Product details
Overview
CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller in the FM3 family, operating up to 72 MHz with dual-bank 256 KB Flash (240 KB upper + 16 KB lower), 32 KB SRAM (16 KB SRAM0 + 16 KB SRAM1), and integrated peripherals including 26-channel 12-bit ADC, dual 10-bit DAC, eight UART/CSIO/I²C/LIN serial channels, and hardware CRC accelerator. It targets low-power embedded motor control and industrial sensing applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 datasheet, CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 pinout, CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 application, or CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-bank Flash for seamless firmware updates, 5 V-tolerant I/O on selected pins, six low-power modes (including Deep Standby RTC), real-time clock with leap-year support, and SWJ-DP debug interface with unique 41-bit ID.
Technical Context
The CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 implements an Arm Cortex-M3 r2p1 core with NVIC supporting 48 peripheral interrupts and 16 priority levels, plus a 24-bit SysTick timer for OS task scheduling. Its memory subsystem features dual-operation Flash enabling concurrent read-erase-write across banks and two independent SRAM blocks (SRAM0 on I/D-code bus, SRAM1 on system bus) for deterministic access timing.
Peripheral integration includes a DMA controller with eight channels supporting byte/half-word/word transfers across 4 GB address space, quadrature position/revolution counters with 16-bit position and revolution registers, and a multi-function timer unit capable of PWM generation, dead-time insertion, and A/D activation triggers - all optimized for closed-loop motor control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supported voltage range?
The CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 operates at up to 72 MHz and supports a wide supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This allows direct interfacing with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters, and maintains stable performance across industrial temperature ranges (–40°C to +85°C) under varying rail conditions.
Does this MCU support LIN communication natively?
Yes - the CY9BF122KQN-G-AVERE2 integrates full LIN 2.1 protocol support in its serial interface units, including hardware break field generation (13–16 bit), break delimiter control (1–4 bit), and automatic error detection (parity, framing, overrun). No external LIN transceiver is required for basic master/slave operation.
How does the dual-bank Flash architecture improve firmware reliability?
Dual-bank Flash enables true background programming: while the upper bank runs active firmware, the lower bank can be erased and reprogrammed - allowing atomic firmware updates without halting execution. This eliminates risk of corruption during power loss and supports secure OTA deployment in remote industrial assets.
Is the real-time clock (RTC) operational in all low-power modes?
The RTC remains active in Sleep, Timer, RTC, and Deep Standby RTC modes, but is disabled in Stop and Deep Standby Stop modes. In Deep Standby RTC mode, it continues counting with optional RAM retention, enabling calendar-aware wake-up events after months of battery operation.
