Product details
Overview
CY8C4146LQS-S423 from Infineon is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive-qualified 32-bit PSoC™ Automotive 4100S microcontroller featuring an Arm® Cortex®-M0+ CPU running at 48 MHz, 64 KB flash, 8 KB SRAM, and integrated CAPSENSE™ capacitive sensing with >5:1 SNR. It supports LIN slave, I²C/SPI/UART via reconfigurable SCBs, and operates from –40°C to +105°C in a 40-pin QFN package for body control modules and smart sensors.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4146LQS-S422 datasheet, CY8C4146LQS-S423 pinout, CY8C4146LQS-S423 application, or CY8C4146LQS-S423 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 S-grade temperature rating, programmable analog (2 opamps, 12-bit SAR ADC), TCPWM kill-signal triggering for motor safety, and CAPSENSE™ water-tolerant touch interface design.
Technical Context
The device implements a tightly coupled mixed-signal architecture where the Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core interfaces directly with configurable digital logic blocks (PLD-style UDBs) and analog resources including continuous-time opamps with Deep Sleep operation and a dedicated capacitance-sensing sigma-delta (CSD) block. All analog and digital peripherals are routed through a flexible interconnect matrix enabling runtime reconfiguration without hardware changes.
Its timing subsystem integrates five 16-bit TCPWM blocks supporting center-aligned PWM, comparator-triggered kill signals, and hardware-based dead-time insertion-critical for automotive motor control. The three serial communication blocks (SCBs) support concurrent I²C master/slave, SPI, UART, and LIN slave modes with independent clocking and DMA support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm® Cortex®-M0+ @ 48 MHz - deterministic real-time execution with Thumb-2 instruction set and NVIC for low-latency interrupt handling. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash (with read accelerator) + 8 KB SRAM - sufficient for AUTOSAR-compliant boot code, sensor fusion algorithms, and LIN protocol stack. |
| Analog Peripherals | 12-bit 1-Msps SAR ADC (differential/single-ended), 2 opamps (Deep Sleep capable), 2 IDACs - enables simultaneous battery voltage monitoring, thermistor reading, and CAPSENSE™ electrode biasing. |
| Digital Peripherals | 5 × 16-bit TCPWM, 3 × SCB (I²C/SPI/UART/LIN), programmable logic (UDB) - supports multi-channel motor phase control, diagnostics bus, and custom glue logic without external ICs. |

| SCB0_SDA / SCB0_SCL | I²C interface | Configurable as I²C master/slave with programmable clock stretch and address masking - used for communication with EEPROM or ambient light sensor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification | Validated for automotive use up to +105°C ambient with full reliability testing (HTOL, TC, ESD, EMC), eliminating need for additional qualification effort in Tier-1 designs. |
| Programmable analog routing | Opamp outputs and ADC inputs can be connected to any GPIO via internal analog bus - enables flexible sensor signal conditioning without PCB layout changes. |
| CAPSENSE™ CSD with smart sensing | Hardware-accelerated auto-tuning adjusts baseline and threshold dynamically - reduces firmware overhead and improves false-touch immunity in humid environments. |
| Deep Sleep mode (2.5 µA) | Digital system current drops to 2.5 µA while retaining SRAM content and operating opamps/ADC - extends battery life in always-on vehicle entry systems. |
| Reconfigurable SCBs | Three independent serial blocks each support I²C, SPI, UART, or LIN slave on-the-fly via register writes - simplifies integration of diverse sensors and legacy vehicle networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon CY8C4147LQI-S423 | Same core and peripheral set but in 48-pin QFN; adds 2 extra GPIO and 1 additional SCB channel. | Required when more serial interfaces or GPIOs are needed for multi-sensor clusters or dual-LIN gateways. | Select only if pin count and peripheral expansion justify larger footprint and cost premium. |
| NXP S32K144HAT0MLHT | ARM Cortex-M4F core, higher clock (112 MHz), CAN FD support, no integrated CAPSENSE™; requires external touch controller. | Suitable for powertrain or chassis domains needing CAN FD and floating-point math, not touch-centric body electronics. | Choose when CAN FD connectivity or DSP-intensive control loops outweigh CAPSENSE™ integration benefits. |
Compared with CY8C4146LQS-S423, CY8C4147LQI-S423 offers expanded I/O at higher cost and size, while S32K144HAT0MLHT provides CAN FD and M4F performance but lacks native capacitive sensing-making CY8C4146LQS-S423 optimal for cost-sensitive, touch-integrated automotive body ECUs.

FAQ
Is CY8C4146LQS-S423 qualified for automotive use?
Yes. It is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified (–40°C to +105°C), with full reliability test reports covering HTOL, temperature cycling, ESD (HBM ±2 kV), and EMC compliance per ISO 11452 and ISO 7637. Certification documentation is available through Infineon's official support portal.
Does it support CAN bus communication?
No. CY8C4146LQS-S423 does not include a CAN controller or physical layer. It supports LIN slave, I²C, SPI, and UART via its three reconfigurable SCBs. For CAN-based systems, pairing with a discrete CAN transceiver (e.g., TJA1043) and software protocol stack is required.
What development tools are supported?
ModusToolbox™ 3.x is the official IDE, providing PDL-based APIs, configurator GUI for peripheral setup, and debug support via KitProg3. Hardware evaluation is enabled by the CY8CKIT-044 PSoC™ 4100S Pioneer Kit, which includes onboard CAPSENSE™ sliders, LIN transceiver, and Arduino-compatible headers.
Can the internal opamps drive external loads directly?
Yes - each opamp supports up to 25 mA output current in high-drive external mode and can buffer ADC inputs or drive small actuators like piezo buzzers. Output swing is rail-to-rail, and gain configuration is programmable via firmware using the Opamp_PDL API.
