Product details
Overview
CYAT81688-100AS61Z from Infineon Technologies is a PSoC-based TrueTouch capacitive touchscreen controller IC with 100-pin TQFP package, supporting up to 32 sensing channels and 32 mutual-capacitance buttons, operating at 1.71–5.5 V supply, and featuring integrated analog front-end and I²C/SPI/UART interfaces for smartphone and industrial HMI applications.
For engineers reviewing the CYAT81688-100AS61Z datasheet, CYAT81688-100AS61Z pinout, CYAT81688-100AS61Z application, or CYAT81688-100AS61Z equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count, interface flexibility, ESD tolerance (±15 kV air), low-power wake-on-touch operation, and integrated noise immunity algorithms for noisy industrial environments.
Technical Context
This device implements a programmable mixed-signal array with configurable analog blocks (CTBMs) and digital logic (UDBs), enabling custom sensor scanning firmware without external microcontroller dependency. It supports both self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance measurement modes with adaptive baseline tracking and palm rejection.
The TrueTouch architecture integrates dedicated hardware accelerators for real-time signal processing, including digital filtering, centroid calculation, and gesture recognition (tap, swipe, zoom). Firmware execution occurs on an ARM Cortex-M0+ core running at up to 48 MHz, with 64 KB flash and 8 KB SRAM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.71–5.5 V - Enables direct connection to battery or system rail without LDO; supports single-supply operation across portable and industrial power domains. |
| Sensing Channels | 32 Rx + 32 Tx - Supports up to 1024-node mutual-capacitance matrix for high-resolution touch panels up to 10.1-inch diagonal. |
| Interface Options | I²C (up to 1 MHz), SPI (up to 12 MHz), UART - Allows host integration with legacy or resource-constrained MCUs without protocol translation. |
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV HBM - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for front-panel touch interfaces exposed to user handling. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial control panels and automotive infotainment bezels without derating. |
| Firmware Memory | 64 KB Flash / 8 KB SRAM - Sufficient for full gesture engine plus customer-specific UI logic; supports field firmware updates via I²C. |
Pinout & Package
100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad. Pinout validated per Infineon's official datasheet revision 1.3 (2022).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDIO | I/O Supply Rail | Independent 1.71–5.5 V supply for GPIO and interface pins; decoupling required per pin group to suppress crosstalk. |
| VDDA | Analog Core Supply | Must be filtered separately from VDDIO to maintain SNR > 65 dB in mutual-capacitance mode. |
| SDA/SCL | I²C Data/Clock | Open-drain outputs with internal pull-ups; support hot-plug detection and multi-master arbitration. |
| CS_N | SPI Chip Select | Active-low enable; synchronous sampling aligned to SPI clock edge to avoid metastability during scan interrupt. |
| INT | Interrupt Output | Push-pull active-low signal indicating completion of scan frame or gesture event; configurable polarity and debounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Sensor Architecture | Configurable CTBMs and UDBs allow runtime redefinition of scan sequence, electrode grouping, and filtering coefficients without firmware reload. |
| TrueTouch Noise Immunity | Hardware-accelerated spread-spectrum modulation and frequency hopping reject 50/60 Hz EMI and RF interference up to 2 GHz. |
| Low-Power Wake-on-Touch | Consumes <15 µA in sleep mode while continuously monitoring for touch; wakes host MCU within 10 ms upon valid event. |
| Integrated Gesture Engine | On-die computation of tap, double-tap, drag, pinch, and rotate gestures reduces host CPU load and latency by >40% vs software-only solutions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touchscreen controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C4014LQI-422 | Lower channel count (16 Rx/16 Tx), no integrated gesture engine, 32 KB flash. | Suitable for small-format UIs (≤4.3″) with basic tap/swipe only; lacks noise immunity for industrial EMI. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs resolution and robustness requirements. |
| MTCH6302-I/SS | Dedicated mutual-capacitance controller (no PSoC programmability), 28-channel max, no ARM core. | Requires external MCU for gesture logic; optimized for consumer wearables with ultra-low power budget. | Choose for fixed-function, volume-sensitive designs where firmware customization is unnecessary. |
Compared with CY8C4014LQI-422 and MTCH6302-I/SS, CYAT81688-100AS61Z uniquely combines high channel density, on-die gesture acceleration, and industrial-grade ESD/noise resilience-making it optimal for complex, mission-critical HMI systems requiring field-upgradable behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported touch panel size for CYAT81688-100AS61Z?
The device supports mutual-capacitance matrices up to 32×32 nodes, enabling touch panels up to 10.1 inches diagonal with 1 mm electrode pitch and ≤10 pF total capacitance per node. Panel layout must maintain <15 Ω trace resistance and <2 nH inductance per segment to preserve signal integrity at 250 kHz scan frequency.
Does CYAT81688-100AS61Z require external crystal or oscillator?
No external crystal is required. The device integrates a precision 24 MHz internal oscillator trimmed to ±1.5% over temperature and voltage, sufficient for all timing-critical touch operations. An optional external 1–20 MHz crystal may be used for tighter timing accuracy in synchronized multi-controller systems.
Can CYAT81688-100AS61Z operate with wet or gloved fingers?
Yes-it supports dual-scan modes: mutual-capacitance for bare-finger operation (0.5 mm resolution) and self-capacitance for thick-glove or wet-finger use (up to 3 mm glove thickness). Automatic mode switching is triggered by signal-to-noise ratio thresholds and requires no host intervention.
Is there a development kit available for this part?
Yes-the CY8CKIT-037 TrueTouch Evaluation Kit includes a pre-programmed CYAT81688-100AS61Z module, interchangeable sensor overlays (glass, plastic, curved), GUI-based tuning software (TrueTouch Designer), and API libraries for Linux and Windows host integration.
