Product details
Overview
CY8C4146LQI-S422T 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 supports deep-sleep operation at 2.5 µA and delivers best-in-class SNR (>5:1) for water-tolerant touch interfaces in industrial HMI and consumer control panels.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4146LQI-S422T datasheet, CY8C4146LQI-S422T pinout, CY8C4146LQI-S422T application, or CY8C4146LQI-S422T equivalent, key selection criteria include its reconfigurable analog/digital blocks, SmartSense auto-tuning for CAPSENSE™, TCPWM kill-signal triggering for motor safety, and 1.71–5.5 V wide-voltage operation across battery-powered and industrial supply rails.
Technical Context
The device integrates a fixed-function Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core with programmable analog (two opamps, two low-power comparators, 12-bit SAR ADC) and digital (five TCPWM blocks, three SCBs, programmable logic) subsystems. All analog peripherals remain functional in Deep Sleep mode, enabling always-on touch detection with sub-3 µA system current.
Its clock architecture includes ±2% IMO, 32 kHz ILO, and WCO support - enabling precise timing for UART communication, PWM motor control, and CAPSENSE™ sigma-delta conversion. The Smart I/O block allows autonomous GPIO-level signal conditioning without CPU intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm® Cortex®-M0+ @ 48 MHz - single-cycle multiply enables real-time control loop execution in motor and sensor applications. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash + 8 KB SRAM - sufficient for embedded firmware with CAPSENSE™ middleware and communication stacks. |
| ADC | 12-bit SAR, 1 Msps, differential/single-ended - supports high-resolution current/voltage monitoring with hardware channel sequencing. |
| CAPSENSE™ | Sigma-delta CSD with >5:1 SNR and SmartSense auto-tuning - eliminates manual calibration for production touch systems exposed to moisture. |
| Power Range | 1.71–5.5 V - enables direct interface with Li-ion batteries (3.0–4.2 V), USB-powered circuits (5 V), and industrial 3.3 V/2.5 V rails. |
| Deep Sleep Current | 2.5 µA with active analog - sustains capacitive wake-up and RTC operation for multi-year battery life in IoT endpoints. |
| TCPWM Blocks | Five 16-bit Timer/Counter/PWM units with center-aligned, edge-aligned, and pseudo-random modes - supports BLDC commutation and LED dimming with comparator-triggered fault shutdown. |
| SCBs | Three serial communication blocks - each configurable as I²C master/slave, SPI master/slave, or UART - enables concurrent sensor bus, display interface, and debug port. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-lead TQFP (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Main power supply input | Accepts 1.71–5.5 V; powers digital core, analog blocks, and I/O; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
| VSS | Digital ground reference | Primary return path for CPU, memory, and digital peripherals; must be connected to system GND plane. |
| XRES | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous external reset; internal pull-up ensures reliable boot without external resistor. |
| P0[0]–P0[7] | Programmable GPIO bank 0 | Support CAPSENSE™, analog input/output, or digital functions; slew rate and drive strength configurable per pin. |
| P1[0]–P1[7] | Programmable GPIO bank 1 | Includes dedicated SCB0 SDA/SCL pins; supports I²C fast-mode (400 kHz) with internal pull-ups enabled. |
| SWDCLK / SWDIO | ARM Serial Wire Debug interface | Two-pin debug interface for programming and real-time trace; no external pull-ups required. |
| WCO_IN / WCO_OUT | 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator terminals | Supports precision RTC and low-power wake-up timing; requires 12.5 pF load capacitance crystal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reconfigurable Analog Blocks | Two opamps operate in comparator, buffer, or high-drive mode - enables flexible sensor signal conditioning without external components. |
| SmartSense Auto-Tuning | Hardware-accelerated CAPSENSE™ calibration - reduces BOM cost and production test time by eliminating manual tuning fixtures. |
| Programmable Digital Logic | Boolean logic on GPIO inputs/outputs via Smart I/O - implements debounce, edge detection, or state machines without CPU overhead. |
| Low-Power Comparators | Operate in Deep Sleep at <100 nA - enables wake-on-threshold detection for battery-powered sensors and alarms. |
| LCD Segment Drive | Up to 32 segments driven directly from GPIOs - eliminates external LCD driver IC in simple display applications like thermostats and meters. |
Applications
| Industrial HMI Panels | Consumer Appliance Controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C4147AZI-S423 | Same PSoC™ 4100S family; 48-pin QFN package, higher flash (128 KB), same 48 MHz M0+, but lacks WCO pins. | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing larger code footprint and no RTC requirement. | Select when board layout favors QFN and RTC functionality is handled externally or omitted. |
| STM32G071KBT6 | Arm® Cortex®-M0+, 64 MHz, 128 KB flash, 36 KB SRAM; no integrated CAPSENSE™ or programmable analog blocks. | Requires external touch controller and opamp circuitry for equivalent analog functionality. | Choose when leveraging ST's ecosystem, needing higher CPU speed, and accepting added BOM complexity for touch/analog. |
Compared with CY8C4146LQI-S422T, the CY8C4147AZI-S423 offers more flash in smaller QFN packaging but sacrifices WCO-based RTC capability, while the STM32G071KBT6 provides higher clock speed and memory but demands external components to match PSoC™'s integrated analog/digital reconfigurability.

FAQ
Does CY8C4146LQI-S422T support USB communication?
No, CY8C4146LQI-S422T does not include a USB PHY or USB controller. It supports UART, I²C, and SPI through its three reconfigurable serial communication blocks (SCBs), but USB functionality requires an external bridge IC or host-side adapter.
Can the SAR ADC perform simultaneous sampling on multiple channels?
No, the 12-bit SAR ADC has a single sample-and-hold circuit and performs sequential conversions. However, its hardware channel sequencer supports automatic scanning of up to 16 channels with signal averaging per channel - enabling effective multi-sensor monitoring without CPU polling.
What is the maximum operating temperature for CY8C4146LQI-S422T?
CY8C4146LQI-S422T is rated for industrial temperature range: –40 °C to +85 °C. This is confirmed in Section 5.2.1 of the official datasheet (002-00122 Rev. *Q), with validated performance across this range for both digital and analog peripherals.
Is ModusToolbox™ required for development, or can PSoC™ Creator still be used?
Both tools are supported: PSoC™ Creator remains fully functional for legacy projects and schematic-based design, while ModusToolbox™ is Infineon's current-generation IDE offering CLI-driven workflows, CMSIS-Pack integration, and enhanced middleware support including CAPSENSE™ Tuner v3.x.
