CY8C21512-24PVXA

Overview

The CY8C21512-24PVXA is an 8-bit microcontroller from the Cypress PSOC 1 family, utilizing the M8C core. It features 8 kB of Flash program memory and 512 bytes of SRAM data RAM. The device operates at a maximum clock frequency of 24 MHz and supports a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.25 V. It is housed in a 20-SSOP package with 16 I/O lines. Integrated peripherals include a 10-bit ADC with multiple channels, two timers/counters, and communication interfaces such as I2C, SPI, and UART.

Feature Summary

• Integrates programmable analog blocks for mixed-signal applications
• Supports digital communication protocols including I2C, SPI, and UART
• Includes built-in low-voltage detection and power-on reset circuits

Applications

• Portable consumer electronics requiring mixed-signal processing
• Battery-powered devices utilizing low-power operation modes
• Industrial control systems needing analog-to-digital conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against official Infineon or Cypress documentation to confirm manufacturing revision and material compliance status. Ensure compatibility with the 20-SSOP footprint during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS directive adherence through current datasheets before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 8-bit MCU with integrated analog capabilities is required. The 20-SSOP package suits space-constrained designs. Compare pin counts and peripheral availability against other CY8C21xxx variants to ensure sufficient I/O and ADC channels for the specific application requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PSOC 1 CY8C21xxx series, which combines a fast 8-bit CPU with configurable analog and digital blocks. The series is designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications requiring mixed-signal functionality in a small form factor, bridging the gap between pure digital MCUs and complex SoCs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for CY8C215xx variants with different package options or speed grades. Verify if CY8C213xx series parts offer compatible pinouts or necessary peripheral sets for direct substitution.
