Product details
Overview
CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T from Cypress Semiconductor is a TrueTouch® capacitive touchscreen controller designed for 4.5-inch diagonal displays, supporting up to 252 sense intersections and 2-finger all-points tracking with 0.5 mm positional accuracy and 3.5 mm finger separation. It operates on dual-rail supplies (1.71–3.6 V digital, 2.7–3.6 V analog), features Charger Armor™ noise immunity, and delivers >60 Hz refresh rate in active mode.
For engineers reviewing the CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T datasheet, CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T pinout, CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T application, or CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T equivalent, key selection criteria include 48-pin QFN package compatibility, I²C/SPI interface support, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 2-finger ghost-free tracking capability, and integrated CapSense® button handling for compact HMI designs.
Technical Context
This controller implements a self-calibrating capacitive sensing architecture with adaptive frequency hopping to suppress noise from LCD drivers, battery chargers, and RF sources. Its signal processing pipeline includes real-time smart noise suppression and on-chip gesture decoding optimized for Android and Windows Phone Series 7 compliance.
The device supports configurable sensor stackups-including glass and plastic film-and accommodates chip-on-flex or chip-on-board integration. Bootloader-enabled field upgrades and manufacturing test firmware are embedded, eliminating external programming infrastructure during production.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar touchscreen controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATMXT224E-MAU | 4-finger tracking, 2.8–3.6 V single-supply only, no analog/digital rail separation | Requires simpler power design but lacks analog domain optimization for SNR-critical layouts | Prefer when 4-finger support is mandatory and supply simplification outweighs SNR trade-off |
| FT5406EVB | Single-rail 2.8–3.3 V, no Charger Armor™, fixed 50 Hz max refresh at full load | Lacks adaptive noise immunity; unsuitable for charger-noise environments without external filtering | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-EMI indoor applications where 2-finger tracking suffices |
Compared with ATMXT224E-MAU and FT5406EVB, CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T provides superior SNR and charger noise resilience due to its dual-rail architecture and adaptive frequency hopping-critical for battery-powered devices with aggressive charging profiles.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported touchscreen size for CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T?
The device is specified for up to 4.5-inch diagonal displays with 4:3 aspect ratio and 252-node sensor arrays. While stretched-pitch configurations may enable 7-inch operation, Cypress validates only 4.5-inch performance per datasheet Rev. *A. Larger sizes require custom tuning and are not guaranteed for SNR or accuracy.
Does CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T support glove touch or stylus input?
It supports large-object detection and fat-finger tracking, enabling reliable operation with thin gloves (≤1 mm thickness). Passive stylus detection is possible via proximity sensing on the same electrode grid, but active stylus protocols (e.g., EMR, AES) are not supported-only mutual-capacitance touch events.
Can CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes-it supports single shared supply from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, connecting both VDDIO and VDDA to the same rail. However, separating analog and digital supplies improves SNR by >10 dB in noisy environments, and Cypress recommends independent filtering per the layout guide.
Is bootloader-based firmware update supported in CY8CTMA140-48LQI-01T?
Yes-the device includes an integrated bootloader accessible via I²C or SPI. Field updates require host-initiated commands and signed firmware images; no external programmer is needed. Bootloader version and update protocol are documented in the TrueTouch Host Communications Protocol specification.
