Product details
Overview
CY8C4146LQI-S423T 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 1.71–5.5 V operation, deep-sleep mode at 2.5 µA, and drives up to 36 GPIOs for touch interfaces, motor control, and sensor fusion in industrial HMI and consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4146LQI-S423T datasheet, CY8C4146LQI-S423T pinout, CY8C4146LQI-S423T application, or CY8C4146LQI-S423T equivalent, this device is selected for embedded systems requiring mixed-signal flexibility, low-power capacitive touch, and runtime-reconfigurable serial communication (I²C/SPI/UART) across SCB peripherals.
Technical Context
The CY8C4146LQI-S423T integrates a single-core Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU with tightly coupled flash and SRAM, enabling deterministic real-time execution. Its analog subsystem includes two continuous-time opamps (CTB), a 12-bit 1-Msps SAR ADC with sequencer and averaging, two low-power comparators active in Deep Sleep, and dual IDACs supporting both general-purpose and CSD applications.
Digital resources include five TCPWM blocks supporting center-aligned PWM and quadrature decoding, three reconfigurable Serial Communication Blocks (SCBs), programmable logic (PLD-style digital routing), and Smart I/O for pre-processing signals without CPU intervention - all coordinated via a unified clock tree with IMO, ILO, and WCO sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M0+, 48 MHz max - enables real-time firmware execution with single-cycle multiply for efficient math-intensive tasks like sensor filtering. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash + 8 KB SRAM - sufficient for complex CAPSENSE™ tuning algorithms, BLE stack coexistence, and multi-peripheral firmware without external memory. |
| Analog Performance | 12-bit SAR ADC @ 1 Msps with differential input & channel sequencer - supports simultaneous sampling of multiple sensors (e.g., temp, voltage, current) with hardware averaging for noise reduction. |
| Capacitive Sensing | CAPSENSE™ sigma-delta engine with >5:1 SNR and water-tolerant operation - delivers robust touch button/slider detection under wet conditions without firmware compensation. |
| Low-Power Operation | Deep Sleep current = 2.5 µA with opamps/comparators active - allows battery-powered devices (e.g., remote controls, wearables) to maintain touch wake-up capability for months. |
| GPIO Flexibility | 36 programmable pins with configurable drive strength, slew rate, and analog/digital/CAPSENSE™ assignment - eliminates board redesign when repurposing pins across prototyping iterations. |
| Serial Interfaces | 3 × SCBs supporting I²C/SPI/UART concurrently - enables simultaneous communication with display (I²C), sensor hub (SPI), and debug console (UART) without resource contention. |
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 | Core & I/O supply | 1.71–5.5 V input; powers digital logic, analog blocks, and GPIOs - supports direct connection to Li-ion battery or regulated 3.3 V rail. |
| VSS | Digital ground | Primary return path for digital circuitry; must be connected to system GND plane with low-inductance trace. |
| XRES | Active-low reset input | External reset assertion overrides internal POR; debounced externally to prevent spurious resets during power ramp. |
| SWDCLK / SWDIO | Debug interface | Two-pin ARM Serial Wire Debug port - enables full JTAG-like debugging, flash programming, and real-time variable inspection without dedicated debug header. |
| P0[0]–P0[7] | General-purpose I/O | Support CAPSENSE™, analog input, or digital function; configurable pull-up/down and drive strength - used for touch buttons or ADC inputs in reference designs. |
| P1[0]–P1[7] | General-purpose I/O | Same flexibility as P0; P1[4]/P1[5] default to SCB0 I²C SCL/SDA - simplifies connection to I²C peripherals without pin remapping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SmartSense™ auto-tuning | Hardware-accelerated CAPSENSE™ calibration eliminates manual firmware tuning - reduces development time by >70% for touch UI validation. |
| Reconfigurable SCBs | Each SCB dynamically switches between I²C/SPI/UART modes at runtime - enables firmware-driven protocol adaptation (e.g., SPI-to-UART bridge on demand). |
| Deep Sleep analog retention | Opamps and comparators remain operational with 2.5 µA system current - allows wake-on-touch or wake-on-threshold events without full MCU boot. |
| Programmable CTB opamps | Configurable as buffer, comparator, or transimpedance amplifier with internal/external drive options - supports current-mode sensor interfacing (e.g., photodiode) without external components. |
| TCPWM kill-input support | Hardware-triggered PWM shutdown via comparator output - provides <100 ns fault response for motor control safety-critical paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable mixed-signal MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C4147AZI-S423 | Same PSoC™ 4100S architecture but in 48LD TQFP; adds USBFS block and 128 KB flash. | Required for USB-connected devices (e.g., HID keyboards); not pin-compatible due to extra USB pins and larger package. | Select when USB device-class connectivity or extended flash for OTA updates is mandatory. |
| STM32G071KBT6 | Arm Cortex-M0+, 64 MHz, 128 KB flash, 36 KB SRAM; no integrated CAPSENSE™ or programmable analog blocks. | Relies on external touch controller and opamp ICs; higher BOM cost and PCB area for equivalent touch + analog functionality. | Select when pure digital control dominates and touch is handled separately via dedicated IC or external controller. |
Compared with CY8C4146LQI-S423T, CY8C4147AZI-S423 offers USB and more memory but requires layout changes, while STM32G071KBT6 demands external analog components - making the CY8C4146LQI-S423T optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained touch-integrated designs.

FAQ
Does CY8C4146LQI-S423T support USB communication?
No. This variant lacks a USBFS block. USB functionality is available only in higher-pin-count members of the PSoC™ 4100S family, such as CY8C4147AZI-S423. The CY8C4146LQI-S423T relies on its three SCBs for I²C, SPI, or UART communication - sufficient for most touch-centric, non-USB applications.
What development tools are officially supported for this device?
Infineon officially supports ModusToolbox™ (v3.x+) and legacy PSoC™ Creator (v4.4). ModusToolbox™ provides CMSIS-Pack-based BSPs, CAPSENSE™ Tuner GUI, and middleware for Bluetooth LE integration. PSoC™ Creator offers schematic-based design entry and automatic analog/digital routing - both fully validated for CY8C4146LQI-S423T.
Can the SAR ADC perform simultaneous sampling across multiple channels?
No. The 12-bit SAR ADC uses a single conversion core with a hardware channel sequencer. It supports rapid sequential sampling (up to 1 Msps aggregate) and signal averaging per channel, but true simultaneous sampling requires external analog multiplexing or a separate multi-channel ADC.
Is the 44-lead TQFP package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. The CY8C4146LQI-S423T is manufactured in compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request from Infineon's official product page or authorized distributors like Digi-Key and Mouser.
