CY7C68015A-56LTXC

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The CY7C68015A-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 targets nonbattery-powered applications with a typical suspend current of 300 µA.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or Infineon-certified channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific package variants such as QFN-56. Review the latest datasheet revision for any updates to electrical characteristics or ordering information before finalizing procurement specifications.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select the CY7C68015A-56LTXC for nonbattery-powered designs requiring High-Speed USB connectivity. Choose this variant over the CY7C68016A if a higher typical suspend current of 300 µA is acceptable in exchange for specific GPIO configurations available in the 56-pin QFN package. Ensure external crystal requirements match the 24-MHz specification for proper clock generation.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the EZ-USB FX2LP family, which serves as a low-power version of the original EZ-USB FX2. The FX2LP series provides fit, form, and function compatibility with previous generations while offering double the on-chip RAM and lower power consumption. It is widely used in applications requiring cost-effective USB 2.0 integration with embedded processing capabilities.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The CY7C68013A-56LTXC is a pin-compatible alternative within the same family, differing primarily in suspend current specifications. Verify software compatibility and GPIO mapping differences when substituting between CY7C68013A and CY7C68015A variants.
