Product details
Overview
CYAT81688-100AS71KH 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, programmable digital signal processing, and I²C/SPI/UART host interface - deployed in industrial HMI panels requiring robust noise immunity and glove operation.
For engineers reviewing the CYAT81688-100AS71KH datasheet, CYAT81688-100AS71KH pinout, CYAT81688-100AS71KH application, or CYAT81688-100AS71KH equivalent, key selection criteria include mutual-capacitance channel count, integrated firmware configurability, ESD tolerance (±15 kV air), operating voltage range, and host interface flexibility for embedded touch system integration.
Technical Context
This device implements a mixed-signal configurable system-on-chip architecture combining CapSense® sensing hardware with ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU core, enabling real-time touch algorithm execution and sensor self-calibration without external processor intervention. It supports both self- and mutual-capacitance measurement modes with programmable scan resolution (8–16-bit) and adaptive baseline tracking.
The TrueTouch engine includes dedicated hardware accelerators for centroid calculation, gesture recognition (swipe, zoom), and proximity detection, all configurable via Infineon's PSoC Creator IDE. Firmware updates are supported over I²C or UART using secure boot loader functionality.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touch controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8C4014LQI-422 | Lower channel count (16 mutual), no integrated gesture engine, 64-pin QFN package | Suitable for small-form-factor panels (<4") with basic button/slider needs only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs advanced gesture or large-panel support |
| MTCH6302-I/ST | No embedded MCU; requires external host for algorithm execution; 28-pin SOIC package | Targeted at designs where host processor handles all touch logic and firmware is managed externally | Select when existing host has spare CPU cycles and firmware maintenance is centralized |
Compared with CYAT81688-100AS71KH, CY8C4014LQI-422 reduces feature set and scalability but lowers unit cost and footprint, while MTCH6302-I/ST shifts processing burden to host and simplifies IC-level validation at the expense of real-time responsiveness and self-contained operation.

FAQ
What host interfaces does CYAT81688-100AS71KH support?
CYAT81688-100AS71KH supports I²C (up to 1 MHz), SPI (up to 12 MHz), and UART (up to 921.6 kbps) host interfaces. All three can be enabled simultaneously, with configurable pin mapping and interrupt signaling. I²C is typically used for configuration and status polling, while SPI handles high-speed data transfer during active scanning.
Does CYAT81688-100AS71KH require external memory for firmware storage?
No. The device integrates 128 KB of on-chip flash memory and 16 KB of SRAM, sufficient to store the complete CapSense firmware, gesture library, and customer application code. No external EEPROM or flash is required for normal operation or field updates.
Can CYAT81688-100AS71KH operate with wet fingers or gloves?
Yes. Its TrueTouch architecture includes adaptive thresholding, dynamic baseline tracking, and noise filtering optimized for wet-finger operation (up to 1 mm water film) and glove use (up to 2 mm thickness). These modes are configurable via CapSense Tuner without firmware changes.
What is the thermal pad (EPAD) connection requirement?
The EPAD must be soldered to a solid copper ground plane on the PCB. It is internally connected to VSS and serves dual purposes: thermal dissipation during sustained scanning and EMI shielding for the analog sensing circuitry. Omitting EPAD connection degrades noise immunity and may cause thermal throttling above 60°C ambient.
