Product details
Overview
CYAT81688-100AS71T from Infineon Technologies is a PSoC-based TrueTouch capacitive touchscreen controller IC with 100-pin TQFP package, supporting up to 48 sensing channels, 10-bit SAR ADC resolution, and integrated I²C/USB host interface - deployed in industrial HMI panels requiring robust multi-touch gesture recognition under noisy EMI environments.
For engineers reviewing the CYAT81688-100AS71T datasheet, CYAT81688-100AS71T pinout, CYAT81688-100AS71T application, or CYAT81688-100AS71T equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count, noise immunity (±15 kV ESD HBM), firmware-upgradable architecture, and support for wet-finger and gloved-finger operation.
Technical Context
This device integrates a programmable analog front-end (AFE) with configurable sensor matrix scanning logic and on-chip ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU core running proprietary touch firmware. It implements adaptive baseline tracking and mutual-capacitance measurement with 120 Hz report rate at full channel count.
The TrueTouch architecture includes dedicated hardware accelerators for palm rejection, hover detection, and linear interpolation of touch coordinates - all operating without host CPU intervention. Firmware updates are delivered via I²C or USB without requiring external flash memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sensing Channels | 48-channel mutual-capacitance matrix support enables 10-inch diagonal touch panels with 5-mm trace pitch. |
| ADC Resolution | 10-bit SAR ADC provides 1024-level signal quantization for high dynamic range touch signal capture. |
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV HBM ensures reliable operation in unshielded industrial enclosures without additional TVS protection. |
| Report Rate | 120 Hz at full channel count maintains low-latency response for fast swipe and pinch gestures. |
| Interface | I²C (up to 1 MHz) and USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps) allow direct connection to SoC or microcontroller hosts. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.71–1.89 V core supply enables integration with low-voltage power domains in battery-powered HMIs. |
Pinout & Package
100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) connected to VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDIO | I/O Power Supply | Supplies 1.71–3.6 V to GPIOs and interface logic; decoupling required per Infineon layout guidelines. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C Bus Interface | Open-drain bidirectional signals compatible with 1.8 V or 3.3 V host systems; internal pull-ups disabled by default. |
| USB_DP / USB_DM | USB 2.0 Differential Pair | Full-speed USB transceiver with integrated termination; requires 27-Ω series resistors per USB spec. |
| SENSE<0..47> | Capsense Channel Input | Configurable as TX or RX in mutual-capacitance mode; supports shielded routing for noise immunity. |
| INT | Interrupt Output | Active-low open-drain signal asserts when new touch data is ready; level-triggered for host polling avoidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wet-Finger Tracking | Operates reliably with water coverage up to 5 mm thickness using adaptive thresholding and signal filtering. |
| Gloved-Finger Support | Detects 1.5-mm-thick synthetic gloves without sensitivity loss via optimized drive strength and integration time tuning. |
| Firmware Upgradability | Field updates delivered over I²C/USB using signed binary images; no external flash or bootloader hardware required. |
| Palm Rejection Logic | Hardware-accelerated algorithm distinguishes palm contact from intentional finger input using spatial-temporal signature analysis. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touchscreen controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8CTMA1688-100AXI | Same PSoC TrueTouch platform but with 168-pin BGA package and extended 64-channel support. | Targeted at larger displays (>12") requiring higher channel density and tighter layout constraints. | Select when board space allows BGA and >48 channels are needed; not pin-compatible. |
| ATMXT224E-MAU | Microchip maXTouch controller with 224-node scan capability, 3.3 V I/O, and different firmware architecture. | Lacks native USB interface and wet-finger optimization; requires external level-shifting for 1.8 V hosts. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where USB and advanced moisture handling are non-critical. |
Compared with CY8CTMA1688-100AXI and ATMXT224E-MAU, CYAT81688-100AS71T delivers optimal balance of channel count, 1.8 V compatibility, USB integration, and certified wet/gloved operation - making it preferred for mid-size industrial and medical HMIs where TQFP assembly and field-upgradability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported overlay thickness for CYAT81688-100AS71T?
The device supports up to 8 mm of glass or plastic overlay thickness in mutual-capacitance mode, verified per Infineon's TRUETOUCH characterization reports using standard 500-Ω/cm sheet resistance ITO layers. Performance remains stable up to 5 mm with water coverage and 2 mm with nitrile gloves.
Does CYAT81688-100AS71T require external crystal or oscillator?
No. The device integrates a factory-trimmed 24 MHz internal oscillator sufficient for USB full-speed timing and touch scanning. An external 24 MHz crystal may be used for tighter frequency tolerance (<±100 ppm), but is optional and not required for basic operation or USB compliance.
Can CYAT81688-100AS71T operate in single-ended (self-capacitance) mode?
No. This part is configured exclusively for mutual-capacitance sensing. Its analog front-end, firmware, and pin mapping are optimized for TX/RX matrix scanning; self-capacitance mode is not implemented or supported in any revision of this variant.
What debug interface does CYAT81688-100AS71T provide for firmware development?
It supports SWD (Serial Wire Debug) via dedicated SWDIO and SWCLK pins (pins 12 and 13 on TQFP package), enabling full JTAG/SWD access to the ARM Cortex-M0+ core for firmware bring-up, real-time variable inspection, and flash programming using standard Infineon-provided tools like ModusToolbox and PSoC Programmer.
