto-tuning for water-tolerant touch, 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 programmable analog (two opamps, two comparators, IDACs, 12-bit SAR ADC) and digital (five TCPWM blocks, three SCBs, PLD logic) subsystems. All analog peripherals remain operational in Deep Sleep mode, enabling always-on sensing at ultra-low power.
Its clock system combines ±2% IMO, 32 kHz ILO, and WCO support; CAPSENSE™ uses sigma-delta modulation with >5:1 SNR and hardware-accelerated SmartSense tuning. GPIOs are fully reconfigurable for analog input, digital I/O, or CAPSENSE™ electrode roles without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm® Cortex®-M0+ @ 48 MHz with single-cycle multiply - enables real-time control and firmware-based signal processing without external co-processors. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash (with read accelerator) + 8 KB SRAM - supports complex firmware with bootloader, sensor fusion, and communication stacks in single-chip design. |
| ADC | 12-bit SAR ADC, 1 Msps, differential/single-ended, channel sequencer with signal averaging - delivers high-resolution acquisition for analog sensors and battery monitoring. |
| CAPSENSE™ | Sigma-delta capacitive sensing with >5:1 SNR and automatic SmartSense tuning - achieves robust touch detection under moisture, gloves, or varying dielectric conditions. |
| Power Modes | Deep Sleep mode with 2.5 µA system current and active analog - enables multi-year battery life in wake-on-touch or periodic sensing applications. |
| Serial Interfaces | Three run-time reconfigurable SCBs supporting I²C, SPI, or UART - allows dynamic peripheral assignment without hardware redesign or pin remapping. |
| TCPWM Blocks | Five 16-bit Timer/Counter/PWM units with center-aligned, edge-aligned, and pseudo-random modes - supports motor control, LED dimming, and precision timing with comparator-triggered kill signals. |
Pinout & Package
This device is housed in a 48-lead TQFP package (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. All 36 GPIOs support multiple functions including analog input, digital I/O, CAPSENSE™ electrode, LCD segment drive, and serial interface signals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply and ground | Dual-supply domain: VDD powers digital/analog circuits; VSS is common reference - requires local decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| XRES | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous hardware reset with internal pull-up; accepts external push-button or supervisor IC assertion - ensures deterministic startup after brown-out. |
| SWDCLK / SWDIO | ARM Serial Wire Debug interface | Two-pin debug port supporting programming, real-time trace, and breakpoints - eliminates need for JTAG header in production PCB layout. |
| P0[0]–P0[7], P1[0]–P1[7], P2[0]–P2[7], P3[0]–P3[7], P4[0]–P4[7], P5[0]–P5[3] | Programmable GPIO | 36 pins configurable as analog input, digital I/O, CAPSENSE™ electrode, or serial interface signals - enables full system integration without discrete level shifters or muxes. |
| XTAL_IN / XTAL_OUT | 32 kHz watch crystal oscillator terminals | Supports external 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC accuracy ±20 ppm - required for low-power timekeeping during Deep Sleep. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reconfigurable Analog Blocks | Two opamps with selectable high-drive external or high-bandwidth internal modes, plus ADC input buffering - enables sensor signal conditioning and active filtering without external opamp ICs. |
| SmartSense Auto-Tuning | Hardware-accelerated CAPSENSE™ calibration that adjusts sensitivity, scan speed, and noise rejection in real time - eliminates manual tuning and improves field reliability across temperature/humidity variations. |
| Programmable Digital Logic | PLD blocks performing Boolean operations on port inputs/outputs - implements glue logic, state machines, or interrupt pre-processing without consuming CPU cycles. |
| LCD Segment Drive | Direct GPIO-based segment drive capability - drives up to 32 segments without external LCD controller, reducing BOM count in display-enabled HMI designs. |
| Low-Power Comparators | Two comparators operational in Deep Sleep mode with <1 µA quiescent current - enables wake-on-threshold detection for battery-powered sensors and alarms. |

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-QFN package (6 × 6 mm), no WCO pins, 64 KB flash/8 KB SRAM - lacks 32 kHz crystal oscillator support. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where RTC accuracy is handled externally or via software compensation. | Select when footprint size is critical and crystal-based RTC is not required. |
| CY8C4046LTI-S412 | PSoC™ 4000S series, Cortex®-M0+, 24 MHz, 32 KB flash/4 KB SRAM, no CAPSENSE™ sigma-delta block - lower performance, no SmartSense, reduced analog resources. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-touch applications requiring basic GPIO, timers, and UART only. | Choose only if CAPSENSE™ performance, SAR ADC resolution, or Deep Sleep current <3 µA are not required. |
Compared with CY8C4147AZI-S423, this part adds WCO support for precise RTC and larger pin count for routing flexibility; versus CY8C4046LTI-S412, it delivers 2× flash/SRAM, full CAPSENSE™ sigma-delta engine, and 48 MHz CPU for real-time sensor fusion - making it the only option meeting demanding HMI and industrial control requirements.

FAQ
Does CY8C4146AXI-S433 support USB connectivity?
No, CY8C4146AXI-S433 does not include a USB PHY or USB controller. It provides three reconfigurable serial communication blocks (SCBs) supporting I²C, SPI, and UART only. For USB host or device functionality, an external USB-to-UART bridge IC or migration to a PSoC™ 6 device with integrated USB is required.
What development tools are officially supported for this device?
Infineon officially supports ModusToolbox™ 3.x for CY8C4146AXI-S433, including the Peripheral Driver Library (PDL), CAPSENSE™ Tuner, and middleware stacks. Legacy PSoC™ Creator IDE is also compatible but no longer actively developed. Both environments provide full debug, programming, and CAPSENSE™ tuning capabilities via SWD interface.
Can all 36 GPIOs be used simultaneously as CAPSENSE™ electrodes?
Yes, all 36 GPIOs can be configured as CAPSENSE™ electrodes, but practical electrode count depends on mutual capacitance coupling and scan time constraints. The CSD block supports up to 32 self-capacitance or 16 mutual-capacitance electrodes per scan; full 36-pin usage requires time-multiplexed scanning and firmware optimization per Infineon AN92239.
Is the 12-bit SAR ADC capable of simultaneous sampling across multiple channels?
No, the 12-bit SAR ADC uses a single conversion core with a channel sequencer. It performs sequential sampling across up to 16 channels with programmable sample-and-hold timing and signal averaging per channel, but does not support true simultaneous sampling. For synchronized multi-channel acquisition, external parallel ADCs or PSoC™ 6 devices with dual ADCs are recommended.
