Product details
Overview
CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller with dual-bank flash (240 KB + 16 KB), 32 KB SRAM (16 KB SRAM0 + 16 KB SRAM1), USB 2.0 Full-Speed device/host interface, and integrated LCD controller supporting up to 40×8 segments. It operates at up to 40 MHz, supports six low-power modes including Deep Standby RTC, and targets embedded control in industrial HMI and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1 datasheet, CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1 pinout, CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1 application, or CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-operation flash architecture, USB host/device coexistence, 24-channel 12-bit ADC with FIFO, hardware flow control on UART ch.4, and 83 GPIOs in 100-pin LQFP package with port relocation.
Technical Context
This MCU implements an ARM Cortex-M3 r2p1 core with integrated NVIC (48 peripheral interrupts + 1 NMI), SysTick timer, and dual-bus SRAM architecture-SRAM0 on I-code/D-code buses, SRAM1 on system bus-enabling concurrent CPU and DMA access. It features a dedicated USB PLL for clock generation and supports simultaneous erase/write/read across independent flash banks.
The peripheral set includes an 8-channel DMA controller with 32-bit addressing, HDMI-CEC/remote receiver (2 channels), RTC with leap-year support, and dual watchdogs: hardware (CR oscillator-clocked, active in all low-power modes except Deep Standby Stop/RTC), and software. Clock supervision uses built-in CR oscillators to detect external clock stop/frequency anomaly.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-bank Flash Memory | Enables over-the-air firmware updates by erasing/writing one bank while executing from the other - critical for field-deployed industrial controllers. |
| USB Device + Host Coexistence | Single silicon supports both roles with shared PHY and dedicated PLL - reduces BOM cost and simplifies design of USB-enabled HMI panels with peripheral attachment capability. |
| Hardware Flow Control (UART ch.4) | Automatic CTS/RTS handshake prevents data loss during high-speed serial communication - essential for reliable debug or sensor telemetry links. |
| Port Relocation Function | Allows runtime remapping of peripheral functions (e.g., UART, I²C, CSIO) to alternate GPIO pins - increases PCB layout flexibility and mitigates routing congestion. |
| Deep Standby RTC Mode | Maintains RTC time and optionally preserves SRAM contents while consuming <1 μA - extends battery life in portable medical or metering devices. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supported voltage range for CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1?
The CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1 operates at up to 40 MHz with a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V. When USB functionality is used, VCC must be maintained between 3.0 V and 3.6 V. The device supports five clock sources including external oscillators (4–48 MHz), built-in CR oscillators (4 MHz and 100 kHz), and a main PLL for frequency multiplication.
Does CY9AFB42NBBGL-GK9E1 support USB host mode, and what peripherals can it connect to?
Yes, it supports USB 2.0 Full-Speed and Low-Speed host mode with automatic device detection, IN/OUT token handshake, and up to 256-byte packet length. It can connect to standard USB peripherals such as flash drives, HID keyboards/mice, and CDC-class devices-enabling field firmware updates and human interface expansion without external USB host controllers.
How does the dual-bank flash architecture improve firmware reliability?
Dual-bank flash allows independent erase, write, and read operations on upper (240 KB) and lower (16 KB) banks. This enables background firmware updates: new code is written to one bank while the system executes from the other, eliminating downtime and preventing corruption during power loss-critical for unattended industrial deployments.
Can the LCD controller drive custom segment displays, and what bias options are available?
Yes, the integrated LCDC supports up to 40 SEG × 8 COM with selectable 4-COM or 8-COM modes. It includes built-in dividing resistors for LCD bias generation and dedicated VV0–VV4 pins for external bias adjustment. The blinking function allows automatic on/off toggling of segments without CPU intervention, reducing firmware overhead in static display applications.
