Product details
Overview
CY8C4146LQI-S433T from Infineon is a PSoC™ 4100S-series programmable system-on-chip integrating an Arm® Cortex®-M0+ CPU (48 MHz), 64 KB flash, 8 KB SRAM, and dedicated CAPSENSE™ capacitive sensing with >5:1 SNR. It supports reconfigurable analog (dual opamps, 12-bit 1-Msps SAR ADC, dual IDACs) and digital blocks (TCPWM, SCB, Smart I/O), targeting human-interface and low-power embedded control applications including touch-enabled industrial HMI and battery-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4146LQI-S433T datasheet, CY8C4146LQI-S433T pinout, CY8C4146LQI-S433T application, or CY8C4146LQI-S433T equivalent, key selection criteria include deep-sleep current (2.5 µA), CAPSENSE™ water tolerance, reconfigurable serial communication (I²C/SPI/UART), and GPIO flexibility (36 pins, all CAPSENSE™-capable).
Technical Context
The device implements a tightly coupled mixed-signal architecture where the Cortex®-M0+ core coordinates programmable analog blocks (CTB opamps, SAR ADC, CSD sigma-delta engine) and digital peripherals (TCPWM, SCB, Smart I/O). All analog resources-including opamps and comparators-remain operational in Deep Sleep mode at 2.5 µA system current.
Its clock system integrates three independent sources: ±2% IMO, 32 kHz ILO, and external WCO, enabling precise timing for CAPSENSE™ auto-tuning (SmartSense) and synchronous serial communication. The 36-GPIO TQFP-48 package routes signals through flexible interconnect fabric supporting concurrent analog acquisition, digital logic, and touch scanning 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 sensor fusion and deterministic interrupt response in resource-constrained systems. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash (with read accelerator) + 8 KB SRAM - supports firmware updates and local data buffering without external memory. |
| Analog-to-Digital | 12-bit 1-Msps SAR ADC with sequencer and averaging - delivers high-resolution, low-latency acquisition for multi-channel sensor monitoring. |
| CAPSENSE™ Performance | Sigma-delta CSD with >5:1 SNR and hardware-based water tolerance - eliminates false triggers in humid or wet environments without firmware compensation. |
| Low-Power Operation | 2.5 µA Deep Sleep current with active analog (opamps, comparators, CSD) - extends battery life in always-on touch interfaces. |
| Serial Interfaces | Three reconfigurable SCBs supporting I²C, SPI, or UART simultaneously - simplifies connectivity to displays, sensors, and host controllers using shared pin resources. |
| GPIO Flexibility | 36 pins, all configurable as CAPSENSE™, analog input/output, or digital I/O with programmable drive strength and slew rate - reduces BOM count and PCB layer count. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin TQFP (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Core & I/O supply | 1.71–5.5 V input; powers digital logic, analog blocks, and GPIO; supports single-supply operation across industrial voltage ranges. |
| VSS | Digital ground | Reference return for digital circuitry; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane to maintain signal integrity and noise immunity. |
| P0[0]–P0[7] | Programmable GPIO | Eight pins supporting CAPSENSE™, analog input (SAR ADC), opamp output, or digital I/O; configurable drive modes enable direct LED/LCD segment driving. |
| P1[0]–P1[7] | Programmable GPIO | Eight pins with Smart I/O capability - perform pre-processing (AND/OR/XOR) on incoming signals before CPU intervention, reducing latency and load. |
| SWDCLK / SWDIO | Debug interface | Two-pin Serial Wire Debug interface for programming and real-time debugging; operates independently of application code execution. |
| XRES | External reset | Active-low asynchronous reset input; debounced internally; allows system-level fault recovery without power cycle. |
| WCO_IN / WCO_OUT | 32 kHz crystal interface | Connects to external watch crystal for precision timing of CAPSENSE™ auto-tuning and low-power RTC functions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reconfigurable SCBs | Three serial blocks dynamically switch between I²C, SPI, and UART protocols at runtime - eliminates need for multiple fixed-function peripherals and simplifies firmware adaptation. |
| SmartSense Auto-Tuning | Hardware-accelerated CAPSENSE™ calibration adjusts sensor parameters automatically during operation - removes manual tuning effort and ensures consistent performance across temperature/humidity variations. |
| Deep Sleep Analog Retention | Opamps, comparators, and CSD remain fully functional at 2.5 µA system current - enables continuous touch wake-up detection without CPU wake-up overhead. |
| Programmable CTB Opamps | Dual continuous-time opamps support high-drive external mode (25 mA) or high-bandwidth internal mode (10 MHz GBW) - accommodates both actuator driving and precision signal conditioning in one chip. |
| TCPWM Flexibility | Five 16-bit timer/counter/PWM units with center-aligned, edge-aligned, and pseudo-random modulation - supports motor control, LED dimming, and encoder interfacing with minimal firmware overhead. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C4146AZI-S433 | Same core and analog features but in 40-pin QFN package (5 mm × 5 mm); lacks WCO pins and has fewer GPIOs (32 vs 36). | Preferred for space-constrained designs where crystal-less operation is acceptable and LCD driving is not required. | Select when board area is critical and external 32 kHz timing is unnecessary. |
| CY8C4247LQI-BL483 | Higher-performance variant: 80 MHz CPU, 256 KB flash, Bluetooth LE radio, same CAPSENSE™ engine and GPIO count. | Required for wireless-connected HMI or OTA-updatable devices; adds RF design complexity and higher power in active mode. | Choose when BLE connectivity and larger firmware footprint justify added cost and RF layout effort. |
Compared with CY8C4146LQI-S433T, CY8C4146AZI-S433 trades package size and WCO support for compactness, while CY8C4247LQI-BL483 adds wireless capability at the expense of power efficiency and design simplicity - making the S433T optimal for cost-sensitive, wired, low-power touch control.

FAQ
Does CY8C4146LQI-S433T support hardware-based CAPSENSE™ auto-tuning?
Yes. It includes SmartSense™ hardware acceleration for automatic CAPSENSE™ parameter adjustment during operation. This feature dynamically calibrates baseline, finger threshold, and noise thresholds without CPU intervention, ensuring consistent touch performance across environmental changes such as temperature drift or surface contamination.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the SAR ADC and its supported input modes?
The 12-bit SAR ADC operates at up to 1 Msps with differential and single-ended input configurations. It includes a 16-channel sequencer with hardware averaging (up to 64 samples per channel), enabling synchronized multi-sensor acquisition and noise reduction for precision analog measurements in noisy industrial environments.
Can the opamps in CY8C4146LQI-S433T drive external loads directly?
Yes. Each of the two continuous-time opamps supports high-drive external mode with up to 25 mA output current and rail-to-rail operation. This allows direct driving of LEDs, small solenoids, or analog front-end stages without external buffers - verified in Infineon's electrical specifications section 5.3.1.
Is the SWD debug interface accessible in all power modes?
Yes. The Serial Wire Debug (SWDCLK/SWDIO) interface remains active in all power modes except Hibernate. It supports full programming, breakpoint setting, and real-time variable inspection even during Deep Sleep with analog blocks active - confirmed in the device's system resources documentation (section 5.6.2).
