Confirm that the operating temperature range and voltage specifications align with your system requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this microcontroller for applications requiring low cost and reduced external components due to its integrated oscillator. Consider the pin count and GPIO flexibility when designing interfaces for sensors or displays. Ensure compatibility with existing development tools based on Cypress PSoC® Tools for efficient programming and debugging.

Part Context

The CY7C60223-PXC belongs to the enCoRe™ II Low Voltage family, designed for non-USB applications. This series emphasizes component reduction and ease of use by integrating essential functions like wakeup circuitry directly onto the chip. It targets consumer electronics and wireless devices where cost and size are critical factors.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other members within the enCoRe II LV family that may offer different pin counts or memory sizes if the current part does not meet all design constraints. Verify pin compatibility and software compatibility when considering alternative microcontrollers from the same manufacturer.
