Product details
Overview
CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller with dual-bank flash (240 KB + 16 KB), 32 KB on-chip SRAM (16 KB SRAM0 + 16 KB SRAM1), and integrated LCD controller supporting up to 40 SEG × 8 COM. It operates at up to 40 MHz, supports six low-power modes including Deep Standby RTC, and targets embedded control in industrial HMI and appliance panels.
For engineers reviewing the CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 datasheet, CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 pinout, CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 application, or CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-operation flash capability, hardware flow control on UART ch.4, HDMI-CEC transceiver support, and 5 V-tolerant I/O on selected pins for mixed-voltage interface design.
Technical Context
This MCU implements the ARM Cortex-M3 r2p1 core with an integrated Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) supporting 48 peripheral interrupts across 16 priority levels and a 24-bit SysTick timer for RTOS scheduling. Its memory subsystem features independent I-code/D-code and system buses enabling concurrent CPU and DMA access to SRAM0 and SRAM1.
The peripheral set includes an 8-channel DMA controller with 32-bit addressing, dual 12-bit ADCs (2.0 μs conversion @ 2.7–3.6 V), and a programmable LCD controller with internal bias resistors and blinking function - all clocked from selectable sources including 32.768 kHz sub-clock and 4 MHz built-in CR oscillator.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core | ARM Cortex-M3 r2p1, 40 MHz max - enables deterministic real-time control with Thumb-2 instruction set and NVIC for low-latency interrupt handling. |
| Flash Memory | 256 KB dual-bank (240 KB upper + 16 KB lower), 0-wait-state read - allows background firmware updates without halting execution. |
| SRAM | 32 KB total (16 KB SRAM0 on I/D bus + 16 KB SRAM1 on system bus) - supports simultaneous CPU instruction fetch and DMA data transfer. |
| ADC | Dual 12-bit SAR ADC, 2.0 μs conversion time @ 2.7–3.6 V - suitable for fast-sampling sensor interfaces in motor control or power monitoring. |
| LCDC | 40 SEG × 8 COM, internal bias resistors, blinking function - drives segment-based displays without external voltage dividers or timing ICs. |
| Low-Power Modes | Six modes including Deep Standby RTC with RAM retention - extends battery life in always-on remote control receivers and smart meter displays. |
| HDMI-CEC | Integrated transmitter/receiver with automatic ACK, arbitration loss detection, and 1-byte block transmission - enables direct CEC protocol handling without external transceivers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 100-pin LQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VSS | Power supply / Ground | Core I/O supply (1.65–3.6 V); separate analog ground pins reduce noise coupling into ADC/LCDC circuits. |
| P00–P07, P10–P17, etc. | General-purpose I/O | Up to 83 GPIOs; port relocate function allows flexible peripheral mapping; some pins are 5 V tolerant for legacy interface compatibility. |
| XTAL1/XTAL2 | Main clock oscillator input | Accepts 4–48 MHz crystal or external clock source; feeds main PLL for high-speed core operation. |
| OSC32K | Sub-clock input | 32.768 kHz crystal connection for RTC and low-power timer functions during Stop/Deep Standby modes. |
| LCDD0–LCDD7, LCDSEG0–LCDSEG39 | LCD data and segment drivers | Direct drive of up to 320 segment electrodes; internal voltage divider eliminates need for external bias network. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-operation Flash | Independent erase/write/read on upper and lower banks enables seamless firmware field updates without application interruption. |
| Hardware Flow Control (UART ch.4) | CTS/RTS handshake support prevents buffer overrun in high-throughput serial communication with external modems or sensors. |
| Integrated HDMI-CEC Transceiver | Full protocol stack handling - header generation, arbitration, ACK reply, and error detection - reduces BOM count and firmware overhead. |
| Port Relocate Function | Runtime remapping of peripheral functions (e.g., UART, I²C) to alternate GPIO pins simplifies PCB layout and avoids signal congestion. |
| Two-stage LVD | LVD1 triggers interrupt for graceful shutdown; LVD2 asserts reset below safe operating voltage - ensures reliable brown-out recovery. |
Applications
| Industrial HMI Panels | Smart Appliance Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM32F103VCT6 | Single-bank 256 KB Flash, no integrated LCDC or HDMI-CEC; 72 MHz max clock; 48 KB SRAM. | Requires external LCD driver and CEC transceiver; better suited for general-purpose control without display integration. | Select when higher CPU performance is prioritized over display/CEC integration and external component count must be minimized. |
| RA4M1 (R7FA4M1AB3CFM) | ARM Cortex-M4F core, 48 MHz, 256 KB Flash, 32 KB SRAM; includes segment LCD controller but no HDMI-CEC. | Lacks native CEC support; adds FPU for floating-point math; uses Renesas' Flexible Software Package instead of CMSIS. | Choose for applications needing DSP capability or migration path to Renesas ecosystem, accepting added software abstraction layer. |
Compared with STM32F103VCT6 and RA4M1, CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 uniquely integrates dual-bank flash, full HDMI-CEC transceiver, and 40×8 segment LCD driver in a single 100-pin LQFP package - reducing system-level BOM cost and firmware complexity for display-centric consumer electronics.

FAQ
Does CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 support external memory expansion?
Yes, it includes an External Bus Interface supporting up to 256 MB address space with 8 chip selects and 8-/16-bit data width. However, this feature is explicitly disabled in the CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 variant per the datasheet - only CY9AA40NB series members with "LB" or "MB" suffixes implement EBI functionality.
What debug interfaces does CY9AFA42NBPQC-G-JNE2 provide?
It supports Serial Wire JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP) compliant with ARM CoreSight standards. Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) is not implemented in this variant - only SWJ-DP is available for breakpoint setting, register inspection, and flash programming via standard tools like Segger J-Link or ST-Link v2 adapters.
Is the LCD controller capable of driving graphic LCDs?
No, the integrated LCDC is strictly a segment-type controller supporting up to 40 segment lines and 8 common lines (320 segments max). It lacks frame buffer RAM, pixel-addressing logic, or RGB interface - making it unsuitable for dot-matrix or TFT displays requiring graphical rendering.
How is the Unique ID used in secure boot implementations?
The factory-programmed 41-bit Unique ID is accessible via dedicated register and can serve as entropy source or device-specific key seed in bootloader authentication routines. It is not writable or erasable, ensuring consistent identification across firmware versions and enabling binding of cryptographic keys to hardware identity.
