Product details
Overview
CY8CMBR3116-LQXI from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress Semiconductor) is a register-configurable CapSense Express™ capacitive touch controller supporting 16 sensing inputs, 2 sliders, and proximity detection. It implements the Capacitive Sigma Delta PLUS (CSD PLUS) sensing algorithm with >100:1 SNR, SmartSense™ Auto-tuning for runtime calibration, and operates from 1.71 V to 5.5 V across –40 °C to +85 °C. It is used in industrial HMI panels requiring liquid-tolerant, noise-immune touch interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CY8CMBR3116-LQXI datasheet, CY8CMBR3116-LQXI pinout, CY8CMBR3116-LQXI application, or CY8CMBR3116-LQXI equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C slave interface (up to 400 kHz), flanking sensor suppression (FSS), analog voltage output capability, eight high-sink GPOs for LED drive, and system diagnostics for CMOD/CP/sensor short detection.
Technical Context
The CY8CMBR3116-LQXI integrates a dedicated analog sensing channel with CSD PLUS architecture, enabling 0.1 pF resolution and sensitivity up to 2 fF per count. Its SmartSense Auto-tuning continuously adjusts baseline and thresholds to compensate for environmental drift and manufacturing variation without host intervention.
It supports deep sleep mode with wake-on-I²C address match and interrupt-driven attention line signaling. The device delivers liquid tolerance via adaptive thresholding and mist/water rejection logic, validated for overlays up to 15 mm glass or 5 mm plastic.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touch controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTCH101-DFR | 8-channel, no slider/proximity support; lower SNR (75:1); no analog VOUT | Targeted for simple 4–8 button UIs without liquid tolerance or proximity wake-up | Select when BOM cost is primary constraint and feature set is minimal |
| AT42QT1070-MAHR | 7-button fixed-function IC; no I²C register access; no SmartSense; 12-bit resolution only | Used in cost-sensitive consumer remotes with static overlay geometry | Select only for legacy designs where requalification is prohibitive |
Compared with MTCH101-DFR and AT42QT1070-MAHR, CY8CMBR3116-LQXI provides full configurability, higher channel count, superior noise immunity, and production-ready auto-tuning-making it optimal for industrial and medical UIs where reliability and design flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the function of the CMOD pin and what capacitor value is required?
The CMOD pin connects an external 2.2 nF ±10% ceramic capacitor that sets the internal oscillator frequency and sensing gain. This capacitor must be placed within 5 mm of the pin with low-inductance routing. The device performs automatic diagnostics at startup and reports faults if CMOD is out of range or disconnected.
Does CY8CMBR3116-LQXI support proximity sensing through glass overlays?
Yes-it supports proximity detection up to 25 mm through 10 mm thick glass using optimized electrode geometry and SmartSense Auto-tuning. Proximity sensitivity is configurable per channel and validated per IEC 61000-4-3 radiated immunity testing at 10 V/m.
How does Flanking Sensor Suppression (FSS) prevent false touches on closely spaced buttons?
FSS uses real-time correlation between adjacent sensor channels to suppress phantom touches caused by finger spread or electromagnetic coupling. When two neighboring sensors report simultaneous but uncorrelated signals, the weaker signal is rejected-enabling reliable operation with button pitch as low as 2 mm.
Can the ATTENTION line be used without an I²C host controller?
No-the ATTENTION line is an active-low interrupt output that requires an I²C host to read status registers after assertion. It cannot operate standalone; the host must poll sensor data or configure interrupt masks via I²C to interpret the ATTENTION signal meaningfully.
