CY7C68015A-56LFXC

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The CY7C68015A-56LFXC is a USB 2.0 High Speed Peripheral Controller from the EZ-USB FX2LP family, manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It integrates a USB 2.0 transceiver, Smart SIE, and an enhanced 8051 microprocessor in a single chip. The device supports signaling rates of 12 Mbps (Full Speed) and 480 Mbps (High Speed). Key specifications include 16 KBytes of on-chip code/data RAM, four programmable BULK/INTERRUPT/ISOCHRONOUS endpoints with buffering options, and a General Programmable Interface (GPIF). It operates at 3.3V with 5V tolerant inputs and features ultra-low power consumption, with a typical suspend current of 300 μA for non-battery powered applications.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or official Cypress/Infineon channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest datasheet revision. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuance alerts from the manufacturer before procurement planning.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring fit, form, and function compatibility with the original FX2 while offering lower power consumption. Ensure the design accommodates the 56-pin QFN package with exposed pad. Verify that the application requires the specific suspend current characteristics of the CY7C68015A variant rather than the battery-optimized CY7C68016A.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the EZ-USB FX2LP™ family, which includes the CY7C68013A, CY7C68014A, CY7C68015A, and CY7C68016A. The FX2LP series is designed as a low-power, cost-effective solution compared to the standard FX2, featuring double the on-chip RAM and integrated USB 2.0 transceivers. It maintains object-code compatibility with the FX2 family.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The CY7C68016A-56LFXC is a pin-compatible alternative within the same family, distinguished by its lower suspend current (100 μA typ) suitable for battery-powered applications. Other variants like CY7C68013A/14A offer different package options but share similar functional cores.
