Product details
Overview
CY8C4248LQI-BL453 from Infineon is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0 microcontroller integrating AIROC™ Bluetooth® LE 4.2 radio, 48 MHz CPU, 256 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, and programmable analog/digital blocks. It delivers embedded wireless control for battery-powered IoT endpoints with integrated capacitive sensing, LCD drive, and low-power operation down to 150 nA in Hibernate mode.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4248LQI-BL453 datasheet, CY8C4248LQI-BL453 pinout, CY8C4248LQI-BL453 application, or CY8C4248LQI-BL453 equivalent, key selection criteria include BLE RF performance (–89 dBm RX sensitivity, +3 dBm TX), Deep Sleep current (1.5 µA), SAR ADC resolution (12-bit, 1-Msps), GPIO count (up to 36), and package compatibility (7 mm × 7 mm 56-pin QFN).
Technical Context
This MCU implements a tightly coupled BLE subsystem (BLESS) with dedicated digital PHY and link-layer engine supporting concurrent master/slave roles. Its dual-clock architecture uses IMO (internal main oscillator) at 48 MHz for CPU execution and WCO (watch crystal oscillator) for ultra-low-power timing during Deep Sleep.
The analog subsystem includes four opamps with Comparator mode and ADC input buffering, plus a 12-bit SAR ADC with channel sequencer and signal averaging-enabling high-SNR capacitive sensing via CSD and SmartSense hardware tuning without firmware overhead.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Bluetooth® LE microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nordic nRF52840-QIAA | ARM Cortex-M4F core, 1 MB flash, no integrated capacitive sensing or LCD drive; higher TX power (+8 dBm) but larger 7×7 mm QFN-48 package | Better for compute-intensive BLE mesh or USB-CDC applications; lacks native CAPSENSE™ and segment LCD support | Select when floating-point math or USB connectivity is required; avoid if touch interface or low-cost LCD integration is critical |
| Texas Instruments CC2642R1F | ARM Cortex-M4F, 352 KB flash, integrated RF balun, lower Deep Sleep current (1.1 µA), but no programmable analog blocks or UDBs | Optimized for long-range BLE beacons and sensor nodes with minimal analog signal conditioning needs | Select for RF layout simplicity and lowest sleep current; avoid when hardware-accelerated capacitive sensing or custom digital logic is needed |
Compared with nRF52840-QIAA and CC2642R1F, CY8C4248LQI-BL453 uniquely integrates programmable analog/digital fabric with BLE-reducing system BOM count by eliminating discrete opamps, comparators, and logic ICs while enabling field-tunable sensor interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the Arm® Cortex®-M0 CPU in CY8C4248LQI-BL453?
The CPU operates at up to 48 MHz, enabled by the internal main oscillator (IMO) with optional PLL multiplication. This frequency is fully supported across all voltage ranges (1.71–5.5 V) and temperature grades (–40°C to +85°C), and is verified in the device's AC electrical specifications table (Section 5.2.1 of datasheet 002-23053 Rev. *B).
Does CY8C4248LQI-BL453 support Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates?
Yes-OTA DFU is fully supported via the BLE stack using the standard BLE Device Firmware Update service (0x180A). Infineon provides reference firmware (AN91267, AN97060) and bootloader components in PSoC™ Creator that implement secure, banked flash swapping with rollback protection and CRC validation.
Can the integrated opamps operate in Deep Sleep mode?
Yes-four opamps can remain powered and functional in Deep Sleep mode when configured with appropriate clock sources (e.g., WCO or LFCLK). They support comparator mode and ADC input buffering, enabling wake-on-analog-event functionality without CPU intervention, as documented in Section 1.4.2 of the datasheet.
What is the RF matching network requirement for the onboard PCB antenna?
The device requires a pi-network matching circuit consisting of two series capacitors (C1, C2) and one shunt capacitor (C3) between the RF pin (P12[3]) and antenna feed point. Component values depend on PCB stack-up and antenna geometry; AN91445 provides layout guidelines and simulation-based tuning procedures for 2.4 GHz band optimization.
