Product details
Overview
CY8CMBR3002-SX1I from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a register-configurable CapSense Express™ capacitive touch controller supporting two sensing inputs, SmartSense Auto-tuning, and I²C slave interface. It delivers >100:1 SNR, 0.1 pF sensitivity, and liquid-tolerant operation for robust button and proximity sensing in industrial HMI applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY8CMBR3002-SX1I datasheet, CY8CMBR3002-SX1I pinout, CY8CMBR3002-SX1I application, or CY8CMBR3002-SX1I equivalent, key selection criteria include sensing input count (2), SmartSense auto-calibration capability, I²C timing compliance (up to 400 kHz), deep-sleep current (22 µA per sensor), and SOIC-8 package compatibility with PCB layout constraints.
Technical Context
The CY8CMBR3002-SX1I implements the Capacitive Sigma Delta PLUS (CSD PLUS) sensing algorithm with dedicated analog front-end circuitry optimized for low-noise, high-SNR capacitive measurement. Its SmartSense Auto-tuning continuously adjusts baseline and thresholds using real-time environmental compensation without host intervention.
It operates as an I²C slave with hardware address match wake-up, supports up to 400 kHz clock rate, and provides interrupt-driven status reporting via ATTENTION line. The device integrates system diagnostics for CMOD capacitor validation, sensor short detection, and parasitic capacitance (5–45 pF) range monitoring.

Applications
| Industrial Control Panel | Home Appliance Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Touch-sensitive control panel on HVAC systems or programmable logic controllers requiring EMI resilience and long-term calibration stability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary capacitive sensing controller managing two dedicated user-input zones (e.g., power toggle + mode select).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touch controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT42QT1011-MAHR | Single-channel QTouch® controller; no SmartSense; fixed threshold; 1.8–5.5 V supply | Lacks auto-tuning and diagnostics; suited for cost-sensitive, static-layout designs with stable CP | Select when development time and environmental variability are low, and BOM cost is primary constraint |
| STMPE1600QTR | 16-channel I²C touch controller; no built-in auto-tuning; requires host firmware tuning | Higher channel count but demands external MCU resources for calibration and noise management | Select when scaling beyond 2 inputs is anticipated and host processing bandwidth is available |
Compared with AT42QT1011-MAHR and STMPE1600QTR, the CY8CMBR3002-SX1I uniquely combines zero-firmware configuration, real-time SmartSense adaptation, and integrated diagnostics-reducing qualification effort and field failure risk in variable-environment deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum overlay thickness supported by CY8CMBR3002-SX1I?
The CY8CMBR3002-SX1I supports up to 15 mm of glass or 5 mm of plastic overlay thickness due to its 0.1 pF sensitivity and CSD PLUS sensing algorithm. This is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C) and confirmed in the Rev. *Q datasheet, page 6.
Does CY8CMBR3002-SX1I require external firmware or host processor tuning?
No. The device is fully register-configurable via I²C and features SmartSense Auto-tuning, which autonomously calibrates thresholds and baselines in real time. No host firmware development or manual tuning is required-configuration is performed once using EZ-Click Customizer tool.
How does the device handle water or condensation on the touch surface?
It uses patented liquid-tolerance algorithms within the CSD PLUS engine to distinguish true touch from water artifacts. Combined with Flanking Sensor Suppression and dynamic noise filtering, it rejects false triggers from mist, droplets, and streaming water without requiring special overlay coatings or drain patterns.
What diagnostic capabilities are built into CY8CMBR3002-SX1I?
The device monitors modulating capacitor (CMOD) value validity, detects sensor shorts, and validates parasitic capacitance (CP) within the 5–45 pF operational range. These diagnostics are accessible via I²C registers and reported through the ATTENTION line, enabling automated production testing and field health monitoring.
