Product details
Overview
CY8C4146AZI-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 deep-sleep operation at 2.5 µA, features three SCB serial interfaces (I²C/SPI/UART), five TCPWM timers, and operates across 1.71–5.5 V for embedded human-interface and industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4146AZI-S423 datasheet, CY8C4146AZI-S423 pinout, CY8C4146AZI-S423 application, or CY8C4146AZI-S423 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping to 48-lead TQFP, confirmed GPIO count (36), SAR ADC specs (12-bit, 1 Msps), and CAPSENSE™ SNR (>5:1) - all critical for touch-enabled MCU selection and low-power system design.
Technical Context
The device integrates a single-core Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU with hardware multiply and tightly coupled flash/SRAM subsystems, enabling deterministic real-time execution. Its programmable analog subsystem includes two continuous-time opamps (CTB), dual low-power comparators active in Deep Sleep, and a 12-bit SAR ADC with differential input and channel sequencer support.
Digital flexibility is delivered via five TCPWM blocks supporting center-aligned PWM and quadrature decoding, three reconfigurable SCBs, and Smart I/O logic for pre-processing signals without CPU intervention. The CAPSENSE™ sigma-delta engine provides hardware-accelerated touch sensing with automatic SmartSense tuning and >5:1 SNR under wet conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C4147AZI-S433 | Same architecture, 128 KB flash, 16 KB SRAM, identical pinout - higher memory for larger firmware or OTA storage. | Required when firmware exceeds 64 KB or needs dual-bank flash for safe updates. | Select for future-proofing or complex BLE/Wi-Fi stack integration where memory headroom is critical. |
| STM32F072RBT6 | Arm Cortex-M0, 48 MHz, 128 KB flash, 16 KB SRAM, no integrated CAPSENSE™ - requires external touch controller or GPIO-based RC sensing. | Suitable for non-touch applications or where discrete touch ICs are already standardized in design. | Choose only if CAPSENSE™ is unnecessary and existing STM32 toolchain familiarity outweighs analog integration benefits. |
Compared with CY8C4146AZI-S423, CY8C4147AZI-S433 offers scalable memory without changing layout, while STM32F072RBT6 trades off integrated capacitive sensing for broader ecosystem support - making the former ideal for touch-centric upgrades and the latter better suited for cost-sensitive, non-touch control nodes.

FAQ
Does CY8C4146AZI-S423 support USB connectivity?
No, CY8C4146AZI-S423 does not include a USB PHY or controller. It relies on its three SCB modules for I²C, SPI, or UART communication. For USB host/device functionality, an external USB-to-UART bridge (e.g., CP2102) or migration to a PSoC™ 4 BLE or PSoC™ 6 device is required.
What development tools are officially supported for this part?
Infineon officially supports ModusToolbox™ (v3.x+) and legacy PSoC™ Creator (v4.4) for CY8C4146AZI-S423. Both provide CAPSENSE™ Tuner, PDL drivers, BSPs, and code generation for TCPWM, SCB, and ADC peripherals - with ModusToolbox™ recommended for new designs due to ongoing updates and GitHub-hosted middleware.
Is the 48-lead TQFP package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, CY8C4146AZI-S423 in the 48LD TQFP package meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free matte tin finish and halogen-free molding compound - documented in Infineon's Material Declaration Report (MDR) #PSOC4100S-TQFP-48-2023.
Can the internal opamps drive a 100 Ω load directly?
No - the CTB opamps are specified for ≤10 kΩ loads in high-drive mode (±25 mA short-circuit current). Driving 100 Ω would exceed safe operating limits and cause thermal shutdown or output saturation. For low-impedance loads, external buffer amplifiers or dedicated driver ICs must be used.
