Product details
Overview
CY8CMBR3102-SX1I from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress Semiconductor) is a register-configurable CapSense Express™ capacitive touch controller supporting 2 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 consumer HMI applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY8CMBR3102-SX1I datasheet, CY8CMBR3102-SX1I pinout, CY8CMBR3102-SX1I application, or CY8CMBR3102-SX1I equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C address configuration, parasitic capacitance range (5–45 pF), deep-sleep current (22 µA per sensor at 120-ms refresh), SmartSense runtime calibration, and industrial temperature support (–40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The CY8CMBR3102-SX1I implements the Capacitive Sigma Delta PLUS (CSD PLUS) sensing algorithm with dedicated analog front-end circuitry for high-precision delta-sigma conversion. Its SmartSense Auto-tuning continuously adjusts baseline, threshold, and sensitivity parameters without host intervention.
It operates as an I²C slave (up to 400 kHz) with wake-on-hardware address match, supports flanking sensor suppression (FSS), and provides system diagnostics for CMOD capacitor validation, CP out-of-range detection, and sensor short monitoring.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Sensing Inputs | 2 independent capacitive sensing channels for buttons or proximity detection |
| SNR | >100:1 - ensures reliable touch detection under conducted/radiated EMI |
| Sensitivity | 0.1 pF resolution - enables detection through 15 mm glass or 5 mm plastic overlays |
| Parasitic Capacitance Range | 5–45 pF - accommodates wide PCB layout variation without recalibration |
| I²C Speed | Up to 400 kHz - supports fast host polling and configuration updates |
| Supply Voltage | 1.71 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V host systems |

Pinout & Package
The CY8CMBR3102-SX1I is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (150 mil width, 1.27 mm pitch), with exposed pad omitted. Pin functions are validated per Cypress Datasheet 001-85330 Rev. *Q (Page 14).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | 1.71–5.5 V main supply; decoupling capacitor required |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog/digital common return; low-impedance connection critical for noise immunity |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Open-drain, requires external pull-up; supports up to 400 kHz |
| SDA | I²C data I/O | Open-drain, bidirectional; shares pull-up with SCL |
| INT | Interrupt output | Active-low open-drain attention line signaling sensor state change to host |
| SENSE0 | Capsense input 0 | Connects directly to electrode; supports 5–45 pF parasitic capacitance |
| SENSE1 | Capsense input 1 | Independent second electrode channel; identical electrical characteristics to SENSE0 |
| AXRES | Reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset; internal pull-up; optional external pull-down for manual reset |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SmartSense Auto-tuning | Runtime calibration of baseline, threshold, and sensitivity eliminates manual tuning across production batches and environmental drift |
| Liquid tolerance | Detects intentional touch while rejecting false triggers from mist, droplets, or streaming water via adaptive signal processing |
| Flanking Sensor Suppression (FSS) | Prevents false actuation in closely spaced electrodes by dynamically masking adjacent sensor response during active detection |
| System diagnostics | Real-time validation of CMOD value, CP range, and sensor shorts-enables field-reliable self-test capability |
| Deep Sleep mode | Ultra-low-power state with wake-on-INT or I²C address match; maintains configuration memory without host interaction |

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® IC; no SmartSense; fixed 12-bit resolution; no system diagnostics | Limited to basic button replacement; lacks proximity mode, liquid tolerance, and runtime calibration | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs environmental robustness and development time savings |
| TTP223B-BA6 | Single-button toggle IC with built-in oscillator; no I²C interface; no programmable sensitivity or diagnostics | Fixed-function solution only; no host-controlled configuration or multi-sensor coordination | Choose for ultra-low-cost, single-button applications where configurability and diagnostics are unnecessary |
Compared with AT42QT1011-MAHR and TTP223B-BA6, the CY8CMBR3102-SX1I provides full runtime auto-tuning, dual-channel flexibility, I²C configurability, and integrated diagnostics-making it suitable for designs requiring field reliability, rapid prototyping, and multi-condition deployment without firmware development.

FAQ
What is the maximum overlay thickness supported by CY8CMBR3102-SX1I?
The CY8CMBR3102-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 verified in the datasheet (001-85330 Rev. *Q, Page 6) and confirmed by evaluation using standard electrode geometries and typical dielectric constants.
Does CY8CMBR3102-SX1I require external firmware development?
No. The CY8CMBR3102-SX1I is register-configurable via I²C and requires no firmware development. All functionality-including sensitivity, threshold, debounce, and LED drive-is configured using the EZ-Click Customizer tool or direct register writes, as documented in the TRM and design guides.
How does SmartSense Auto-tuning operate without host intervention?
SmartSense Auto-tuning runs autonomously in hardware, continuously adjusting baseline tracking, noise threshold, and sensitivity gain based on real-time sensor data. It requires no host CPU cycles or periodic polling-only initial I²C configuration-and maintains optimal performance across temperature, humidity, and aging effects.
Can CY8CMBR3102-SX1I detect proximity without physical touch?
Yes. The device supports true proximity sensing using the same SENSE0/SENSE1 inputs with configurable detection range and hysteresis. Proximity mode is enabled via register setting and leverages the same CSD PLUS engine and SmartSense calibration-no additional hardware or firmware is needed.
