Product details
Overview
CYTT21403-56LQI44 from Cypress Semiconductor is a multi-touch capacitive touchscreen controller featuring a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™ CPU, 44 sense I/O pins, support for up to 10 simultaneous touches, and integrated DualSense™ for water rejection and wet-finger tracking. It delivers 300 Hz refresh rate, 500 kHz TX frequency, and 35-VPP charger noise immunity via ChargerArmor™, targeting mid-size touchscreens in industrial HMIs and consumer portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the CYTT21403-56LQI44 datasheet, CYTT21403-56LQI44 pinout, CYTT21403-56LQI44 application, or CYTT21403-56LQI44 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-sense-pin QFN package, glove/touch stylus mode switching, analog supply range (2.65–4.7 V), and I²C/SPI interface compatibility with Android™-based embedded UI stacks.
Technical Context
This controller implements an all-points scanning architecture with configurable TX/RX sequencing, enabling Manhattan, diamond, SLIM®, and Totem-pole sensor patterns on PET/glass substrates and on-cell AMOLED/LCD displays. Its dual-sensing engine processes mutual-capacitance data while simultaneously rejecting large-object interference and baseline drift from environmental humidity or temperature shifts.
The device integrates dedicated hardware accelerators for palm rejection, fingernail detection, and automatic mode switching between bare finger, thin/thick glove (≤1 mm / ≤5 mm), and 2.5-mm passive stylus input - all without host CPU intervention. Timing synchronization with external display drivers ensures stable touch reporting during active panel updates.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-touch capacitive controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATMXT224E-MAU | 224-node max capacity; 32-sense-pin QFN; no built-in ChargerArmor™; requires external noise filtering | Limited to smaller screens (<4.3"); lower SNR in high-noise charging environments | Select when cost-sensitive designs prioritize footprint over charger immunity and glove support |
| FT5426GQR | 48-sense-pin QFN; supports 10 touches; lacks DualSense™ and passive stylus auto-switching | No wet-finger or water rejection; stylus requires separate mode command; higher host CPU load for baseline management | Choose for Android-only deployments where firmware-level noise mitigation suffices and stylus use is infrequent |
Compared with ATMXT224E-MAU and FT5426GQR, CYTT21403-56LQI44 uniquely integrates hardware-accelerated ChargerArmor™, DualSense™, and automatic stylus/glove mode switching - reducing host processing load and enabling robust operation in humid, high-noise, or gloved-use scenarios without external components or calibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported touchscreen size for CYTT21403-56LQI44?
The CYTT21403-56LQI44 supports up to 7.0-inch diagonal screens with 5.0-mm electrode pitch and 16:9 aspect ratio, or up to 5.5-inch with 4.0-mm pitch. Actual size depends on sensor layout (e.g., 31 × 17 node grid), mechanical stackup, and signal integrity - not just I/O count.
Does CYTT21403-56LQI44 require external components for charger noise suppression?
No. ChargerArmor™ is implemented in hardware and requires no external filters or ferrites. It synchronizes internal sampling to charger ripple frequency and applies adaptive digital cancellation - validated for immunity up to 35-VPP noise on VDDA and I/O lines.
Can CYTT21403-56LQI44 operate with both 1.8-V and 3.3-V host interfaces?
Yes. Its digital I/O supports 1.71–1.95 V or 2.0–5.5 V operation, allowing direct connection to 1.8-V SoCs (e.g., Qualcomm Snapdragon S4) or 3.3-V microcontrollers without level shifters. VDDD must be set accordingly, and I²C pull-ups referenced to the same rail.
Is Android™ driver support included out-of-the-box?
Yes. Cypress provides certified Android™ HAL and kernel drivers (Linux 3.4+ and Android 4.2+) with full gesture engine integration, including multi-finger tracking, palm rejection, and stylus/glove mode reporting - deployable without modification on compatible BSPs.
