Product details
Overview
CYTT21403-56LQI44T from Cypress Semiconductor is a TrueTouch® multi-touch all-points touchscreen controller featuring a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™ CPU, 44 sense I/Os, support for up to 10 simultaneous touches, and integrated DualSense™ for water/wet-finger tracking. It delivers 35-VPP charger noise immunity via ChargerArmor™, supports 2.5-mm passive stylus with automatic mode switching, and operates with 9-mW average power in active mode for portable touch interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CYTT21403-56LQI44T datasheet, CYTT21403-56LQI44T pinout, CYTT21403-56LQI44T application, or CYTT21403-56LQI44T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-sense-I/O QFN package, glove-touch capability (thin/thick), passive stylus handling, and I²C/SPI interface compatibility with Android™ and embedded HMI systems.
Technical Context
This controller implements a register-configurable capacitive sensing architecture with dedicated hardware acceleration for mutual-capacitance scanning across up to 44 sense lines. Its ARM Cortex-M core executes real-time touch processing firmware, including baseline tracking, large-object rejection, and palm suppression algorithms without host CPU intervention.
The device integrates analog front-end circuitry optimized for high-SNR operation at up to 500 kHz TX frequency and supports flexible sensor routing-including Manhattan, diamond, SLIM®, and metal-mesh patterns-enabling single-layer FPC designs for on-cell and SOL touch-integrated displays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sense I/O Count | 44 pins - enables full multi-touch coverage on mid-size panels (e.g., 5.5-inch 16:9 with 4.0-mm electrode pitch) |
| Max Simultaneous Touches | 10 fingers - supports complex gestures and multi-user interaction in consumer HMI |
| Charger Noise Immunity | 35 VPP - ensures stable operation during fast-charging with legacy and AT&T® Zero chargers |
| Active Power Consumption | 9 mW - enables battery-powered devices to sustain >1-week standby with periodic look-for-touch polling |
| Interface Options | I²C (100/400 kbps) and SPI (up to 8 Mbps) - provides flexibility for low-pin-count or high-throughput host integration |
| Stylus Support | 2.5-mm passive stylus with auto-mode switching - eliminates manual UI mode toggling during mixed finger/stylus input |
| Glove Mode | Thin glove (≤1 mm) / thick glove (≤5 mm) - maintains usability in industrial, medical, or cold-environment applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin QFN (6 × 6 × 0.6 mm, 0.35-mm lead pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDIO | Digital/I/O supply | 1.71–1.95 V or 2.0–5.5 V - supports direct connection to system I/O rails without level-shifting |
| VDDA | Analog supply | 2.65–4.7 V - powers sensitive analog front-end; requires local low-noise filtering |
| SCL/SDA | I²C interface | Open-drain, 3.3-V tolerant - compatible with standard I²C host controllers and pull-up resistors |
| SPI_CS/SPI_SCLK/SPI_MOSI/SPI_MISO | SPI interface | CMOS inputs/outputs - enables high-speed configuration and raw scan data streaming |
| INT | Interrupt output | Active-low, open-drain - signals host when new touch report is ready or gesture event occurs |
| RST | Hardware reset | Asynchronous active-low - initiates full internal state reset and bootloader entry if held during power-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-touch controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CYTT21401-56LQI44T | Lacks passive stylus support; same glove and ChargerArmor™ features | Not suitable for applications requiring 2.5-mm stylus input or mixed stylus/finger workflows | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs stylus functionality and panel size remains ≤5.5 inch |
| CYTT31702-56LQI48T | 48-sense-I/O, adds Easy Wake gesture support, higher max touch count (10), same stylus/glove features | Requires larger sensor grid; supports wake-from-off LCD gestures like swipe-to-unlock | Select for premium-tier devices needing deeper power-state control and expanded I/O for larger panels |
Compared with CYTT21401-56LQI44T, this part adds passive stylus capability without increasing power or footprint; versus CYTT31702-56LQI48T, it trades 4 I/Os and Easy Wake for tighter BOM cost and simpler layout on 44-line sensor arrays.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported electrode pitch for CYTT21403-56LQI44T at 5.5-inch screen size?
The device supports up to 4.0-mm electrode pitch on 5.5-inch diagonal 16:9 displays, enabling high-resolution mutual-capacitance sensing with 44 sense lines and optimal SNR. This pitch aligns with standard sensor stackups using ITO or metal mesh on glass or PET substrates.
Does CYTT21403-56LQI44T require external crystal or oscillator?
No external crystal is required: the controller integrates a precision internal oscillator for system clock generation and supports optional external clock input only for advanced synchronization with display timing signals. Internal RC accuracy meets ±2% over industrial temperature range.
How does ChargerArmor™ achieve 35-VPP noise immunity without external filtering?
ChargerArmor™ combines adaptive digital notch filtering, real-time TX frequency dithering, and correlated double sampling in the analog front-end to suppress common-mode and differential-mode noise from switch-mode chargers - eliminating need for ferrite beads or LC filters in most layouts.
Can CYTT21403-56LQI44T operate with both I²C and SPI simultaneously?
No - the interface is selected at boot via hardware strapping (GPIO configuration) or firmware initialization; only one interface is active at a time. I²C is default for Android™ integration; SPI is used where higher bandwidth is needed for raw scan data or custom host protocols.
