CY7C68014A-56LTXC

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The CY7C68014A-56LTXC is a USB microcontroller from the EZ-USB FX2LP family, designed as a high-speed USB peripheral controller. It integrates a USB 2.0 transceiver, Smart SIE, and an enhanced 8051 microprocessor on a single chip. The device supports signaling speeds of 12 Mbps (Full Speed) and 480 Mbps (High Speed). It features 16 KB of on-chip code/data RAM, four programmable endpoints with buffering options, and a General Programmable Interface (GPIF). Operating at 3.3 V with 5-V tolerant inputs, it draws no more than 85 mA in any mode. The CY7C68014A variant is optimized for battery-powered applications with a typical suspend current of 100 µA.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through official Infineon channels or authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for End-of-Life notifications, as discontinuance notices may apply to specific manufacturing dates. Ensure ordering suffixes match required package types and temperature grades.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select the CY7C68014A over the CY7C68013A when lower suspend current is required for battery-powered designs, as the CY7C68014A offers a typical suspend current of 100 µA compared to 300 µA for the CY7C68013A. Both variants are functionally compatible and fit/form/function identical. Choose the 56-pin QFN package for compact footprint requirements.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

The CY7C68014A belongs to the EZ-USB FX2LP series, which is a low-power version of the original EZ-USB FX2 (CY7C68013). It maintains pin, object-code, and functional compatibility with the FX2 family while offering double the on-chip RAM and reduced power consumption. The product line is now part of the Infineon Technologies portfolio following the acquisition of Cypress Semiconductor.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The CY7C68013A is a direct functional replacement with higher suspend current (300 µA). The CY7C68015A and CY7C68016A are also compatible but feature additional GPIOs and are available only in the 56-pin QFN package.
