Product details
Overview
CY8CMBR3145-LQXI from Infineon Technologies is a capacitive touch controller MCU with 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 core, 8 KB flash, 2 KB SRAM, and integrated CapSense® analog front-end supporting up to 14 self- or mutual-capacitance sensors in 16-pin QFN package; used in industrial HMI panels and consumer appliance control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CY8CMBR3145-LQXI datasheet, CY8CMBR3145-LQXI pinout, CY8CMBR3145-LQXI application, or CY8CMBR3145-LQXI equivalent, key selection criteria include CapSense channel count, operating voltage range (1.71–5.5 V), I²C/SPI interface support, built-in low-power modes, and AEC-Q100 qualification status.
Technical Context
This device integrates a dedicated CapSense sensing engine with hardware-accelerated baseline tracking and noise rejection algorithms, enabling robust touch detection under wet or noisy conditions. It supports both self-capacitance (up to 14 buttons/sliders) and mutual-capacitance (up to 8 channels) configurations with programmable scan resolution (6–16 bits).
The MCU includes a 24 MHz internal IMO clock, configurable watchdog timer, and power management unit supporting Deep Sleep (0.5 µA typical) and Hibernate (100 nA) modes. All GPIOs are 5-V tolerant and support interrupt-on-change functionality for wake-up events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M0, 24 MHz max operation - enables real-time sensor processing without external host intervention. |
| Flash / SRAM | 8 KB flash / 2 KB SRAM - sufficient for CapSense firmware plus custom application logic and calibration data storage. |
| CapSense Channels | 14 self-cap or 8 mutual-cap channels - supports complex touchpads, sliders, and proximity wake-up zones in compact layouts. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.71–5.5 V - allows direct integration with 3.3 V or 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature consumer environments. |
| Interface | I²C (up to 1 MHz) and SPI (up to 12 MHz) - enables flexible host communication with microcontrollers or SoCs. |
| Low-Power Modes | Deep Sleep (0.5 µA), Hibernate (100 nA) - extends battery life in portable or energy-harvested touch interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
16-pin QFN (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad; RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Primary 1.71–5.5 V rail for core and analog blocks; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground shared; recommended star-point connection near exposed pad. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C bidirectional bus | Open-drain pins with internal pull-ups; support standard/fast-mode I²C up to 1 MHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touch controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32F072CBT6 | No integrated CapSense hardware; requires software-based touch library and external RC network - higher BOM cost and longer development time. | Lacks wet-finger tolerance and AEC-Q100 qualification; limited to commercial-temp consumer devices. | Choose when existing STM32 ecosystem reuse outweighs CapSense performance and qualification needs. |
| ATtiny1616-MFR | 8-bit AVR core, no dedicated touch engine; supports only self-capacitance with lower SNR and no shield drive capability. | Not qualified for automotive or medical use; maximum 8 sensors, no mutual-capacitance mode. | Select for cost-sensitive, low-channel-count applications where advanced noise immunity is not required. |
Compared with STM32F072CBT6 and ATtiny1616-MFR, CY8CMBR3145-LQXI delivers hardware-accelerated, production-ready capacitive sensing with automotive-grade reliability and minimal firmware overhead - critical for time-to-market in certified HMI designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of touch sensors supported by CY8CMBR3145-LQXI?
It supports up to 14 self-capacitance sensors or 8 mutual-capacitance sensors. Configuration is done via CapSense Designer tool; mutual-capacitance mode requires pairing CTP pins as transmitter/receiver sets, limiting total active channels to eight independent sensing nodes.
Does CY8CMBR3145-LQXI require an external crystal?
No. It uses an internal 24 MHz IMO (Internal Main Oscillator) with ±2% accuracy over temperature and voltage, sufficient for CapSense timing and I²C/SPI communication. An external crystal is optional only if tighter clock accuracy (<±0.5%) is needed for specific timing-critical host synchronization.
Can CY8CMBR3145-LQXI operate with a 5 V supply?
Yes. Its VDD range is 1.71–5.5 V, and all GPIOs are 5-V tolerant. When powered at 5 V, the internal LDO regulates core voltage to 1.2 V, maintaining full performance while allowing direct connection to 5 V system buses without level shifters.
Is there factory-programmed firmware on CY8CMBR3145-LQXI?
No. The device ships with blank flash memory. Firmware must be programmed via SWD interface using Infineon's ModusToolbox™ or PSoC Programmer. Pre-certified CapSense configuration files are available but require user-specific tuning for overlay thickness and environmental conditions.
