CYUSB3016-BZXC

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The CYUSB3016-BZXC is a configurable SuperSpeed USB peripheral controller from the EZ-USB SX3 family. It integrates a 200-MHz ARM926EJ-S core with 512 KB of embedded SRAM and supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and USB 2.0 protocols. The device features three physical endpoints and a General Configurable Interface supporting up to 100 MHz operation with 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit data buses. It operates on independent power domains, with a 1.2 V core supply and I/O voltages ranging from 1.2 V to 3.3 V. Packaged in a 121-ball BGA, it is designed for high-throughput data acquisition and video capture applications.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BZXC' against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the EZ-USB SX3 Configuration Utility for firmware deployment. Check for any recent silicon errata affecting GPIO or clock configurations before finalizing design specifications.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this model over other SX3 variants based on the requirement for a 32-bit data bus width on the General Configurable Interface. The CYUSB3016 supports USB vendor class protocols rather than the UVC/UAC classes found in the CYUSB3017. Confirm that the system design accommodates the 121-ball BGA footprint and the required external crystal or clock source frequencies.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

The CYUSB3016 belongs to the EZ-USB SX3 series, which provides a configurable alternative to fixed-function controllers. Unlike the FX3 series, the SX3 allows hardware interface configuration via software tools, enabling a single silicon variant to support multiple application profiles such as image sensors or FPGA bridges without changing the component.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The CYUSB3015 serves as a compatible alternative if an 8-bit or 16-bit interface width is sufficient. The CYUSB3017 is suitable for applications requiring native UVC and UAC protocol support instead of vendor class. Verify pinout compatibility when substituting within the SX3 family.
