Product details
Overview
CY8C4248LQI-BL483 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 supports capacitive sensing, LCD drive, and dual SCBs for I²C/SPI/UART in a 7 mm × 7 mm 56-pin QFN package - deployed in wireless human interface devices, BLE sensor nodes, and smart home edge controllers.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C4248LQI-BL483 datasheet, CY8C4248LQI-BL483 pinout, CY8C4248LQI-BL483 application, or CY8C4248LQI-BL483 equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated BLE PHY performance (–89 dBm RX sensitivity, +3 dBm TX), Deep Sleep current (1.5 µA with WCO), SAR ADC resolution (12-bit, 1-Msps), GPIO count (up to 36), and PSoC™ Creator toolchain compatibility.
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 RF transceiver delivers –18 dBm to +3 dBm output power and integrates RSSI measurement with 1-dB resolution.
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. Digital flexibility comes from four UDBs (each with eight macrocells) and two reconfigurable SCBs - enabling hardware-defined state machines and runtime peripheral remapping without firmware reload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm® Cortex®-M0, 48 MHz with single-cycle multiply and DMA - enables real-time sensor fusion and BLE stack execution within tight timing budgets. |
| Memory | 256 KB flash (with read accelerator), 32 KB SRAM - sufficient for BLE host stack, custom profiles, and application firmware with over-the-air update capability. |
| BLE Performance | RX sensitivity: –89 dBm; TX output: –18 dBm to +3 dBm - ensures robust 10–30 m indoor link range with standard PCB antenna. |
| ADC | 12-bit SAR, 1-Msps, differential/single-ended, channel sequencer with averaging - supports high-accuracy temperature, battery, or environmental sensing. |
| Power Modes | Deep Sleep: 1.5 µA (WCO active); Hibernate: 150 nA (RAM retention) - extends coin-cell battery life to multi-year operation in periodic-sensing applications. |
| GPIO | Up to 36 programmable pins; any pin supports CAPSENSE™, LCD, analog, or digital functions - eliminates external routing logic for mixed-signal UI designs. |

FAQ
Does CY8C4248LQI-BL483 support Bluetooth® 5.0 or later?
No. This device implements Bluetooth® Low Energy 4.2 only, including LE Data Length Extension and Secure Connections. It does not support Bluetooth® 5.0 features such as 2 Mbps PHY, Long Range (Coded PHY), or Advertising Extensions. Firmware updates cannot enable these capabilities due to hardware-level PHY limitations.
Can the on-chip opamps drive external loads directly?
Yes - each of the four opamps supports high-drive external mode with up to 25 mA output current and rail-to-rail output swing. They can directly drive LEDs, small solenoids, or capacitive touch electrodes without external buffers, provided supply voltage and thermal limits are observed per datasheet Section 5.3.1.
Is PSoC™ Creator still supported for CY8C4248LQI-BL483 development?
Yes. Infineon continues to provide full PSoC™ Creator 4.4 support, including component libraries, code generation, and debug tools for this device. While ModusToolbox™ is now Infineon's strategic IDE, PSoC™ Creator remains actively maintained and qualified for production use with CY8C42xx-BL devices through 2027.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous BLE transmission?
The device is rated for continuous operation up to +85 °C ambient temperature under full BLE TX load (0 dBm, 15.6 mA). At +105 °C, derating applies: maximum sustained TX duty cycle drops to 10% to maintain junction temperature ≤125 °C, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings Table 5.1.
