Product details
Overview
CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller with 256 KB dual-bank Flash, 32 KB SRAM, USB 2.0 Full-Speed device/host interface, 12-bit ADC (24 channels), and LCD controller (40×8 SEG/COM). It operates up to 40 MHz, supports six low-power modes, and targets embedded control in industrial HMI, metering, and appliance UI subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2 datasheet, CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2 pinout, CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2 application, or CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2 equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-bank Flash for seamless firmware updates, integrated USB host/device capability, 5 V-tolerant GPIOs on selected pins, RTC with leap-year support, and hardware CRC acceleration for data integrity in resource-constrained systems.
Technical Context
This MCU implements the ARM Cortex-M3 r2p1 core with NVIC supporting 48 peripheral interrupts and 16 priority levels. It integrates dual-bank Flash enabling concurrent read-while-write operations-critical for over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates without halting execution.
The peripheral set includes a full-featured USB 2.0 transceiver with built-in PLL, an LCD controller supporting 40 SEG × 8 COM with internal bias resistors, and two independent 12-bit ADC units with 2.0 μs conversion time at 2.7–3.6 V. Clock supervision uses both external oscillators and internal CR oscillators with CSV monitoring for fail-safe timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M3 r2p1, up to 40 MHz - enables deterministic real-time control with Thumb-2 instruction set and low-latency interrupt handling. |
| Flash Memory | 256 KB dual-bank (240 KB upper + 16 KB lower), 0-wait-state read - supports background write/erase for live firmware patching and bootloader resilience. |
| SRAM | 32 KB total (16 KB SRAM0 on I/D bus + 16 KB SRAM1 on system bus) - separates instruction/data access paths to reduce bus contention. |
| USB Interface | Full-Speed device/host with 6 endpoints (EP0–EP5), EP1 double-buffered at 256 B - enables HID, CDC, and mass storage class implementations without external PHY. |
| ADC | Two 12-bit SAR units, 24-channel input, 2.0 μs conversion @ 2.7–3.6 V - meets sub-10 μs sampling requirements for motor current sensing and power quality monitoring. |
| Power Supply | 1.65–3.6 V operation; 3.0–3.6 V required for USB; 2.2–3.6 V for LCDC - allows single-supply design across mixed-signal subsystems with voltage scaling. |
| Low-Power Modes | Six modes including Deep Standby RTC/Stop with RAM retention options - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and smart meters. |
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 and ground | Dedicated analog/digital power domains; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines to ensure ADC and USB signal integrity. |
| XTAL1/XTAL2 | Main clock oscillator inputs | Supports 4–48 MHz crystal; used for CPU, USB PLL, and peripheral timing - critical for USB frame accuracy and real-time scheduling. |
| OSC32IN/OSC32OUT | Sub-clock oscillator inputs | 32.768 kHz crystal connection for RTC and low-power wake-up timers - enables calendar timekeeping during Deep Standby modes. |
| USB_DP/USB_DM | USB 2.0 differential data lines | Integrated transceiver with internal termination; requires 27 Ω series resistors and controlled impedance routing for Full-Speed compliance. |
| SEG0–SEG39, COM0–COM7 | Segment and common outputs | Direct drive for static or multiplexed LCD panels up to 40×8; internal resistor ladder eliminates external bias network. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-bank Flash memory | Enables atomic firmware updates: one bank executes while the other is erased/written - eliminates boot failure risk during field upgrades. |
| USB device/host dual mode | Single silicon supports both peripheral (e.g., HID keyboard) and host (e.g., USB flash reader) roles - reduces BOM count in portable HMI designs. |
| Hardware CRC accelerator | Offloads CCITT CRC16 and IEEE-802.3 CRC32 computation - cuts CPU cycles by >90% vs. software implementation for secure firmware image verification. |
| Port relocate function | Allows remapping of UART, I²C, CSIO, and timer outputs to alternate GPIO pins - simplifies PCB layout and avoids signal congestion in dense 100-pin layouts. |
| RTC with leap-year logic | Maintains accurate calendar time across century boundaries without host software intervention - essential for energy metering and logging applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supported voltage range for CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2?
The CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2 operates at up to 40 MHz and supports a wide supply range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V. USB functionality requires VCC between 3.0 V and 3.6 V, while LCD operation is guaranteed from 2.2 V to 3.6 V. These ranges enable flexible power architecture design across battery-powered and line-powered applications without level-shifting.
Does this MCU support USB host mode, and what peripherals can it enumerate?
Yes, CY9AFB42NBPQC-G-JNE2 supports USB 2.0 Full-Speed and Low-Speed host mode with automatic device connect/disconnect detection. It can enumerate standard class devices including HID keyboards/mice, CDC modems, and mass storage devices (e.g., USB flash drives), using its built-in 256-byte packet buffer and hardware handshake processing.
How does the dual-bank Flash architecture improve firmware reliability?
Dual-bank Flash allows simultaneous execution from one bank while erasing or programming the other. This enables atomic firmware updates: new code is written to the inactive bank, validated, then the boot vector is switched - eliminating risk of bricking during power loss or interruption, a critical requirement for unattended field-deployed equipment.
Is the RTC capable of maintaining accurate time across power cycles and calendar boundaries?
Yes, the integrated RTC counts year/month/day/hour/minute/second/day-of-week with automatic leap-year correction through year 2099. When powered by the 32.768 kHz sub-clock in Deep Standby RTC mode, it maintains time with typical ±2 ppm accuracy and retains calendar state across full power loss - verified in datasheet Section 13.5.2.
