Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touchscreen controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY8CMBR3116 | 16-channel CapSense-only device, no ARM core or USB interface - requires external MCU for gesture processing | Limited to small overlays (< 4") and basic tap/swipe; no multi-finger or proximity support | Select when cost-sensitive designs use existing host MCU and require only basic touch sensing |
| MTCH6302-I/SS | Microchip 64-channel controller with I²C/SPI only; lacks USB HID and wet-finger firmware stack | Requires custom driver development for OS integration; no out-of-box Windows HID compliance | Choose for embedded Linux systems where USB stack porting is feasible and BOM cost is primary constraint |
Compared with CY8CMBR3116 and MTCH6302-I/SS, CYAT81688-128AS88 delivers integrated firmware, USB HID compliance, and production-ready wet-finger algorithms - reducing system-level validation effort by eliminating host-side gesture processing and driver development.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported overlay thickness for CYAT81688-128AS88?
The CYAT81688-128AS88 supports up to 8 mm of glass or plastic overlay thickness in standard configuration, with firmware-tunable sensitivity allowing extension to 12 mm for specialized industrial enclosures. This is achieved through programmable charge time and integration window control in the CapSense hardware block.
Does CYAT81688-128AS88 require an external crystal oscillator?
No. The device integrates a factory-trimmed 24 MHz internal oscillator with ±2% accuracy across temperature and voltage, sufficient for USB timing and CapSense scanning. An external 24 MHz crystal may be used for tighter USB timing tolerance but is not required for basic operation.
Can CYAT81688-128AS88 operate with gloves?
Yes. It supports conductive and non-conductive glove operation via configurable signal-to-noise ratio thresholds and adaptive baseline tracking. Tested with 1.5 mm latex and 3 mm leather gloves at full sensitivity, maintaining 99.5% touch detection rate under ISO 9241-9 compliant testing.
Is there a reference design available for CYAT81688-128AS88?
Yes. Infineon provides the CY8CKIT-028-TTJB TrueTouch evaluation kit, which includes a 7" demo overlay, pre-flashed firmware, GUI configurator software, and schematic/layout files for the CYAT81688-128AS88 QFN footprint - all accessible via Infineon's official developer portal.
