Product details
Overview
CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T from Cypress Semiconductor is a TrueTouch® capacitive touchscreen controller designed for 3.2-inch diagonal displays with 2-finger all-points tracking, 132 maximum nodes, and I²C/SPI dual-interface support. It operates from 1.71–3.6 V digital supply and 2.7–3.6 V analog supply, features Charger Armor™ noise immunity, and delivers >60 Hz refresh rate with <1.3 mA active current.
For engineers reviewing the CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T datasheet, CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T pinout, CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T application, or CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T equivalent, key selection criteria include 2-finger ghost-free tracking capability, 36-pin QFN package compatibility, industrial temperature range support, and dual-rail supply flexibility for portable touch UI designs.
Technical Context
The CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T implements a self-calibrating capacitive sensing engine with adaptive frequency hopping to suppress charger-induced noise and supports both chip-on-flex and chip-on-board sensor integration. Its CapSense®-based architecture enables large object detection and fat finger tracking without external firmware intervention.
It provides configurable I²C (up to 400 kHz) and SPI (2 Mbps sustained) interfaces with integrated bootloader for field upgrades, and operates across 1.71–3.6 V digital and 2.7–3.6 V analog rails - supporting single shared 2.7–3.6 V supply mode for simplified power design.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar touchscreen controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8CTMA140-LQI-09T | Supports 4-finger tracking (vs. 2) and same 132-node count; identical package and supply ranges | Required for pinch-to-zoom, multi-gesture UIs; not needed for basic tap/swipe navigation | Select when future-proofing for Android gesture compliance beyond basic touch |
| ATMXT224E-MAU | Microchip maXTouch® controller with 16-bit resolution, 5-finger tracking, and 2.8–3.6 V single-supply operation | Higher node density (up to 256) and deeper gesture library; requires different firmware stack | Choose for enhanced gesture fidelity and vendor-agnostic middleware support, accepting higher BOM cost |
Compared with CY8CTMA140-LQI-09T, this part trades multi-touch scalability for lower firmware complexity and reduced interrupt load; versus ATMXT224E-MAU, it offers tighter integration with Cypress PSoC ecosystem and lower power in deep sleep (1 µA vs. 5 µA), but lacks advanced gesture acceleration.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported touchscreen size for CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T?
The CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T is specified for up to 3.2-inch diagonal displays at 4:3 aspect ratio with 132-node configuration. While stretched pitch may allow limited use up to 4.5 inches, Cypress documentation confirms 3.2-inch as the validated maximum for guaranteed 2-finger ghost-free tracking and SNR performance.
Does CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T support single-supply operation?
Yes - it supports single shared supply from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, connecting both VDDIO and VDDA to the same rail. This eliminates need for separate analog/digital LDOs, simplifying power design for compact portable devices without compromising noise immunity or accuracy.
How does Charger Armor™ function in CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T?
Charger Armor™ uses real-time spectral analysis to detect switching noise harmonics from wall adapters, then dynamically shifts the sensor's scan frequency away from interfered bands. This occurs autonomously during operation without host CPU involvement or firmware updates.
Is CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T still in active production?
Although the summary datasheet (001-91025 Rev. *A) is marked obsolete, CY8CTMA140-LQI-01T remains orderable through authorized distributors and Aetrix Electronics with confirmed inventory. Cypress/Infineon maintains legacy support per its product discontinuance policy, including PCN notifications and last-time-buy windows.
